Here's a link to the pics.. the grey is a "soft leather" reupholstery. Excellent shape except for the passenger side which has a "scuff" on it.

Default I Like

I like the car, mostly cosmetic needs. It would be a good bit of work to bring up to the level of your other one. I know what you mean though I love these cars too. I am fighting not buying one down the road that is a Turbo with an overheating problem. That top hose looks suspicious. Looks like it blew. That was a lot of pressure in that hose.

Yes, although, I cant for the life of me think of what would back the pressure up so high that it would rip the hose apart. The rad cap is too light for that kind of pressure.

Unfortunately, the "magic" answer wont happen right away. I have a mechanic friend that I will have to call and see if I can get him to peek at it.

Okay, so I look closer and try new things (still havent done the engine codes cause my father in law has my computer for that.. hehe. Is the 90 OBD1 or 2?)

Anyway, I started the car with the rad cap off. Coolant is in it, but not to the top of the rad. Immediately saw smoke coming out of the rad (I belieive it was exhaust). I think that pretty well signs me up for the BHG course.

I can buy a JDM 7MGTE for about 600-700 bucks with approx. 80k on it (turbo included) that has been leakdown tested, etc, or I can pull the engine apart and hope its just a simple gasket replacement.

Is it cheaper to do the swap? (I would do the labor myself with my 3 boys to teach em how to do it.. or how to screw it up depending.. lol)

Default Codes

You don't need a tester our cars display codes from the computer, all you need is a jumper wire or paperclip. Go here and read the instructions.

Actually, it isn't either one... it's not even a CAN system. The only computer made for it was nothing more than an over glorified pulse counter and an oscilloscope.
