I was just out driving and all of a sudden the check engine light came on. Next thing I know, it would'nt go anymore.

 

you can crush that RX and get a replacement in like what about 1 Hour or so and bolt thoes wheels on so she wont know... {Smile}


Wow that is a fride RX sad to see it go...

bring it over... we can do something. i think i have some house paint left over..... some 1st gen seats and dash.

 

Was that on the side of I-5 today? I saw a seven on the side of the freeway on my way back to Portland around noon.

 

I think the idiot light was a bit tardy....
i can sell you a nice maroon interior for cheap!

 

The car only had 94k miles on it too.

I picked it up today from a guy in Portland. This was'nt the car along side I-5. I'm going to pull the motor, and maybe keep it for a future project. I'm going to sell the wheels and tires, tail lights, and tranny, radiator, drive line, etc. I might start in on the project tomorow.

I won't feel bad, cutting the wiring harness at the firewall. Looks like the car just had new tires put on it too! CJ

Little better shot of the Konigs on it.

Whats also funny, is that the cars steering lock and parking brake still work.

 

I saw this car on craigslist, just too much work for me :-\. Good luck!

 

how did it fried?

 

The previous owner said it started behind the stereo.....then quickly spread, before his buddy could get a extingisher. CJ

 

A little bondo, and she will buff right out.!

 

If anyone is looking for something off the car, let me know. The exhaust, driveline, transmition, tail lights (cheap), possiably motor, radiator, the wheels and tires (225/50/16s with two tires at 85-90%, and two at around 60%, I'm guessing), etc. will be for sale. When they are pulled off the car, I'll make a post about it. But feel free to PM me in advance.

The left tail light is in good condition, but the right has a cracked lens. I'm wondering if it would be possiable to heat up the entire unit (In a oven), pull of the lens and replace it. (Is the S4 the same exact shape as a S5? If it where, it would be a cheap fix then.) I know the 3rd gen guys do this to make the 93-95 tails look like a newer JDM model, with some creative work. CJ

 

lets combine forces !!! i got a shell that the engine burned down, and u have an engine with a burned down shell!!! hahaha

 

A little Armor All and she'll never notice the difference!

 

Hey Richard, I was going to also suggest a little sandpaper and a bottle of touch up paint to add to your suggestion. What do you think?

Spent half of the day removing parts from her. Pulled the exhaust off, tail lights, rear bumper, all the marker lights, flash to pass lens, prepped the motor for pulling (Its just sitting in the bay) head light assemblys. I probably have 30 more minutes, and the motor and tranny will be out. Still need to pull the windsheild wiper motor, fuel pump, and some other odds and ends. Hope to have it stripped by tomorow. Then off to the scrapper for the shell. CJ

 

You know Chuck, I was going to mention that in my orginal post but after reviewing the pics again it just didn't look "that bad" !

 

CALL ROB OR CHECK YOUR E-MAIL FOR MY NUMBER IF STILL HAVE MOTOR

 

E-mailed back. CJ

 

SO you are saying our stereos catch fire too? good god....... hope it was just an after market set up with bad wiring! Now ill have to keep my eyes wired open...

 

No, no no....

I'm guessing it was a cheasey install that made it catch fire.

As of right now, I have a guy coming out to pickup the exhaust tomorow, anouther guy picking up some odds and ends, and someone else checking the motor out. Wheels and tires might be gone too....

CJ

 

i need a driver side flash to pass lens. would you sell it?

 

Sorry, I don't ship. I only have a couple odds and ends left anyways. CJ
