Ok, my earlier post I asked some info on shipping companys. Well I decided to do the fly in drive home route. I did this in exact drive (Yorba Linda to Denver) last year in my current car, and I am hoping my luck has not run out. This car is a 2.7 conversion though, and all sounds great according to the seller. Heres a link to what I bought, and yes the stripe is soon to be history (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
http://adcache.collectorcartraderonline.co.../8/42957288.htm So, other than learning how to correctly check oil level on a six, what words of wisdom do J.P. and other 2.7 guys have for me? Car checked out good, recent rebuild ect. But if it were you what tools, should I go to FLAPS and buy before I leave the state? I do have AAA and a cell phone (two very important tools). The worst that happened last year in the 2.0 car was shift coupler bushings that turned to dust ON TOP OF VAIL PASS! I managed to find 3rd, cut up rubber hose found on the side of the road, and stuff it in the T and Duct tape it. Got me home. Thanks and wish me luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) And if anyone's close by on my way to vegas I would not be against swinging in to say hi |

I would think you already a had a PPI done in Carlsbad, where the car is located? If not I would do that before you get there, may help expose any problems. Also make sure the seller included the spare and jack and since it is five lug car, I would check that the lug nuts screw on and get enough of the threads. I looked at a five lug car 911 suspension, the lug nuts were very dangerously close to falling off even though they were on tight.
Have fun and get to know your new car. CCLinLOO |
