The final tally:
96 Millenia S- $1000
alternator- $185
reman injector- $70
21 feet of vacuum hose and assorted tees- $20
knock sensor- $85
used maf sensor- $65
carton of cigarettes- $35
various fluids- $40
An S in great shape that purrs with no cel or tcs lights on for about $1500- priceless
Sorry I haven't been around. This is the busy season for the tour industry. I get one day off every 12 days or so. I finally finished project S today. Can't wait to "test" it later
PS, I got your email MC, thanks. All is well.

however I still think the 95-96 had some shock assists on the hood, I will try to find some pics.
BHR, I can save you the trouble. I have a 95 and 96. They both do not have "shock assists". They have free movement and are propped up with the metal rod.

Damn, Millies look good in silver. And those newer headlights are finally starting to grow on me... Gotta be the S, however. Just don't know what I'd do with a car you could maintain without selling your organs...
What you could do is drop a 200hp 7500 rpm KLZE in mated to a 5 speed tranny and own every other milly on the road.
I wish I had more time.
I would like to do that to a base model. Build it up and create a "sleeper" Millenia.
-
Good find. Availability of certain parts is sometimes more important than price.
-
Those look clean. I like it. The leds for the odometer look great as well.
-
not sure of the white... very passeI don't know. I still see them oem on some recent models. Not electro-luminesent, of course.
-
I THOUGHT SO
The avatar looked very familiar. -
Sorry to hear. Specs of said 95?
BTW, I would jump on Rengirl's Milly if I were there. That sounds like a decent price, and I'm sure the maintenance is superb.

True, but I havent logged on, just browsing as a guest. I might for the hell of it.

So it begins, Bahahahahah

Yes, it would be nice to have a fellow nutcase closer to home. I browse the "pissbucket" and there is someone there by the screen name 99 Hawaii Milly, or something. I wonder who or where in Hawaii this person is?
-
Why yes, yes it does......................
-
Indeed
:rollin: -
And manual transmission, not to mention the eunos with 4WS, and............................oh fuck it.
-
I can imagine the look on a total strangers face when I ask them: "excuse me, can I lift your hood?"
-
i say we go down and steal it then we take it to the chop shop
Looks like it already made a previous trip........OHHHHHHH, you typed "chop shop" not "crap shop". My bad.
-
Girly man..................
I think I will take the plunge and buy a set for my L. I figured the setup would be near identical by looking at the two. As for the hoods, mine feel light, so I'm assuming the 95-96 are aluminum.
-
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS's are good.
I will share that sentiment as soon as I get it back together.
For now, I must find a base model so my Milleniae trifecta will be complete -
Question: Why does the lowering springs say "S specific"? Is there a difference in suspension between the two?
-
MTS, I shall. After reading Ren's "saga" I realized I just assumed the hoses were right to begin with. I'm going to cross reference with the service manual, and will post updates.
-
Motherfucker..........................I better double-check the vaccum hoses with the diagram I have in the service manual. When I replaced the lines, I did the same thing. One at a time, assuming they were all where they should have been to begin with.
-
I finally changed the knock sensor. Damn that was fun.......NOT. I haven't finished reassembly yet. Supercharger is back in and all that is left is the intercoolers and the abv actuator setup. Will complete the assembly when I get another day off. The old knock sensor was toast. I can see why it would throw the code immediately after clearing all stored codes. Checked resistance on it (now that I have the workshop manual with all the specs) and it was dead. So far total cost (without my labor, which is of course free) is at $1600 for car and various parts. Still doing okay, considering it has low milage and a pristine interior, and a pretty darned nice factory paint job. No rust on the body or undercarriage, either.

Well that makes me feel a little better about spending what I did on the badges.

The undisputed truth flows from BHR
As time consuming (and frustrating) as it can be, knowing exactly what is being done to your car, not to mention the personal care and attention to detail, makes doing as much as you can on your own worth it. Most large shops and dealers treat your car like a cow at a slaughterhouse.
Cel Code P0302
in Millenia / Eunos 800 / Xedos9

I had a p0302 on my S. It ended up being a bad injector. Switching the packs would be the easiest check, then check compression, then fuel. Good luck.
