so i picked this up from a guy off here a couple days ago. got it pretty cheap, but still think i paid too much with all the work it needs...

dude said it needed a head gasket, but i'm in fear that its much worse than a simple head gasket job.... so a fresh 4A-GE 20 valve motor will be arriving on monday to swap out the old 16v.

other things it needs would be a hood, one of the headlight covers, sunroof glass, windshield, and tires. everything else seems to be in pretty good working order. oh yeah, it needs a radio too, but that's last on my list :)

So this means more mods for the GTO? That is since you'll save money in fuel costs with this.

I was never a fan of those years same here, there butt ugly to me all around "IMO". good luck to the owner though with whatever plans you have for it.

Dubs, nah I did ok on it. With the car, engine, trans, ecu, and harness I'm still under $1500. I should be able to get it where I want and still stay under $2g's.


Collins I thought you were getting that bimmer(e34)? nah, with all the work it needed, it would have put me WAY over budget. Sure, this one isn't as practical, but it should be more fun to drive ;)


i know someone here local with a JDM 3SGTE complete engine for sale..... :) he just pulled it yesterday. Chris, no thanks. That's too much work and more money than I want to put into this car. Besides, my 20v 4A-GE was delivered on Monday. That's all the motor this little thing needs ;)


same here, there butt ugly to me all around "IMO". good luck to the owner though with whatever plans you have for it. haha yeah, you either love 'em or ya hate 'em. It's all good. Should be a fun little car.
