I’ve had my fun with this beautiful car, but as a full time student this car just isn’t practical for me anymore.
Ready to pass this guy onto the next one, very bitter sweet 😢
Before it became one of the strangest concepts of the early ’90s, there was the Isuzu Nagisa.
Unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show, the Nagisa wasn’t just a styling exercise. It was an attempt to merge a city car with a watercraft—powered by a 3.2-liter V6 on land and an impeller system in the water, with retractable wheels and rear-deck entry.
But the purpose never followed.
With no clear use case or real-world application, the Nagisa remained an idea without direction—an ambitious concept that blurred boundaries without defining a future. For a vehicle designed to go anywhere, it ultimately went nowhere.

1997 isuzu rodeo,had a broken tail light when I bought it (for 400$) so fixed it by screwing half a tail light from a square body Chevy onto it,it's now legal.And if you couldn't tell my state doesn't do vehicle inspections lol
Basically the title. Had my 1999 for a bit over 3 years and finally decided to get around getting some new fobs since I didn't have any. Got the correct HYQ1512R and tried every manner of instructions to enter programming. No luck
Now that I think of it, I've never seen the anti-theft light ever come on for any duration, blinks, etc. Makes me wonder if there is even a module installed. Where would it be on a '99? Checked under driver side dash and behind glove box, no dice.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
I am very smart, since I'm so smart I picked up this 98 trooper with no doors,missing back half,and bad rad for 400$ and driving it cross state lines 3 hrs home on mountain roads.Im a genius.And all I'm bringing with me is radiator seal,JB weld, zip ties,duck tape,a strap and a hammer.
I hope I make it
98,000 miles. Lots of add-ons. 7” touchscreen w/ CarPlay & backup camera. 1” wheel spacers. Good tires. Decent body. Light rust. Interior in good shape. Where’s my starting price?
I went their abd found out its a 5 speed manual,ion know how to drive a manual but I learn fast so I'll be banging gears through the school parking lot soon enough lol,here is all I found out bout it
-posi rear end
-mold...so...much...mold....
-it drives nice untill you turn then it slides nice
-for some reason it has way more power than it should for a 90s suv,and it just begs to take off,why is it so responsive lol
-it sounds like poo,(I get to cut off the cats tho yay)
Sorry if this is a bad place for this, I'm still new to reddit.
I just need a first car for just general A -> B purposes while I'm in college.
I'm mechanically inclined and know more than the average American about cars, but I still wouldn't say I'm extremely knowledgeable.
Ive found a 1998 Isuzu Amigo for 500 dollars.
This is what the listing reads:
"Won’t start Idk what’s wrong don’t ask Trans and clutch are good Ac and heat work New radiator New tires New brakes front and rear Clean title"
The car is very straight and super clean, rust free and very well kept.
I'm hoping out just needs an alternator or a starter or maybe even just a battery if I'm lucky.
But, Im not very well versed in this specific car or in Isuzus in general.
Is this a good deal? Are these cars known to suck? I've heard mostly positive things about the longevity of Isuzu, so I'm hopeful.
I've already got an appointment to see it tomorrow.
Any advice?
Long story short, I’m changing the head gaskets on a Isuzu 3.2L. I have everything taken apart down to looking at the timing belt. I put the crank pulley bolt back in to turn the crankshaft until all the notches line up and I’m at TDC. The only problem is, no matter how many times I cycle it the marks never all line up. I lined up the marks on the camshaft gears and the crankshaft is off. I don’t think I’m missing a mark on the crankshaft, because there is a clear notch visible when turning it. I don’t know if the car jumped time at some point, but other than a hard start it idled smooth before I started disassembly. I don’t know if I should temporarily put the crank pulley back on to see if I’m just somehow looking at the wrong notch. I took 3 pictures to show the closest I can get to what looks like TDC. I honestly don’t know what my next move should be and if it did somehow jump way out of time at some point. I feel like it’s something simple in overlooking.
