    my 88 LXI coupe!!

    Well i won it off ebay, im sure most of yall seen it on ebay. Nashville pick up only. I went yesterday to pick her up. I threw in a battery and she started right up. I drove her on a 1hr and 30 min trip! she ran GREAT! I got her up to 110mph coming home testing her out. BIG difference in carb and EFI. I took the car seat covers off and the seats and MINT condition. There are a few things wrong. The fenders need replaced, Cluster lights dont light up, and needs a radio harness. $225 and I got a free RedTop Optima battery in the trunk! muahahaha. Her she is...what do ya think? Also, I got a JDM foglight switch on the way i won off ebay. Did anyone else bid on it from here? If so, sorry Ill show pics of it in my new LXI coupe i got for $225! lol

    Woah. Cool car. Needs paint and body pretty bad, but at least it's straight and fairly rust free.

    Well, for the price you can't beat that.

    It needs work but the car in general seems to be in good condition.

    It mostly needs a good wash.

    Did you run over the oil level and coolant level... you don't want to drive the car without the proper fluids... or clean fluids for too long.

    Nice find man. Any car that runs good and only costs $225 is a good buy in my book.

    How did you like driving without a right-side mirror. And thats a freaking huge brake pedal!

    Re: my 88 LXI coupe!!

    Yeh I thought maybe a 4door LX mirror would work....nope. I was looking around it today and I reliezed it had 2 brand new rear tires and brand new spare tire and 4way in the trunk. Also some nice speakers in the door. Im still happy but still havent fixed the cluster not lighting up. its actually the whole dash lights that arnt lighting up. I was going to replace the dimmer switch but i forgot to, anyone know what all those plugs are behind the pass door panel. I know 1 is for power windows, but two others i dont know. they come out of the same place, and im not talking about the power window switch, seat belt and light. Any ideas?

    Car looks like it's seen better days. Can't beat that price though.

    Take good care of it. With all those miles on the clock it won't last too long if you don't and you run the shit out of it.

    I love the color. That's an awesome find, bro. you're gonna loooove it. But you probably already knew that.

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM
