I need a new bird, lost mine in the divorce, but now I have some money to buy one, know of any good deals? I have about $5,000 I could spend, but the car will be my daily driver for about 2 years.
This is out of my price range...but...What do you think of this Cat?
Good luck with that! I had a hard time finding something that was worth a darn, they are either very nice or very beat. The nice ones are hard to find at a good price. I will keep my eyes open, I check Craigs list almost daily in case someone is selling parts that I am interested in.
However once that car sells there'll be a nice little red X in this posting. I saw it in person, it's nice, but blue is not my color. Yes, it's a 1997 V8 LX, 53K miles, asking $4,995 and he'll go down to $4,795. You can call them at 1-866-491-2466. There's a VIDEO tab as well so you can view it.
Should I do intake or a trans mod? Or just go with a tune?
Getting it from MAD1STGEN... u know him...
Put the down payment on it, and waiting for Inspection by State, probably rebuilt title, as it has light damage.
Should have it next week, then I will have to wait on the title and then insure it and plate it by the end of the month.
Rob, What intake mod are you talking about? I wouldn't worry about the Tranny yet either, go with what Jake said and get a tune.
MAD1stGen sold that to you, I met him once here at the house. Cool man, and it may not be a salvage or rebuilt title, just because it has minor damage doesn't mean its going to change the title. We shall see though. Good luck, now the real fun begins, waiting for all the paperwork to go through.
If I want to j MOD the car, shouldn't the tune account for a J Modded trans?? If I am gonna pull the trigger on the tune co$t, I think I should upgrade to 90mm MaF and a JMOD at the same time, really make it wake up. The tune would be different for a car with JMOD and new MAF than stock car.... as far as I understand it.
This is what I would do. I would listen to Jake, because most of all, Jake has the same car and he has done it; and so it really comes from someone who has the same car and has done the Mods.
