Got it!! pheeewww!

so, now that we've covered that confusion... my biggest question is..... how reliable is the 3tc and how easy is it to get running after 5 years of sitting.. the OG owner has tons of paperwork showing the car was taken care of up to 2009 when the u joint broke and was parked..

another one is... when i sat in the car.. i pressed on the clutch and it was still as hell.. i clutch kicked and it bottomed out with zero back pressure. ( it had a new clutch,throw-out and flywheel resurface in 05 ) would it be the slave cylinder and you think it would need to be bled or replaced?

i am also afraid of gaskets blowing out when i first start it up... :/ does that happen a lot to these rides? im very curious as to how much $$ ill be dumping into it.. mind you i picked up this gem for 280$!!!!!!!!

First 4 digits of vin will tell you what model you have.

Is there fluid in the clutch reservoir? Yes, maybe can get away with bleeding. No, you have a leak and something needs replacing.

Drain the gas and replace. Check all fluids. If everythings good, I wouldnt worry about blowing up gaskets. If the carburator was full of gas when parked, its probably turned to varnish. Hopefully somethings not gunked up.

well ill add a picture the day this forum can upload a picture that isnt the size of a pea.. lol

and I have an AE71 version... (USA 1983 only) came with 4AC - mine equipped with 4AGE

Nice looking sportcoupe. Can't beat that for the money. What are your plans with it?

well i found out i have a 1980 Sr5 hatchback. lol but i plan on some little things to start.

Bride seats.
Weber Carb.
New full 2inch straight pipe exhaust with muffler under driver seat and 2.5 from axle back.
lowered 3 inches,
wheels and tires.
window tint.
steering wheel.
cluster gauges.
louvers.
fender mirrors.


so far thats what ive listed out in my mind.. but i am open to ideas.. i really want some opinions on wheel setups.. i want 15's but idk if i should go 15x8 or 15x8.5 in the rear.. and what tire profile i should "roll" with.
