So after i had an accident in my 94 and it was totalled i've been on the hunt and came upon a few but passed to come up on something a little better. So i finally found a 97 GTS for 600. Anyway onto the pics let me know what you think.












Andrew, Scott let me know when you guys are available so we can swap this b!

 

[Rubix]

Thumbs up except for the stripes. But hey for $600 good score

So, when's this swap going to take place? Any weekend coming up I'm free. I'm sure with you, me, Scott and Andrew we can do this in an afternoon.

BTW - You know I gotta say this, you should have bought a SHO

BTW - You know I gotta say this, you should have bought a SHO

Maybe a 92. With a hole through the hood and bald tires. LOL!

I'm definately down to help. Just let me know when. Good looking car for sure

 

[elarm1]

Are those the factory added stripes?

 

[AMDUKES]

yeah its the 97 gts which comes stock with the stripes. it will probably be about 2 weeks before we can swap engines. but im going to work on it this week see if i can get it running.

 

[Rubix]

Oh wow I never knew any probes came with stock stripes. I still admit to disliking them, though it's cool how they incorporated the 24v DOHC in the back, I like that

 

[hawkeye18]

for $600, that's a steal. Good find! Just hope there aren't any electrical problems lol. You swapping the ZE into it?

 

[Kens1992mtxSHO]

For now we just need to get it running. I keeps tearing timing belts which is why he got a good deal on it. We're thinking it's just a bad tensioner. If that doesn't go well we are just going to swap over the good motor from his previous Probe, now a donor car.

 

[Sho Amo]

good looking car dude. i cant wait to see it running!

 

[Sho Amo]

I thought you said it was a ze? That looks like a de manifold

 

[AMDUKES]

no its a de its just a gts with a few mods already LOL

 

[Kens1992mtxSHO]

Yeah, sorry bout that. I'm probe ignorant

 

[AMDUKES]

so i fixed up the spark plug wires today cause they were driving me crazy. The guy i bought it from had the wires completly ass backwards. LOL

456
123 is the firing order he had instead of

135
246

so new timing belt today should show if we need to swap the engine or not. im hoping not just so i can get this on the road quick and it has less miles

 

[Sho Amo]

make sure it has all necessary components. i know on the sho motor if you dont put the washer back on the front of the timing belt it will eat right through the cover.

 

[AMDUKES]

yeah i know i did it on my 94. i wasnt in a productive mood today so it will have to wait til tomorrow

 

[AMDUKES]

ken what are you doing on sunday. i need a jack and jack stands. LOL i dont have mine there in my grand am. plus its boring working on a car by your self

 

[Sho Amo]

sunday is import vs domestic :0

 

[AMDUKES]

lol ken wants his sho back quick so he'll help me out Lol

 

[Kens1992mtxSHO]

Sorry we couldn't get it running. Funny how it jumped timing though. I suggest buying a new tensioner or just say screw it and yank the old one from the other car.
