Finding a gs430 was just a bonus.

Looks pretty clean. Colour is definitely an acquired flavour though. https://vancouver.craigslist.org/nvn...183796780.html

Then again I'm half colour blind so maybe it's just me

I see rust in the passenger side with the door open.
Also looks like the wiring from the deck is showing.
Interior looks pretty clean.
The outside def looks like a car that was driven 300K km's.
Wonder if the passenger door is an easy fix? Mine is starting to have that issue but I fixed it by gutting the door. #becauseracecar

Bridgestone RE71R 255/35/19 60% and 275/35/19 90% $475 obo

Ok, I thought it was like this beige: 
Like I said though, my colour vision isn't great so I'll shut up now lol
Edit: yea definitely looks much more like the yellow pearl

^^ I can't claim to know exactly how the pearl yellow would look like on an old 300ZX, but wouldn't this colour you posted be just regular pearl or cream white?

I'm not a huge fan of the pearl yellow as it's hard to match and every Z I see with it looks like it is sun faded.

Too bad. I think the beige/cream is much nicer than the yellow pearl

I am really having a hard time saying no to this one. There are few cars that I absolutely love, and the 4th gen accord is one of them. I have no room and have 4 projects going on. Someone please scoop this up.   https://vancouver.craigslist.org/van...185929529.html
COUPE! EX-R, pre-facelift (way nicer looking than 92-93 IMO), low KM, owned by a 103 year old lady... and the perfect 90's color combo.

Whoa damn~ I have fond memories of this generation of Accord since a highschool buddy of mine had one (albeit a 4-door version), and we did a lot of shenanigans in it. I especially remember how VTEC came on (yes, with the auto tranny no less), and the car sounded and felt awesome even though it was probably still dead slow even by the 90's standards LOL~ Quote:

Ai... too many awesome cars, too little time and parking spaces for them... | Nvm. I think 94 was the first year accord with VTEC.
You may be talking about the IAB butterfly valves which open at 4600 rpm which gave the motor a different sound.

Holy Eff, that Miata is a good deal! That won't be on the market long, I've been keeping an eye on the Miata market since I sold mine last summer and it's ridiculous what people are asking for their rusty NA Miata with 300,000 km.
I have no idea if this is a good deal but based on the price, I bet it's not. I usually ignore all listings with $0 or $1 as the price as it seems like the people who do that usually want some ridiculous amount for their car. So maybe not a good deal but it's a rare and totally hilarious little car. https://vancouver.craigslist.org/van...155237090.html

A friend talked to the Miata guy. Needs brakes, tires, water pump/timing belt. How hard/expensive is it to do that on a Miata? I am interested in it... but no experience with Miata ownership costs.
