you could easily pick up a 2g around here for that much. if you wanted to upgrade

.

**Jordan** · 4-22-08, 23:54

You can get a 2g for $1500?

How do they perform compared to the 1g? I've fallen in love with the torque the 1g has and would miss it so much if the 2g didn't compare.

**cf_z** · 4-23-08, 12:55

idk. if you can find one you can prolly pull it for less than 2k.

i'll give you a ride in mine and see if it compares

**Jordan** · 4-23-08, 15:16

alright man, this weekend you can try and sway my likings to the 2g. What day is that show so I can maybe meet up with you?

that sucks man. but if the radiator didn't mess up and you can still run it i think it's worth fixing. same thing happened to me on the highway except it was an accord i hit. either way, including and awesome new paint job (laguna blue pearl) and straightening of the front and a new hood (which is why i painted it) and fixing my manifold cause a screw broke i spent a total of 1200 dollars fixing it. i'm happy with it. no one with a 1988 mx-6 has my color. i love it.

if you were near here I have a gold 1g about to go to the scrap yard with a good hood, rad support and grill.

That sounds sweet! Post a picture of your 6. I'd love to see what it looks like in that color.

Today, we bought a brand new oem hood. $140 I think is what it came to. They claimed it was the last one on this side of the US or something haha. I think almost everything else is salvageable though. Probably going to start tearing it apart this weekend. Most likely will be making a project thread on it, if anyone cares that is.

**cf_z** · 4-23-08, 19:06

idk when i'll be out there. maybe friday. maybe saturday. its really just whenever im not with the girl or doing anything else haha.

**Jordan** · 4-24-08, 15:20

So I just figured out everything with insurance for how much money I'm going to get. After deductibles, and salvage costs, they're dishing me a check for around 2grand. I have no clue how it happened, but my dad said he talked them way up on it. It has a new clutch, gas tank, cv joints, and a couple other things.

I'm very happy. This opens up a brand new door for cars I can look at as replacements and stuff.

So are you gonna fix it or get something else? Didn't you just buy a new hood?

**Jordan** · 4-24-08, 19:12

We just bought a new hood, yes. But we were told that we can return it as long as its not painted and has the original packaging. I think at this point, if I can find a GT somewhere within 300 miles of here I would buy that, but a rebuild is what seems to be most likely right now. I wouldn't feel right buying a new 6 without takin it for a test drive and thoroughly inspecting it on my own.

I was looking at celicas and 240s but something didn't seem right. I love my 6 so much haha.

i hadn't thought of putting pictures of it by it sounds like a plan. also, i am on the process of buying this guys red mx-6 just like mine. i'm thinking of restoring it since it's only going to cost me 200 off of the guy. as soon as i get it i will take pictures of them back to back.
