Thread: Considering selling my 92...

    Default Considering selling my 92...

    As you may or may not know, I've been contracting in Afghanistan for the last 6 months and hope to be here for a good while longer. Initially, I was going to spend some of the money I made here fixing up my NA, but now that I've been away from her for a while I'm seriously thinking about selling it instead. Wondering if anyone is interested.... here's a couple of pics:





    It has around 177k.

    The good:

    Hard Dog Hard Bar
    Kosei K1 Racing wheels
    Tein S-Tech springs
    KYB AGX shocks (several years old)
    FCM bumpstops
    New clutch
    Voodoo spun shift knob
    Still runs great.

    Few other little mods here and there.

    The bad:

    The car has been sitting at my mom's place (Roanoke) for about 6 months. The paint, which wasn't too hot to begin with (crappy job by a crappy body shop) is fading in several places. The top is a few years old and the plastic window shows a lot of wear, but it hasn't cracked. Top is still tight. I moved to Austin for a few months before getting this job, and I didn't have the funds to work on a lot of the little niggling issues (crappy job). The gauge hood is destroyed and long gone. The interior is pretty worn. The reverse indiglo gauges need some solder work to work properly. The headrest speaker wiring is a MESS, I have no idea what is going on there. Tires need replacing. The power steering rack has a leak, so the belt is off. AC doesn't work. Etc! Basically, it would be a good one to strip out and run as a dedicated autocross car or something like that. It has been in a couple of minor accidents involving replaced body panels/repainting, but no lasting damage.

    All in all, it's most definitely a fixer upper... I'm being honest.

    I don't even know what to ask, but I'm guessing it ain't going to be a lot. I'd rather hand it off to someone else and start over completely now that I know more about what I'd like to do in the future.

    Anyone interested? I'd say the wheels and roll bar are worth a little, and the engine (though it has a lot of miles) still runs very well. Autocrossed it three times in Novice and won all three, if that helps I've had the car for about 6 years, and it has never stranded me that I can remember... I was able to drive home from both of the accidents I mentioned. Also, it passes emissions! (woot).

    $1200ish sound too high?

    I am looking for 15 inch wheels and the koseis would be perfect if they are 15x7 et38 or greater.

    Would you consider selling them separate?

    PMs replied to Artur. Goofy, the AC is still in, but I have no idea what is wrong with it. I pulled the belt when it quit a long time back never bothered to replace it since I drove top down 99% of the time.

    Dave, sorry but I'd rather keep everything together for simplicity's sake.

    Not a problem, if you change your mind, I am interested.

    Hey Mad, I guess it probably goes without saying (for a guy who does auto cross) but is that a manual, or automatic trans car? I got a buddy looking for an auto.

    Regards.
