I just installed a new Duralast alternator (NIB, but was in storage for 3 years). I start the car & no more check light or other dash lights coming on. So that was a good sign I thought. I let the car run/idle for 5 mins. Thinking all is good, I turn the car off & all of a sudden I see the b...

Thinkin of selling a set with some curbage. 3 have good tires & 1 needs to be replaced. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v705/STREETFIGHTER50/96PlatinumLimitedEdition/1996PlatinumLE032909002.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v705/STREETFIGHTER50/96PlatinumLimitedEdition/1996PlatinumLE032909...

This would be nice to fix!

My dad's '96 lens cracked & I like the all red of the '98-00 V70's. Is this a straight up bolt on?

Wow that thing is freakin clean! Anyone know where to buy replacement motors for these locally? Wish it was how easy it is to get motors for all the Hondas/swaps etc...

I'm a big 1st gen 850/V70 fan, but lately have been seeing some really good deals popping up on the newer gens. Are the 2nd gen V70's as realiable as the previous ones? Anything I need to be concerned about?

Well I got off work early today & checked it out. I think I'm gonna have to pass. I really want something cleaner. Front bumper is cracked, a lot of oxidation/fading (especially on the rear bumper), chipped paint off the door moldings, interior is pretty dirty as well. The steering wheel is very...
