    Pesty's 2003 P71

    Well I bought another one. Its a 2003 p71 140k miles all black. I picked it up for $2800 from a silly wig@#& in need of money for lawyer fees. It looks good from a distance but its defiantly a 10ft paint job. Runs strong I'm not sure about the tranny I stomped on it going about 50 and it shuddered then felt like it popped out of gear. I hope theres nothing seriously wrong with it. Of course it didn't happen when I was test driving it with the guy. Any whoo I know all you guys want to see is the pictures.

        How does it drive compared to a box? Will it actually pull a U turn in a reasonable distance, or has the turn radius gotten huge with the rack and peanut steering? Looks good otherwise. New DD ?

          Mine u-turns in a pretty tight circle. No problems. Nice car Pesty, is that what the light bar money went for? :smirk:

          Looks like a FHP car.

              Service the transmission. My dad's P71 did something similar, and it went away after we serviced the tranny.

              Doesn't look bad from the pictures, and will probably make a swell daily grinder.

              I have those same seats in my '90; they aren't quite as plush as the box seats, though.

                  Yeah I was thinking about that. But today I was turning a corner at about 20 and floored it and the motor died. So now I'm wondering if its a engine issue. I know next to nothing about 4.6 is this might be a bumpy ride.

                    Well changed the fuel filter, tranny fluid/filter and threw some seafoam in the gas tank for shits and giggles. Its seems to have fixed my problem. I really think it was the fuel filter that did it. I've never seen more disgusting of a fuel type liquid come out of one before. I tell you what I didn't realize how much quicker and better handling these were over a stock box. Any of you guys out there on a small budget wanting to go fast just sell your box and pick up a P71. Don't get me wrong I love my 84 and wouldn't trade it for anything but this is a mean bitch.

                      Well said I love my '90 CV but my '93 GM is a better performer overall.

                              Nah, just kidding. It looks nice. Windshield isn't tinted, is it? It almost looks like it is, but I'm assuming that must just be glare in the picture.
