Bumping this for the night.

Ecu was installed, the car started up but would not keep running. I’m assuming there has to be a marjor obstruction in the fuel line. I don’t have the pressure tester anymore so i wont be able to check.

Got the car running again, hose problem inside the fuel pump… i fixed it and now it runs. All it needs is an air temp sensor because this one is failing… it keeps tripping on me. other than that the car is driveable.

I’ve put about 100miles on it since today and yesterday night. and got a ticket for 17 over…

Bumping this + price drop $2100 Firm

Status: I’ve clocked 300 miles on the car in the last week. (im a Sales execution rep. for frito-Lay so i do a lot of driving)

This is what i’ve found…

The car has very little vibration at 110 mph.

The Air temp sensor that is going bad doesn’t go off as much anymore i think because the car / engine sat for so long it just got dirty and shit. I’ll be ordering one once they are back in stock. As for right now i just turn the car off and restart it and it resets for a good 30-60 miles.

I’ll be getting it inspected friday after work, it’ll pass so no worries there.

716-445-0883

Also, runs good yo’

Had to remove the front bumper to put these in, total pain in my fucking ass. Rusted bolts everywhere.

Took me 5 hours but it was worth it, they look good.

Pet Peeve of mine. I HATE when people pull that shit. It’s ignorant to flake but to not even notify the person is downright shitty.

Not worth the effort.

I have 1 person form Illinois coming to NY in about 2 weeks, hes on a business trip. he wants to buy it and drive it home if its not sold by then.

I also have someone from Rochester interested, we’ll see how it goes

but the more i drive it the more i want to keep it, 1200 miles now and no problems. the air temp sensor keeps tripping out and making it run rich, still haven’t bothered buying one…

I’m tempted to snag this as a toy but have nowhere to put it. LOL.  
I’m assuming you do know that on trade in the $2k will come off your taxable amount right? Trading in will save you some extra bucks.
