Civic sold, got a new ride! - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Well I finally sold the Civic, it was no fun nemore. So today I picked up a '97 Ford Probe GTS. It has a KLZE engine swap, Ford Racing Headers, 2.75" exhaust pipe, racing cat, flowmaster muffler, Vitek wires, hot shot cold air intake, door poppers, shaved door handle access, redone interior, 18's, cross drilled rotors, shaved emblems and a few accessories. It has in no audio system, since the guy took it out. The bad about the car is it has a oil leak somewhere and 3rd gear is jumping out sometimes.
EDIT-NEW PICS

Red Shift Boot gone now, pedals next

Re-did the calipers

Gotta have the short aluminum antenna

Re-painted the mirrors

Those red bumper lights are coming out 2day

Hopefully I get the money by next week to retint it so all the tint decals can be removed. Also I'm gonna do the GM HEI mod. My ignition module crapped out as they usually do on these car and I just soldered back the loose connection as a temp solution. I Also found out the guy had an eBay "White Lightnin Performance Module" LMAO I cut that shit off.

I swear you get a car every 3-4 months.

I say take the dragon, and that "racing" stripe off and you will be golden. Maybe diff. wheels if you plan on keeping it.

***prnc_chrmng*** · 10-23-2007, 08:36 PM

Lose the dragon and the Transformer ASAP!!!!!!! I kinda like the stripes for some reason

My friend had one of those back in Jamaica... When you open the bonnet it says big and bold MAZDA V6... It was like the only one on the entire island and it looked better than all the ones ive seen up here and all it really had was a really good drop....

Not too bad man. I saw Blue probe with the same tails a few days back.

EchoHoLiK · 10-24-2007, 02:44 AM

Damn...why are you always attracted to riced cars?

dna59 · 10-24-2007, 07:23 AM

I really don't see what's rice besides the stickers, but I guess to each his own. The car came w/ racing stripes because it is a GTS, which came with racing stripes from the factory and this one doesn't have the 24V DOHC one the back in the stripes because the car was painted over.

why does it have door poppers with door handles? im so confused!

I think it has potential man but Im sure youre just going to resell it anyway

dna59 · 10-24-2007, 08:18 AM

The guy said when he took the car he told them to shave everything, door handle, door handle access and the keyhole; but they only did the door handle access. The handles are useless cuz you can't pull them since the access has been filled in.

Haha dysk8, I think I might actually keep this car since it's something I actually wanted and wasn't stuck w/buying. I think it does have potenitial, the previous owner already has done a of decent amount work on both the show and go aspect, well minus the stickers dat suck. he seemed to have had a thing for dragons, cuz there were dragon stickers all over the inside and dragon pedals and shifter. lol I must say the exhaust sounds amazing. Nothing like my fart cans of the past, lol.

Can you even get in the car?

But hey best of luck to your Probe, and glad to hear you're de-ricing the graphics LOL

Those cars are the most fun I've had in anything with FWD, a friend of mine had an MX6 LS a while back (same car as the Probe GT with a little nicer interior) and it drove very well.

Nice PGT you have there!
