Last month I picked up this 1995 SE-V6 4x4 5spd. Paided $450. Has 122xxx miles on it. So far I only put $80 into to run and drive. Runs great.

I will give you 1000 Kanuckistan dollars for it!! Nice score!!

Hi all! First off, I'm a Subaru guy slowly becoming more of a nissan guy. I've had 17 subarus over the past 15 years, but currently down to just 1, I've had a 280z for 12 years but just recently finally started working on it. I recently moved to Arizona from ND, originally from Alaska. After being here a few weeks I got a message from a friend who happened to be in Tucson and was helping another friend of his clear out his father's estate. I offered to lend a hand and my crappy mazda b2500 and we emptied a couple loads of stuff, with a few things left over for me to sell. When they were done and ready to leave town they asked if I wanted his vehicle, they didnt think it was worth the hassle of selling, so they left me his father's 99 LE pathy! I'm not sure if the father smoked in it, or these boys did enough damage to make it seem like he had since the day it was new.... but it was bad, really bad. Being inexperienced with cigarette smoke I gave it a good vacuuming and tried a couple "bombs" and then it just smelled like an old casino. I did some research and bought a nice little ozone machine locally used for 30$, ran it for 3 hours over the course of a few days, letting it air out after each for a few hours, and leaving the AC running one time to get the vents. It worked wonders. At first it had a residual ozone odor, and then it sat in that spot for a few months being baked in the arizona sun. I'd open it every once in a while and now it smelled like a freshly cleaned casino at least. I ran the ozone machine 1 more time, and it had the same effect. Christmas weekend we drove from Tucson to Jerome and Sedona, it had a faint odor at the start but over the course of the trip, with fast food, new febreze air fresheners in the vents and windows down alot of the time, it really isnt noticable, and I'm perfectly happy with the outcome. This process started back in August, this week i FINALLY got the title so it can be fully legal, and I'm super stoked for that. For my plans with it! It's currently going to replace my b2500 and my daily, and be our weekend adventure rig. I've already replaced the stock wheels with some 16x8.5 +6 level 8 trackers, with some 265/70 bfg long trail t/a. I picked up the wheel and tire set for 300$ so I'll ride out the rubber which is about 50%-40% tread on 3 of them, and like 90-80% on one, I'll keep that for a spare on a 16x8 +12 later probably. Future mods: Full coverage roof rack+ awning. Factory fender flares Air compressor + lockers. Custom bumpers f/r + rear spare swing out. Drivers side ladder to rack. Possible roof tent. Maybe a lift? It doesnt rub atm That's most of the plans and a whole wall of text for now. TLDR: 99 pathy for free, smelled like dead guy cigarettes and sadness. Smells better, works good. Current state of the Datsun Sold the silver/black subie before moving. Current state of the pathy Wheel poke with the 8.5 +6 What it looked like when I got it, sun damaged passenger fender. My current tool box setup if anyone cares ?

I was having intermittent hard 1-2, and on the freeway when I’d step off gas and then lightly get back on (not enough to downshift) it’s like it would 1/2 downshift for a second and then go back to o/d or 5th. Comparable to a shudder I guess. Both issues have cleared up immensely.

Dang, I like the color. You chose the right forum to post on, welcome to the club!

Welcome! I was running 2" of spacers when I first got my rig and broke a total of 3 CV axles before ditching them in favor of springs. Not a single problem since. Camber bolts will not correct CV axle angle with a spacer lift. We stress this because its all too often the spacer lift is seen as the first choice due to the initial cost. In the end its far more expensive to deal with a broken CV axle+spacers than the initial cost of a set of springs.

Just done my lift. Installed 2.5" spacers up front and landrover coils at the rear. Got a good 15" from the ground to my side steps. Overall pretty pleased with the way it turned out. I'll see how it handles the road. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

I was EXTREMELY bored, to the point where I was thinking about things I shouldn’t be, so I had to take action! There was a powerful storm band moving thru Georgia on its way to me that was dropping tornadoes, so I thought, “I know what I’ll do... I’ll hit the trail in the middle of this storm”. And so I timed the storms arrival to hit me when I was getting started on the trail, and it was a major success! It was worse than I imagined and the trail had been closed for some time and was overgrown. I did not record my getting on to the trail and the storm because it was literally too crazy for me to do anything but survive, and not get crushed by a falling tree! Last thing, I used to like getting high, and I spent a lot of my life doing just that.. but I have to say, I could NOT have done this while inebriated in any way... and to me, that’s pretty freakin cool!
