ok, theres a lil damage...figure about 600 in dents, the trim piece is about 30 bux (got both brand new this year) and you can find the S5 tail for about 125...write rx74unme@webtv.net he sold me one S5 tail that was damaged on the OTHER side meaning he should still have the drivers available as he was a lil hesitant to break the set. mine came in PERFECT shape, even the threads were still bronze and the seal looked brand new, was probably never removed before. so figure to pay check for the light, cash for the trim and credit card for the dents haha either way it sounds like some minor exterior stuff is all thats needed for a really clean and reliable FC...good grab!! If I were in your shoes, I'd say a full exhaust, springs/struts and tires should be your only mods...still ultra-reliable with a good bit of power, and the infamous FC handling!!

well, i'd like to get a full exhaust, but i really like how quiet this car is. i really wouldnt want a full exhaust unless its a racingbeat and those are like 600 bucks arent they.
how much would i dyno at the wheels with a full RB exhaust and intake with this car? (i'm just starting to get used to this NA stuff)

See guys I tried selling this car for 7-8 months and nobody wanted it. I guess people didnt believe me when I said it was in good shape and worth it. Car looks good jacob. Im glad somebody that love these cars is getting some use out of it. It was just sitting in my garage all lonely for months at a time.

well.. believe it or not i plan to leave it stock (or close to it)

my plan is to use this as my dependable daily driver car and buy a turboII or a nice S5 shell this summer and put a 13bt drivetrain in it.

so i think the only thing i'd do to my nice 91 GXL is get racing beat full exhaust and an intake... i just really like that its quiet and smooth. (exactly the opposite of my turboII)
