People!!!
Stop trying to get lance to give you his car for peanuts or BS trades. He is not selling the damn car. I will make sure it gets fixed, and I won't let him get ripped off. This is rediculous that so many vultures have swooped in. If I was in oshawa, this thing would be fixed. Help the guy out, don't try to take advantage of his lack of knowledge and situation.
Yes he wants a running car, but he doesn't want to trade for cars worth 1/2 what his is worth.
Remember, everything you send him gets filtered through me because he is smart enough to know that he doesn't know...

Peanuts would be saying " I'll give you a grand "
You should check your prices on 96 Integras before you write such a dumb ass statement like that. Closest one to mine would be in the 7G's range. Especially considering that he picked it up for $3500??? Do your math.
Lance, even if you WERE considering the offer, it's OFF THE TABLE on either of them.
Judging from the noise,I think there is metal floating around in the engine/Crankwalked
If he's lucky, it will just be another botched clutch/tranny job by someone with little experience.
Vulture?? I could have given him a running car by tomorrow. sh!t I would have even lent it to him (after talks)if he needed it since its sitting pretty on my driveway doing nothing. From what we are hearing, your boy is a little tight on cash too. We've all been there at some point and time. No cash + DSM = Oversized paperweight
You have just shunned people in the area that were willing to help and actually know DSM's.
Enjoy your soap opera.

I can't beleive what I just read either....vultures How are we trying to rip him off??? When those offers were made, I clearly said in a worst case scenario, meaning if the motor is gone that he'd have that option. He told me how displeased his wife has been with the car(that u chose for him btw), and more importantly the fact that his berreta was unsafe to transport his kids to school. Maybe thats the reason he had a FOR SALE sign on his car when we got there FYI. He told me that he needs somethings thats mechanically sound and safe for his kids. Half the price??? We were told what was paid for it, when it was running. Have you seen the condition of the 92 Talon that was offered? Mint body, aftermarket rims, aftermarket turbo, and most importantly safe & mechanically sound. Your friend trusted you to pick out a good car for him, well its been more than 2 months without him really driving it....good choice! Now Mike I don't even know you, you asked me if I could go out there and see if I could give him a hand. I don't know either of you guys, yet I still take the time out of my schedule to go see if I can tell whats wrong, and your trying to make me look like the bad guy
TPG+Meth You can't tune out mechanical problems!!!

You guys are not the only ones to make an offer. So don't feel singled out.
How fishy is that really tho? You go to help the guy fix his car, tell him it's uber screwed, then try to get the car off him. Considering the fact that you know he doesn't know what to do...
I saw an offer for a 92 FWD talon, that's all from you. I figured you guys would help him get it running not help him get out of it.
Yes, I told him the car was a deal. There were no engine problems while I looked at it.
Maybe vultures was a bad term, but alot of people swooped in to try to pick it up quick.

Well, I took the Transfer Case down, unbolted the carrier bearing and moved the exhaust pipe to get the oil pan down. I dropped 1 bolt and I heard it go 'tink-tink' as it fell. It stopped existing after that. So the oil was clean, no shavings or junk in it. I could not move the rods etc., but I was not able to understand all the instructions completely (I'm a visual thinker) so I have stopped for the day. Mike will come by tomorrow morning and we can look again. I posted a video on YouTube to show how things look now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DiOK93cT8s

Is it just me, or does lance sound like Ricky from trailer park boys? I couldn't get the bearings for this weekend anyways, but i'll come anyways. Next thing to check is the timing belt tensioner, since Kevin said the belt was loose.

I went and looked at this car (edit: @ A.Tans place), and it was in rough shape, anyone who thought they were going to drive away with minor repairs was mistaken. There was loose/missing/stripped hardware for major components, engine oil leaks from 4 different locations, rear diff and X-case where both leaking I think, the original exhaust was on its last leg, boost leaks everywhere, and the inner fender on the driver side was badly rotton, this is concidered structural and would not pass a safty inspection around here anyway, nor would you want it to, and the car has been in a accident as the dr door, fender, and frt bumper has a different "cherry" paint scheme if I remember right. The best thing this car had going was the perfect compression test on a 7-bolt, so I walked away for what he was asking after ripping it apart.
Just sheding some light on this car, I didn't read this entire post, but I was all over this car and this was the conclusion I came to after an hour of looking at it IMO.
sorry for your luck.

Malcolm... I saw all of those things, except the oil leaks. All of those things are fixed, but the rot on the strut tower, which i'll weld up in the spring.
The car will be in good runninng order tomorrow. BTW the engine is fine. It's missing a balance shaft tho lol. There is no sign of crankwalk, and the bearings are fine.
Thanks anyways for people's help.

It IS good that it worked out. Sounded like it was pretty close to the point of cutting your losses and running.
You'd have killed me when you saw what I sold my 1G for, Mike. $5k back in '01, and it came with around $3.5k of new suspension, wheels and tires, to name just a few... And the car had just gotten the new motor rebuild I'd given it, with just one cylinder running a few pounds low. Didn't have the time, money or space to mess with it, so I dropped it for a loss. It happens.

Wow guys that were a real fight I guess. I hate to see members are jumping on each other. Nest time try to talk gently. Trust me guys, the way you type on the internet is not the way you actually talk, so you just think that the person is attacking you, which he is not. BE PATIENT PLEASE GENS.
