Well, I saw this after I posted on another topic-Mysterious Ground Wire. So some of this info is on the other post. I owned a 2000 Lsi that took a tap in the back. The insurance totaled it, but it was barely damaged. I wanted an Xfi since my buddy got me into them back in the early 90's, one came up a month ago just down the road and I snatched it. It has lived it's whole life in Georgia so there is hardly any rust.It had a rebuilt head 20k ago and a new clutch 40k ago. It was loaded down with aftermarket stereo junk including a sub woofer the size of a small refrigerator. All of that mess has been pulled out including the underbelly neon lights. I would like to get the original wheels for it and get rid of the Falken Proline's currently on it. I'm not a mechanic, just a tinkerer, basically into restoration/originality of these cars, driving it as light as possible and sticking it to the Gas Man. Very glad to have found this great site. Thanks, Steven

Thanks idmetro, I already have the "old school" Autotech amp on Ebay, the Alpine stereo is next.The sub woofer box is making a great tool table in my carport. I might shoot some skeet with the cheap speakers. I'll see how much the stuff that was in it takes off the $1200 price, but whatever it is, it's going back into the metro. |

Hot damn! looks like you got its twin Johnny Mullet and Modder Man, yes, after weeks and weeks and weeks of hourly Craigslist checking it appeared-I was the first caller. The guy said he was getting calls from all over the country, but I was lucky to be right down the road. It was a triumphant day.

Nice ride. I'd work out a wheel swap in a heartbeat if I was closer to you. |

Car Nut, I would strongly consider taking a Metro road trip and do a wheel swap, even have a real close buddy up your way that I need to visit (he just had heart surgery). These are 13 inch rims with new p175/70R13's and I am just now reading other post about larger rims and fuel economy-odometer readings-this that and the other, so much info on this site my heads about to explode. I would just like to get it back original and go from there...I'll put a trip on my maybe list. Edited by Stevens93XFI, Jul 28 2011, 09:51 PM.
