Rpms

So i went and looked at a 95 Gsx today and it was pretty nice as near as i could tell, knowing very little about eclipses. But i know the Idle was really low, like 200 rpms (not 2000, 200) So my ? is, where abouts should it be? and would it be fairly easy to fix?

Thanx

I think like 750 +/- 10

Might be a tach problem as well, because at 200 it would stall. Maybe have someone who has a DSM go with you and take a listen to it and see where they think the RPM are really at.

My timming gun has a tach on it .

hmm well i know it was really low, cuz when i backed it up it died when i let off the gas, and could hear that it was low. I didnt get to drive it cuz the dealer was closing for the night, but i definetly know it was idling low.

any one that would be willing to come look at it with me thatd be great, then you could tell me what you think its worth too

[Goat Blower]

Don't buy it. That sounds like something that will come through the auction in a few weeks.

is it silver?

YUP! Why?

[SquackDiddy]

im kind of interested in that car too :bounce:

Yeah thats the one...sans the stupid flag!

What are they asking for it?

i think its 8900 with financing. It seem a little high for some of the problems i could see just lookin at it for a few minutes.
It has holes in the hatch where there was an aftermarket wing of somekind, plus you can see the squares from the mounts. It was rather dirty inside. some paint scuffs and whatnot. the rpm problem, missin a switch for the power seat< and the stock radio dont work.(and that is a problem considering i dont have another to sitck in it) Hmm thats about all i think of at the moment. Here a link to the add on car soup http://www.carsoup.com/used/detail.asp?use...eID=1&dealerID=

hmm he must have lowered the price since yesterday its only 7900 now

hahahahahahahah damn near 9k for that. Shit! We are trying to sell Jana's 98 AT GSX for 9500 and there is no compatison between those 2 as for condition. I wouldn't pay more than 4-5k for that and that's only with a few minor problems. Or spends 2-3 on a nice 1G awd.

yeah i didnt figure it was worth that much, and i wish i wanted an auto, cuz id prolly come see you guys. But i definetly want a manual. yeah unless i could get the guy to come way down i doubt ill even consier it.

[AJ]

Don't be afraid to get an auto for a decent price as manual swaps are getting more and more common. Get the parts out of a yard cheap and it's not that hard to do.

its funny that you put that on here, I was just gonna ask how hard it is to o a manual swap on Janas thread about selling her car

What kinda stuff do you guys do at QPR? If i did get an auto and wanted to change it, is that something you guys could help me with?

[AJ]

By the time we could get to it who knows. You may also want to PM Mark (TKRperformance on here) as he has done it. There are a few locals with the swap. Do a few searches and you will find a ton of info on it.
