Default She is gone for good :(

after 2 years of haveing my sc and 2 years worth of rebuilding i decided it was best to go our own ways just for now. even tho i miss her so much but she has a new owner now. But ill be back soon.

But i just lucked out on a turbo 94 eagle talon with 121xxx miles on it for 2195 from a dealer ship.

final pics of the sc.

I dont blame you.. You can find SC's just about everywhere, but Cali and Florida being the top pick.. You have your prorities in the right direction... They make cars everyday.

no pics yet rite now its in a desperate need of a paint job it has birth marks on the hood and i need a turbo timer because the shop drove the car and let the oil sit in the turbo so it was pretty smokey when i drove it. i will have pics really soon.

my mom step dad and gf was a lil happy to see the lex go because i gave it so much tlc and i was always broke lol

probably because it sounds like its gonna need alot of work just like the sc did...^^^ sounds like they were happy u let the thing go because it was a junk car... only to get traded for something that also sounds like a junk car.

the talon is in good shape whoever owned it before me kept it clean just the car just needs a paint job the sun got through the clear coat. but the car runs smooth. the SC had 248xxx miles on her but still running strong. they were happy to see me get rid of it only because i gave the car more attention than anything else. but the talon on the other hand is a new project ready to be built.

never will i let a dealership take the lex so she can sit till someone buys it. i sold it to a guy that will have a project car already started.

Fail/ lol. Sorry i just traded my 99 eclipse gsx for a sc 300.

That thing is full of problems and you will soon see. As far as the turbo throwing all that smoke sounds like you need to do some oil changes asap. Compression test, leak down, Boost leak test. 4g63 is a handsome motor with proper care. If it's all stock i would swap the 14b for a new or used 16g. Good luck with it, Every dsm has oil leak problems


Quick Reply: She is gone for good :(
