I am ready to part with this zippy little car. Its been parked for a
while and I cant find the time to get it back on the road so I am
needing to let it go and move onto other things.
It starts (sometimes immediately, sometimes after a bit of cranking) and runs great. 198,xxx on the motor. The transmission shifts smoothly through all gears. This car was actually fairly zippy when it was on the road. The rear end or something at the rear of the car is making a terrible sound again (I replaced the entire rear axle last summer) and I just cant get the time to look for parts for this thing anymore. The brakes are soft, Ive bled the system a few times now and replaced a leaking break cylinder, may just need a more thorough bleeding then I can do alone. Electrically, its kind of a mess. The gauges go back and forth from working to not, the temp gauge shoots right up as son as the thing starts. Heater core leaking, heater motor works but wiring is not functional. Someone before me hacked the thing and had it wired on a toggle switch, but this is no longer connected. Trunk is rotting, probably leaking around the gasket. Its the kind of thing that could be fixed in an after noon with some fiberglass mesh and marine grade liquid epoxy stuff. Add it to the list of things I never got around to. Body is pretty solid, some surface rust in spots (like the hood, and doors), nothing rotten through yet, undercarriage is almost like new. Front driver side fender is damaged, dented before I bought it. Whoever did it was able to hammer it back out, but its not perfect... The grill is falling apart from 30+ years of weather, I have an extra thats in better shape but needs some epoxy... NEW: battery, new front shocks, new tires (probably 5k on them) new tie rod (not sure which side anymore, have receipts) Comes with a BUNCH of extra parts : starter, 2 alternators (one bad, possibly repairable), injection pump, injectors, front and rear windshield, grill (which I was going to repair, but could easily be done and look way better then the one that's on there), a myriad of lights, light covers, 2 fuel doors (hinges busted), dash parts, incomplete instrument console (tach missing) While these things can be hard to find parts for, Ive seen these engines in a number of different vehicles (short bed isuzus, mazdas, etc), and this one would make a good transplant candidate, paired with the transmission. If you have a parts car, or can find a rear end for this car, you should be able to get many more years out of it. If nothing else, this car (and all its extra parts) could be parted out for probably double the buy it now price, I don't have time for that. Maybe you do?!? |

Porsche revives Pink Pig and Rothman's liveries for Le Mans
Tue, Jun 5 2018Long-time fans of Porsche, particularly its motorsports history, are in for a treat at this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans. The company took two of its 911 RSR race cars and gave each of them a famous color scheme from the past. The designs are part of the company's 70th anniversary celebration. The first and most unusual paint scheme is a modern rendition of the "Pink Pig." The design was used on a Porsche 917/20 in 1971. Just like the original, it's finished in a pale shade of pink with dotted lines marking out sections of the car. Each of these sections has a label for a different cut of meat from a pig. The other livery isn't as strange, but it's no less recognizable. It features a blue, red and gold color scheme of tobacco company Rothmans. Rothmans was a sponsor of many racing Porsches over the years, and the colors appeared on everything from Le Mans racers to the Paris-Dakar 959. This version on the 911 RSR notably lacks any tobacco branding or advertising. The two 911s with the retro colors will be competing alongside 8 additional 911s with more modern liveries. They will compete in the GTE classes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
Junkyard Gem: 1990 Geo Storm
Sun, Jun 25 2023General Motors began selling rebadged Isuzus in the United States all the way back in 1972, when the Isuzu Faster pickup showed up here as the Chevrolet LUV. A few years after Isuzu began selling vehicles in North America under its own branding, The General began selling Isuzu I-Marks as Chevrolet Spectrums; when the time came to create the Geo division to sell badge-engineered Suzukis, Toyotas and Isuzus here, the Chevy Spectrum became a Geo and a sport compact based on the Isuzu Piazza appeared in Geo dealerships as the Storm. Today's Junkyard Gem is a first-model-year example of the Storm, found with lots of miles and plenty of rust in a Denver-area car graveyard recently. Isuzu began selling this car as the second-generation Impulse for the 1991 model year. Few American car shoppers were interested in that car, but the Storm sold well. For the 1991 model year, a "Wagonback" version of the Storm was added to the lineup. The Storm was discontinued after 1993, and Geo itself got the axe in 1997. The 130-horsepower GSi version of the Storm was one of the best quickness-per-dollar deals of its era, but this car is the base Storm with just 95 SOHC horses under its hood. An automatic transmission was available, but this car has the standard five-speed manual. How much did it cost new? The list price was $10,390, or about $24,741 in 2023 dollars. This one got well past 200,000 miles during its career. The rust is nasty. This car might have been a runner at the end, but corrosion plus high miles, manual transmission and defunct brand all conspired to send it to this place. This content is hosted by a third party.

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.
