    Default My new ride

    Only payed 800$ for it, guy is the 2nd owner and had it for 7 years. He took such good care of it. The interior is like new, motor was rebuilt @13k tranny @ 100k. body has 166k on it. Turbo spools great, and is loud and very noticeable. Runs soo well, has a pacesetter 2.5 catback on it and a short shifter/drop in filter so far. Paint is a bit oxidized, but im gonna claybar it today and see what happens. And it had a primered spot on the hood. Nedds a A/c compressor and a p/s pump and it will be perfect... Other than that it is PERFECT!!


    1990 Probe GT





    Poor protege...in the background :sad:
