1. wtf is that intake
2. was it stored in the woods?

 

some adapter thing he put on, its going back to stock.

and yes it was under some pine trees down in Plymouth MA. no biggie, it will clean up!

haha i tried!

 

Why cant I find cars like this for $800 bucks ? A little bit of work, and make a profit ! lol

 

check CL man. there all over the place around here. clutches, trans, motors. i had an 06 i bought for $500 with a blown motor. 78K miles. got a 2.2 for $200, did brakes, and other misc stuff. into it for around $1100, sold it for $4750 before i got the title back from the RMV. they're great on gas so people are buying!

 

Ya I found some decent deals before . Just when I called on them, they were sold For example a 2003 Saturn ion coupe , had a bad tranny , 80k miles, for $1k . Should have bought it , and changed the tranny, and sell it, only odd this is that the tranny was already pulled, so I couldn't test if I could start the car.

 

^ yeah thats a tough call. motors are cheap though if the value is in the car i woulda pulled the trigger.

Did a little trouble shooting....

Hada mis-fire when i bought it. has 104K so i figured id throw plugs in it, either way its going to need them. well it wasnt a plug. i unplugged the Coils until i didnt notice a difference. found cyl 1 was dead. pulled plug and checked compresion - 140PSI. ok so thats fine. swapped coils from cyl 2. problem did NOT move. had a spare set of injectors. swapped #1 out and that fixed it.

onto the overheating. car ran for 45 mins before it went over 227*. touched the hose after the T Stat, it was cold. So i put the new t stat in and it never went over 221* going to run it again thsi afternoon and see if it still stays cool. if it does i will be registering the car on Monday, and then i will clean it in and out, fix the small bit of bodydamage and wait for the title to sell it!

 

227 is high ? My lsj goes all the way up to 223 then fan kicks on lol

 

I've never seen over 215 on my LAP.

 

227 is where the fan goes to high speed on this car.
