Phenom3030's DB8: Planning to part ways and partially part out...
Howzit all,
Longtime member, never really had a running log so here it goes.
First teg i owned was a brand new 01 GS coupe, satin silver metallic. I traded it in after i joined the military for an S2000 that i didnt own for too long because it was just too small of a car to be my daily with all the travelling i was doing at the time. After i got back from Iraq late 09, i picked up a 95 LS coupe.
And now i just picked up a 1994 GSR with 130k and two previous owners. Found it recently listed in Austin, so I immediately contacted the dealer and arranged to see it. Original asking price was $3800 + TTL. I managed to get it for $3k out the door!:biggrin:
I think it was a great deal considering complete GSR motor packages can go for close to that.
Other than that, its relatively unmolested. Has a few bolt ons AEM V2, DC 4-1 header, and Apexi WS2 catback.
I was lucky enough to see the undercarriage with the mechanics since the car was just traded in a day ago. No major leaks or damage, Doesn't look like its ever been slammed. Clean title, carfax and about 7k miles/year? All in all it looks great for a 17 year old car!
The internet listing didn't have pics up so the dealer texted me the ones below. More to come when they finish their services and I pick it up!
Plan is to transfer over what I can from my 95 coupe. I was basically "pit maneuvered" by a City garbage truck. And have a new (to me), daily! :biggrin: this will be more of a restoration/running log than a build thread. My goals? Just have a clean daily driver that gets good gas mileage and is fun to drive.
