Sounds like a reasonable price. But here's the bad news.</P>


Depending on where you live, and your driving record, the insurance companies are going to have their way with you. You will doubtless pay more than that per year for insurance. </P>


You have lots of ideas, but when you are starting with a basic model like that, you are better off to love it for what it is, rather than spend a small fortune trying to make it into what it was never designed to be.</P>


With this first Stealth, learn the maintenance routines, basic repairs, and simple modifications. Don't dump a ton of money into it; you will not get it back out of the car. Spend the money necessary to keep it in top running condition, use it to learn the finer points of installing a stereo system, tuning, diagnostics, detailing, brake work, changing spark plugs (hah!) and so on.</P>


For what you will be making, you are better off to have something that won't be in your pocket as much as a TT will. Once you are out of school, then sell your first Stealth, and use that money towards the TT of your dreams. Don't get all happy to see the JC Whitney catalog, and don't spend your entire McD's check in the Pep Boys accessory aisle. If you have cash to spare, after insurance, maintenance, gas, etc., put it in the bank and *save it* until the day you are able to buy the TT. You will need it. Your Stealth will run *just fine* without those stickers, or new shft ****, or whatever.</P>


Five years from now, when your TT needs a new starter, you will be sooo glad you put that $44.18, that $29.99, that $16.81, and the $50.00 of birthday moneyin the bank that long ago day, rather than splurging on tacky ricer-roni that does nothing more than say...."I'm a BOY RACER! Yipppeeeeee!"</P>


I started out with a '92 Stealth R/T, because I could afford that, and also because I wanted to see if I could live with that kind of car. I did not modify it in any way (although I did repaint it, same color, electric blue,once the factory paint job got too many stone chips). But I took good care of it, and learned the ups and downs of the cars. When I sold it, I cried, but it went to a good home. </P>


Now I have a '93 TT, and I will tell you this: It ain't the same beast.Unless you live near a reliable, experienced shop that does not fear all things 3/S, you will play HELL getting anything fixed beyond the basics. The maintenance schedule is tighter, insurance is much higher, the tires cost more (and for some reason, wear out quicker!) it is less forgiving, and on and on and on. But then, when I get behind the wheel...<IMG src=smileys/smiley16.gif border="0"></P>


So here's the good news: You can buy your Stealth, and enjoy all but the "other" 80hp, save money on insurance and maintenance, and best of all, learn to appreciate the cars, instead of swearing them off as fussy, demanding beasts, which is what may happen if you start off with a TT. Once you've got a "real" job, you can decide if you truly want to make the jump to a TT, and do so without it becoming a burden to you.</P>

Sometimes you can come across unbelieveable deals. A guy I know got a TT Stealth with a rebuilt motor that looks new for only $4,000. <img border="0" src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0"> I wish I could have came across that deal. <img border="0" src=smileys/smiley19.gif border="0">

 

I put the heads off of a stealth on my 92' shadow...does that count?
ps. It blew up.
However, im trying to get another engine for it, so i can dump all mods all at once. Lots of $$$$.$$ I beat my cars too hard to slowly add mods, They all blow up!!!! This one WILL NOT explode!I expect to spend no less than $5000 no more than $10,000 in Canadian cash.
It will be a hybrid Stealth/Shadow. I have yet to find a name to call the beast.

 

Our jeep saw a bad case of that one time. The highest our temp gauge goes to it 240 which is around 4 o'clock when looking at a clock and within a mile the needle was pointing straight down towards six []. we got back to the camper and opened the hood and noticed the fuse holder had melted and the fuse was no good. so we had to spice the wires together so the fans would kick in and cool it down... good thing it this happened the last day we were going to run it for the season and nothing to bad happened to the engine.

 

I had that same problem, being the car overheated, and it turned out to be a couple dollar hose had a hole in it. So that could be your problem.

 

Okay first of all just because you can afford a stealth from the lot, you need to check your insurance. Because i know there is very few that will insure a that car let alone a young driver. But hey if you can and do buy one more power to you [sm=smiley36.gif]. And i dont know too many places that sell a turbocharger for a stealth, I havent come by any. But you would do better with buying a RT/TT.

 

nah the mitsu 3000gt looks better then a stealth
