I think I found it...

talk to eric schafer or matt faul there your best source of info

[Jim]

$550 is to much, your going to have a lot invested to fix all that shit, and i guarentee there is more wrong.

-Paint is ugly grey with greenpinstripes and a red trunk

Do you honestly want to be sporting this around.

-Key is stuck in the ignition

This will need to be replaced, its not cheap either.

-5th gear is completely gone (How does 5th go before low gears?)

You need a new tranny, looking to replace it you're looking at 500-700

-The clutch is toast... the travel is probably around an inch

You're going to need to pull the tranny and replace the clutch, if you can't do it yourself, its going to cost as much as the car.

-Driver's Seat is torn up
-Silver painted air vents and symbols on steering wheel filled in with a silver paint marker.

-Radiator is damaged if not cracked. The owner says it's taking on average 2 gallons a day.

Your looking at a blown headgasket, the head could be wreaked, possibley replacing the entire motor.

-Outside door locks are messed up.

unless you have about 2500 bucks laying around JUST to get it working and running like its new..id pass. 3k for 1990 turbo probe that is still going to be misc colors sounds more like a punishment then a blessing.

I bought a 1g dsm awd for $500.00. And mechanically it needed a tranny and lifters. That was a better deal. And I sold it.

were the fuck are these cars when im looking for a car those prices are nice

[PSiedTSi]

look harder...i wish i woulda known about that gvr4 sooner

[weshole]

Oh the deals are out there, ya just gotta look. I can find em just never when I have $$$ usually.

[mym6]

Agreed, not a good car at all to start with. If the tranny is that messed up and the head gasket is screwed you can bet the engine and everything attached to it is nearly shot as well. Basically you've got a shell for 500 and then you have to source another car for the remaining parts. Sounds like a lot of hassle.

[NickB]

he bought it

[Tad218]

i guess our advice was worthless

[NickB]

haha, he called me right after he got it...

[Guest]

how was the engine?

[NickB]

lol he thinks hes gonna run 12's...damn benchracers

[weshole]

There was just one sold here for $300 that needed an ecu and that's it. He payed WAAAAAYYYYY TOOOOO MUUCCHH!!

[Jim]

haha... well, I guess we'll see how much he spends on it. 12's? With what money

[PSiedTSi]

is the stock motor the same as the mx6 or is it a dohc?

dont most people that are fast with probes have dohcs?

[mym6]

According to what I'm reading, the DOHC you're talking about was the 3.0L V6 OHV 12V FI Engine. The other engine was a 2.2L I4 SOHC 12V FI Engine in both N/A and turbo form. There were no major driveline changes until 93.

[PSiedTSi]

look at matt fauls(sp?) car i believe his is a dohc

[shiftycapone]

matt fauls was an fe3 which is a 2.0l 16v DOHC engine that is found in euro and japanese spec mx6, 626, and capplea cars
eric schafer has the sohc 2.2 12v engine which is stock in 90-92gt's
and mx6 and probes are going to be identical for the 1st and second gens which is the 89-97's

the 3.0 is the vulcan probe that's pin's territory
