consti2tion Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I don't really think any stock motor/stock transmission 620 is "fast" haha. Quote Link to comment
josh_t Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 automatics are always slower unless you have a huge turbo with lots of lag, then it helps since you dont have to let your foot off the gas to shift and lose all that boost. so basically a big turbo diesel is the only thing faster with an automatic.

jastrunk97 Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 well i dont need any parts yet, i just got the truck a couple days ago. but it has a non cracked dash witch is a nice feature Quote Link to comment
josh_t Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 definitely. thats sometimes hard to find depending on the cars environment. mine was cracked to hell and back so i just pulled the vinyl cap off the top. the plastic parts are fine. Quote Link to comment
jastrunk97 Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 i found the truck in the woods, it was sitting for 4 years Quote Link to comment
josh_t Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 my b210 was in a 1/4 mile wooded drive way for 2-3 years. it probably was in much better shape when it was first parked. it was parked for worn front brake pads. Quote Link to comment
jastrunk97 Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 bummer, i found an ant nest under my carpet :( Quote Link to comment
josh_t Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 oh wow. i havent heard that one b4. you can sit up in the trunk from underneath mine. the entire spare tire well is gone. too easy to fix once i find someone to do it tho. my floors are holy but they are flat so its almost as easy as the trunk Quote Link to comment
jastrunk97 Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 mine as alittle surface rust but no holes (except by the battery box as a small rust hole) Quote Link to comment
josh_t Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 mine does too. its no biggie to fix either. just a little sheet metal scrap and a hammer and weld it in. Quote Link to comment
jastrunk97 Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 ya. Quote Link to comment
josh_t Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 thats how my whole car is. a hammer here a hammer there, weld that up and weld a patch here. but 90% of the car is in good shape. nothing structural just cosmetic rust issues. Quote Link to comment
jastrunk97 Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 thats good, i have lots of time to work on my truck, Quote Link to comment
odmanjohnson Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 lz24 with a 4speed auto is whats in my daily. Its fast enough... Quote Link to comment
josh_t Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 well you started early. i bought my b210 with some money i had saved and the money i got for my 17th bday. i'm probably gonna have it mechanically sound in two weeks with my 18th birthday money. Quote Link to comment
