im trashing my 87 coupe manual legend, i also have an 89 coupe auto..... what parts should i keep from the 87 to use if something possibly goes wrong with the 89.... im planning on taking all the calipers, water pump and timing belt (only because its only a year old), same with the alternator, maybe the cv axles cause theyre a lil over a yr old, ac parts, ecu, in dash computer and maybe the instrument cluster. interior is crap, so maybe the radio, driver pwr seat motor. i want to sell the engine and trans if possible to a company who would rebuild it, does anyone know anywhere i could get some cash for them??

Is the hood on the 87 coupe any good? I need one. I cant find one here in las vegas for some reason. Other than that you should keep your seats because someone might want them for a project and maybe all of your interior for same reason. take out your sunroof since it is easy to do and stash it. doors might be another one if not in bad condition. It is all relative to how much room you want to use up at your house.
thanks

the hood on my 87 is in good shape but theres a dent on the front part where it curves down to the grill. the dent looks as if were hit by a baseball also as far as i know the car steers great. did any of u guys want parts??? ill give em to u cheap, but its the shipping that will cost.

dgenchi ur in melbourne fla? are u goin to the orlando meet on the 24th?? u should try to make it itll be phat. well about the pics the car looks really bad....rust, dents, its an 87, but everything mechanically is fine and worth selling. engine trans and other motors are fine. the things i wouldnt sell because its pretty much crap is the interior(seats, console, trim...) the body is bad except maybe front right fender, antenna and alb computer is bad.

hey I need the radiator fan control unit, if you have. I dont think years would matter cuz mine is also an 89. You should post in the for sale section.

87 coupe have the climate controll?

if your coupe has the climate control for ac- then I believe it will have the Radiator fan control unit -

I would be willing to bet it is the same as the 1990 ls-

It is located above the gas pedal and has 2 sets of multi plugs going in to it- is about the size of a pack of cigaretts-

however it could be in just as bad of shape being 15 years old-

I would give you some money for it as well-

yeah its auto climate controlled. the ac works sweet so im sure theres nothing wrong with the controll unit or any other ac parts. ill pull the fan control module on thursday and give a price (if i know something is not working i wont even bother pulling it out). just pay cost and whatever shipping is. when i get it out ill let u guys know how much, jiggy youll probably get 1st dibs

oh alright cool. I just spend 400 bucks on a new radiator, a new radiator fan assembly, and 2 pipes. My car is still over heating and I have feeling the freaken radiator fan doesnt come on when its suppose to. Whenever you get a chance to get a hold of it then email me at [email protected]. Do you accept paypal?

I sure hope it is working.

i dont have paypal i just do money orders its easier for me, also tell me again where the fan control module is located, i got a printout from acura but i want to make sure, also call acura and make sure my 87 coupes fcm will fit in ur 89.

hey JIGGY try just wiring the fans to stay on whenever the car is turned on. See if that makes a difference. If not then you can rule out the fans being the problem. When the weather cools off you could just wire them back the way they were? just a thought. about the hood I think shipping would kill its value. thanks anyway.

yeah shipping that heavy hood to nevada from florida would cost more than the hood itself, for something like that its better finding one locally. peace

Hey James. Sorry, I am at work and can't email from here.

I would be interested in the trip computer if it is in working condition. Mine is all messed up.

Drop me an email at [email protected] and let me know if and how you want to do it.

Thanks much

Pete
