Ok this is the deal, my freind had a 99 3.2 TL which was flooded because of a water main that broke in an underground parking deck over night, the car was flooded all the way to the roof so the it was totaled. My Freind bought it back from the insuracne compnay for $1500 and sold it to me for $2500 which i thought was a good deal. The car has 75K miles on it, i've had the car for 3 weeks now trying to get it to run which it finally did this morning. When i got the car a lil water was in the oil and the tranny so i flush it out over and over again then i drop the oil pan and clean it out, change the the plugs, took everything out the car seats, center console, carpet, and the door panles and clean them. The acr runs pretty good and idles pretty smooth so all i have to do now is wash it and put everything back in it i will have pics ASAP. Thanks Fsttyms1, Black Acc, 03CoupeV6 for your the help

 

nice! Definitely show us some pics. is the electrical system working okay? any rust on any suspension components or water in the exhaust?

 

all the electrical system work except the back windows wont go up or down and the power seats dont work but everything else works, as far as rust there aint none and i forgot to add the gas tank was full with water so i had to drain all the gas out and dry then refill it with 93 octane then it cranked right up

here are the pics will have more soon it just started raining

 

Awesome I have a 99 DEG also, looks awesome when it's detailed. get the rear window motors replaced as well as the front seats and you have a great car, still with those minor problems you got a steal for 2500.00.

 

Congrats on getting it running

 

Ugh - water attacks the bonding material on the clutches in your tranny - not to mention the corrosion on steel parts.

Good luck.

 

well we'll see, until then i have no complaints + i couldn't pass on that deal i'll update u guys when i'm done with it

 

Its gonna be ma daily driver and i'm not planning on doing anything thats why i bought it so i can finish building the motor for my gsr

What about the HID system? Do your lights work?

 

yup works with no problem so far knock on wood

 

If you lived closer to the Mojave, I would drive it out there and let the car sit for a few days in the ultra low humidity to dry out any moist electrical or internal body components before they short circuit. Arizona, Nevada would also work. It's a good time for a road trip!

 

how did the interior hold up after its been flooded?

 

interior is fine i took everything out and clean em and they dont even smell

 

That's great you got it running. How are headlight ballasts, cd player, interior lights, and electrical doing?

 

headlights are good, the tape player has a tape stuck in there which there is L14 code on it so i have to get it out, and all the other elecrtical system works except the speedo and tach so i bought new cluster for it
