Car looks really good! Body looks good, interior appears to be very clean and the wheels actually look pretty decent painted black. Congrats! Aside from the PS issue are you able to drive it? What'd you pay for it??

Welcome to the forum bro. No really, V is a real brother :buttrock

Those of you who have given so much praise and compliments to my car, well, you can also thank V for the car's looks. I certainly do!

Anporrtsank kshes aperooo :)

[gjVah]

Thanks dgz32. After the cooling system replacement it drives fine, apart from the power steering issues. It's a monster!!!! I haven't tried anything funny yet (since the radiator is new and etc.) but it runs relatively well. Just some minor vibrations on very low RPMs, I'm still trying to figure out why.. She cost me $5,500 so far and having in mind the CRAFAX is spotless I'm pretty happy with my purchase.

HEYYY I though I'd see you here :).. Thanks bro. You're coming later on tonight to see her right?

If I don't fall asleep :shifty hahaha. Na, I won't. For sure.

[dgz32]

$5500, noice! That def gives you room to get it back to spec mechanically. I paid much more than you for my '98 this time last year and have done all that and more to mine, sans the PS pump.

Enjoy. And welcome!

There is a formally named section of Hollywood called Little Armenia, even though there is a larger population of Armenians in Glendale.

Thanks :) Your car looks good bro.. Btw, since you have the same car let me ask you something.. I'm about to take mine for a full tune-up.. (check everything and fix what needs fixing basically).. do you have any idea what it will cost me? I know it depends on the car, but a rough estimate to keep in mind will be appreciated :)
BTW I just a friend of mine that does body damage repair come and inspect the bodywork to see if any part of the car has been repainted... Good news! He checked thoroughly and according to him no part of the car has ever been resprayed which confirms my CARFAX report :)

Nice color combo. Black on black is my favorite. Best of luck

[jamesdc4]

gjVah,

Welcome to Bfc!

[gjVah]

Thanks Blatant, the two primary reasons I got this car are the color combo and the fact that it's manual.. From where I come from (EU) a sports car HAS to be manual.. :)


gjVah,

Welcome to Bfc!
Thanks James, nice to see how friendly and helpful people here can be. Thanks bro.

[loveless4577]

Very nice ride. Welcome.

[gjVah]

Very nice ride. Welcome.
Thank you :) Glad to be here :alright

I just had my oil changed, with Castrol Synthetic, new brake pads and my front rotors "shaved" or whatever the term is.. Pics below..
P.S. I know I should have gotten new rotors but I'm sort of short on cash at the moment, and this will have to do until I get everything else fixed and get a set of brembo's.
