rebuilt engine and turbos...reliable?
hey-
i'm thinking about buying this 1990 twin turbo with 180k miles on the body. its been babied like hell and has had all the services done to it.....no accidents and a clear carfax report...but, the engine and tranny and turbos were rebuilt about 10kmiles ago...when something is rebuilt...is it basically as good as new? to an extent? what should i look out for? i'm going to change out the suspension, and the rotors were changed too....what should i ask him about? like problems he's had..like coolent system? hoses? stuff like that?

ask for receipts from the shop where he had the work done. Look for the techs name and go ask his opinion of the car and its working state. No receipts=No sale. He could be tellin stories to get you to buy. 180k on a turbo is a bit excessive and if he's held on to it this long, sounds like he's only willing to part with it if something major is wrong. Don't get too overeager.

10k since complete rebuild and 180k chassis...
Rebuilds CAN be very good but Never like new.
(Lots of factors are envolved...)
But You should take it to a trusted mechanic and have
the car inspected on a hoist.
How much is he asking?
And do you personally know the seller?

Yea seriously
, Be cautious of who you trust. I have people that wont buy from me because they say a Skyline for 25 g is too good to be true, so they think I am full of ****. So be sure you are not OVER cautious to the point of you lose your dream car over a hunch. But do be careful, and not foolish. And Rizz.... HAHA, thats great.

I wasnt even talking ****. You obviously have no sense of humor. I wont even argue with you over an internet. You arent even worth my time. Read his post then my post and you'll understand what i mean. Dont be thinking you're all hard and **** online. I dont give a **** about what you said.
"Wow maybe some day you could give me some pointers on how to be a complete *** licking donkey dick sucker, it seems to make you VERY cool. "

Are you guys fighting over little ol' me!?! I'm so flattered and totally dismayed at the same time. Thanks for stickin up for me Nismo, I think. Don't stress over others cuz I don't. We're here to learn and share what we learn. Nismo, don't flame Zsiam. Just cuz he likes my *** doesn't mean its a bad thing, its just a homosexual thing. BTW I'm flattered once again but I don't swing that way. 
And no I won't do my Jim Carrey talking outta my *** impersonation for ya. I just don't think it would be appropriate anymore. This thread has turned a little for the worst I'm afraid.

Rizzspeed, for your info i dont like your ***. Maybe other guys do alright. Obviously it was just a matter of sense of humor. I see how you people take things so serious online. We are stressing out off our car so it was just a little humor. And thanks to mr. nizmo gotta be a captain to save them hoes.
haha...
haha...

So I have plenty of humor!) , sorry bout that again, no hard feelings. peace
