92' AWD - Good engine, good transmission, good rear-end and that's about it.

94 Laser 1.8L--runs and drives, but could use some head work, smokes on startup and lifters are very noisy. Automatic transmission slips while shifting. The tach doesnt work either. (I ship off in 34 days, so i dont really care to fix it)

92 GSX - runs and drives great, just needs a turbo (sold off the 16G to upgrade)
95 TSi AT - should run and drive, but can't get it started (something in the starter relay or ign. switch....I think) -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food

Sounds like somebody should have a big car fixin', BBQ eatin mechanics weakend or something. Everybody finds out what everyone else needs, brings it if they have it, fix some damn cars, eat some BBQ, get to know everybody. I for one have only met one person on this board in person...sounds like it would be cool, although probably difficult.
But hey, at least it would get some cars on the road and fill some bellies. -Nick |

91 GSX low miles, it goes about 3 miles between fill ups
Gas guage no work Damaged turbine wheel from swallowing a spark plug tip. Broken ring and/or pinion gear from beating Gary Gardella out of the hole in Dallas. It will do FWD burnouts currently. Could use some tires. It pulls to the left It pulls to the right It vibrates till around 70, could be tire shake? Its smooth to at least 160mph. -------------------- |

93 n/a 2.0L with a non-pumping auto trans. i guess the pump is what is bad. and i have another working one on hand, just dont want to drop that tranny again and change it and that not be it. maybe someday it will get warm and i wont mind spending a day or probably a weekend fixing this. then i'll drive it. and get rid of my gas guzzling ranger. 16 mpg is not treating me well when i have no job and am always driving around looking and applying for them...anyone know of a job around pekin, morton, etc.? i'm 17 and need cash bad...change oil, wash cars, office work, i really dont care. im good at it all and whatever is available i will take. PM me! PLEASE!

You could always do what i did as of a few days ago. Go work at a mall. I finally realized that ive had this laser for about 6 months w/ out really doing much to it and that i need a cash flow so that she can be what i origionally got her for. Good luck

I have a 1993 Eclipse GSX as my daily driver. The only "problem" that I have is that the lights on the OEM radio/CD player no longer work so I have to feel for the buttons at night (tough to do in the winter when wearing gloves).
