Old lift near end of life span, I would pass at $1500.  I would put that towards a new one or newer used one.

all it takes is two people. Was a nice car.

I wouldn't worry to much about breaking that diff.  Agreed a LSD would be better,best.

The older DSM cars are turbo with quite a few putting out 500 whp,with very little tuning you can get 

250-300 whp.  Something that a 2002 won't be doing. That Jack's article is a bit sky is falling since they want you to buy their transmission. That design has a very low failure rate caused by lots of whp.   For the average 02  guy I think you'll be fine.

Can't believe you guys missed this one on BAT. It sold (December) for $34k, so now dickybarb wants $47.9k; nice "flippin'" profit!

sure did

The shop I help out has made those before for DSM's Eclipse,Talon's.

My understanding they worked pretty well.  IIRC they where like $195.    

Hmmmmm

eBay Dec.17th says $6500. Reserve not met.

Got it,  thanks. I check Searchtempest everyday with my morning coffee

Chris ... 

there might be some misalignment of your expectations ...

 

'nice/great' versus 'roundie' versus 10K

 

there is a very similar thread going on in the 'wanted' section about the exact same ask ...

 

read that for perspective ...

 

i think it is the classic 'pick two' situation for 'nice' versus 'roundie' versus '10k'

 

that said ... we are here to help

 

i love this search:

it has everything from 1602s to 1802s to 2002s ... and all years ...

too bad ebay doesn't like booleans ... it would work there too

 

best of luck!

What does the 160* 180* 200* add to the search ? 

Vredestein has been around forever, has a very good rep. More of a touring tire.

Federal is made in Taiwan IIRC. Drifters love them,big with the JDM crowd.

Federal has had some  quality issues with tread separation in past. 

Their sticky they don't last long but their cheap.  

Would depend what your plans are driving wise.

I used aluminum anodized black on my E39. Been 3 years still look new.  

I like the look of metal,but rubber bends and metal can snap. 

Nice wheel

$16,500 unless 2 people want it.

 

Then, $20K.

 

Agreed, could easily go for 20k. Nice color 

I'm reading right ? They picked it up December 16th and taking over a month to deliver it to Chicago ?

So much info it will make your brain hurt 

The BAT auto has a few issues and owner has had it a month.  

Dealer did the body.

Nice car,that won't go for 5k. Would guess at least 15k,than a little BAT frenzy and maybe $$$$$

DOT 5 brake fluid has a boiling point of 500° .

I would doubt todays wheel manufacturers  would powder coat their rims from the factory if their was even a hint of any problems,because lawyers 

If your looking for a original look I would just paint them.

As far as powder coating  I've had great luck,my wheels are three years old and still look new.
