Asking 27500, 43k miles.

Good luck on the swap..... can't believe their turn around time on the subframe is 3.5 months that is ridiculous!

I saw him. He looked like he was makin some good progress on your motor Dinnacoat. Had the motor torn apart n stuff. Not sure where he was like if he was assembling or what, but the parts looked clean so I guess hes getting ready to reassemble or something.

Alright guys I have an issue. Should I keep my A/C or not o.O
Also should I keep my power steering or not? Anyone want to let me drive their non power steering car =P The A/C is probably going to go seeing as I didn't even use it during the summer and I'd rather open a window.

Yeah if you don't use the AC may as well get rid of it.

For the PS though I dunno. I "think" my FB as manual steering and parking were lots were still kind of annoying even with how small/light that thing was.

Thats cool, just if he's inside of it though I was hoping he'd call so he could let me know what the issue turned out to be though he may still be determining that ...

I don't have p/s or a/c and am in Modesto. Honestly, it's not that bad as long as you have the tires aired up correctly, but i've been driving it that way for years so I bet i'm used to it by now. Anyways, hit me up if you want to see the difference.

p.s. If they work i'd keep them in unless you have some plans for the car. The p/s i can live without, but it'd be nice to have a/c in the summer.

I don't think I can do it, just something about the GXL that makes me want to keep it luxury sport. I think I am just going to fix the A/C (or recharge) and restore it. Then buy a junker 7 and strip it down and make it my project car. This ones just too nice to mess with you know.

I know exactly the feeling. Now don't ever question yourself again and make sure everything else works and stays working.

Sounds good to me. The a/c and p/s never worked in my car so during the motor swap I just left them out and have a very sparse engine bay now. I don't really miss having p/s, but a/c would be great for the summer.

You talking about the rain or the cold *** nights? I'm loving both, just not at the same time. My car screams when it's 30 degrees out ...but I still can't get this stupid turbo to hold 15+ psi to 7500rpms ;[
