my new GSL-SE.. / Looking for lost rim.

I just picked up this GSL-SE for $300.
'runs & drives great,

I'm about to start fixing it up.
the stick on chrome's gotta go!



Does anyone know what car these gold wheels are from?
they're 14" enkei's with 33 offset.
I have 3 of them in good condition.
I'm looking for a 4th to complete the set.
anyone have one laying around? or know where to get one.

Thanks,

-Chris

Thanks, yeah at that price I couldn't pass it up.

The previous owner didn't know enough about it to fix the rapidly surging idle problem..
I handed him the cash,..then blocked off the BAC airlines with some misc crap I had in my pocket & drove it home.

Blocking the lines on the BAC off seemed to do the trick.
I'll probly take it off & clean it out, then see if it works right.
I did set the TPS also, just to be sure.

I'll post some before & after pics of the engine bay cleanup later on.

The stainless steel trim was a dealer option, iirc. When you get your 4th gold wheel, have the trim plated to match the rims, mud flaps too. lol.

In reality, plan on doing a bit of body work once the ss trim comes off.

300 bucks was a steal, now don't you feel guilty.

Yeah, he was yelling someting about Curse you friken Rotar Heads!, ..gimme back my car!!
& shaking his fists in the air.

Nah, not really..
I don't know, I just drove off..



I think the car was passed along for about $300,
through at least three people, who had no idea what to do with it,
before I got it.
