Thanks for the replies. I never stated selling my car on this site, I just wanted some feedback. I paid $3000 and probably take $4000 or $4500.

The mileage is 135k, and the color is dark blue. I have photo's, no body damage. New tires, chome wheels everything works.

Happy New Year to everyone. I have not been on this site in about 8 months. Question. My 1989 coupe in just sitting, what would a be a good selling price........everything is working,no accidents, dark blue inside and out, new tires, air works good.

Okay let me restate the question.......which brake pads do you use?

Delco is that the same as AC/delco, I mean durastop?

Does anyone know the different in rear brake pads? I just rec'd from Rockmart Durastops AR 17d354m rear, but they look different from the pads I got from them last time. What do the AC delco 171-557 look like, why do AC/delco have two different part numbers? I think mine are semi-met.

Jim is the CRT problem test in the service manual not valid (chart C-1 and C-5), page 8d-49. Since I would have to go the dealer for them to use special tool J-34914. My CRT is rolling since about 6 months.

Okay! That's the exact same thing Jim Finn said in his e-mail. "Change the fluid"

On the road again..............purchased a pressure switch from Jim Finn and my mechanic installed it yesterday. Brake problem is now solved.

Correction...........I don't have touring 732; I have Ecsta hp4 716 for $42 ea.

Try Original Interiors 770-978-9140 in Lawrenceville; they do a lot of work for the dealers. When I was selling my '93 Lexus SC400 they made the interior look brand new. And for not much money to boot. Or check Yellow Pages under Auto seat covers, upholstery.

Hey.......don't waste your money on Borla, I had a set on my Lexus SC400. They are okay but not worth the money. Just go to a good muffler shop and tell them what you the car to sound like. My '89 has dual exhausts, just use a smaller muffler similar to the stock with two outlets and bend the pipe around the back and come out the other side. They will have to cutout a little bottom bumper molding to match the other side. The sound is better than stock, but not loud. Est $100 for the muffler and another $100 labor.

I purchased a set of the Kumho Touring 732 about a month ago from Tirerack and would say they handle great in the rain. I think it rained every day in June in ATL. $48 is what they sell used tires for in the city.

I never posted that I finally solved the brake rattle in my '89. My mechanic traced the noise to two missing brake clips. The small metal clips attach the brake pad to the brake piston. I always hated the rattling noise when driving over bumps. I got two from Jim about eight months ago and that was the last time I heard the rattling.

Off topic Padgett...who writes those service manuals? How can they be so precise and thorough. At times it appears as if God is doing the writing. The manuals are worth their price in one repair job.
