Just Bought A 92 Fastback, Any Pointers? (Now With Pics)
Ive been wanting a 240 for a long time now, and finally came accross one that I could get on payments thats in really good shape. Ill get it on friday when I take the rest of the down payment in. Got it for $2200 after tax and fees. No body damage anywhere, no rust. Only a slight bubble in the back between the taillights. They said it has a newer motor with 70k on it, 170k is on the car. Bad thing, its an auto
![]() Now, I dont have much hands on expierance with cars (just maitnence on my Accord), but I know the basics. First thing I want to ask is what are some common problems to look for? The motor has a slight tick in it, dealer didnt even know it did. The ignition switch is tempermental as well, the key just doesnt want to turn. Those are the only things I could find wrong with it in the hour or so I drove it. I didnt mind the ticking in the motor, cause if its bad Ill just replace it at tax time. If its nothing major, great, Ill keep it and just turbo at tax time ![]() I have a daily driver already, so this will be a project car. In the end I want a nice street car, that Ill take to a road course every once in a while. What are the first things I should be changing on the car? I was thinking suspension (andy's has a Tanabe coilover kit for $800, or just some good struts and springs), 5-lug conversion, and some bolt-ons. A nice set of wheels and tires too when I can afford to. With the payments and insurance I wont have much money for any big stuff untill its payed off and I get my tax return. I also wanted to know what kind maitnence work I should be looking at for the miles on the car and motor. Thanks for the help, I plan on keeping the car for a long time, so Ill be around here a lot now ![]() PICS http://i37.tinypic.com/303fe4o.jpg http://i38.tinypic.com/2mq88yh.jpg http://i35.tinypic.com/2iaeerq.jpg http://i33.tinypic.com/14ceidx.jpg http://i38.tinypic.com/103hkcj.jpg Last edited by ctm 92 240; 10-04-2008 at 05:01 PM.. |
