Driving in the rain! Nothing serious. On the way out it started to rain. NO visibility on the way home.

If your dumbass would have turned the heater on (clearly you don't have a/c) you could have cleared up your windshield.

I have a/c..it rules. I also clean the inside of my windows with rain-x :giggle:

That is pretty badass, looks clean enough to potentially be a 7K mile car.

that's what i was thinking, the interior was flawless and the brakes were rusted to hell so might have been sitting a while, it did fail emissions...

So Brain, left or right? :D

dude. i already told you.

When TDC the right mark aligns with TDC, the left mark aligns with 10°. Therefore, if running and 10° advanced, the left mark will be at 20° and the right mark at 10°

Thanks :D

Technically your 95 should only have one timing mark on the pulley...an easy way to determine exact which mark to use is: pulling the spark plug on #1, dropping in your dipstick and turning the crank until you reach top dead center, then look at the crank pulley and use the mark that aligns with TDC.

I saw an add in the local paper for a GNX for $70K. Looked exactly like that car.

When I was in college I went to look at a GN that was listed for $4k. Turned out to be a Regal with black paint, possibly a home spray job.

I forgot to add the listing, ha ha. I was asking what they are worth because it doesn't look like a $70K car. Actually, I meant to ask, because re-reading I see that I didn't ask in the first place.

only 547 were made, ever, and in only one production year, 1987. This one was number 22.

E-NA6CE 08-24-2010 10:39 AM

Really? Hmmm..... I still don't think they're worth $70K.
