I hate to get rid of it, but im being shipped out of state for my job so I dont have much choise. Dont need it sitting in the garage taking up space I would rather see someone who will enjoy the car have it.
Color; Red
Interior color; Black
Miles; 80k-ish (forget it's in the 80-86k range)
Drivetrain;
Drop Springs: I believe these to be HKS but not sure, they are bright red in color
Tociko struts front/back
HKS Super mega flow intake
Blitz BOV
FCD
Turbo Timer - forget what brand
Holley 255lph fuel pump - in tank
5Zigen single side exit catback - precat still in place alltho appears to be hollow (loud)
16x7 5-Star wheels (absolutely awful looking)
Transmission shifts perfectly, no slop in shifter and the syncs are perfect.
Suposedly the motor itself is a 13b-rew from an old Cosmo, I cannot verify that however.. the intake and ic appear to be the same as it came with stock. Unless only the housings ect. are from the Cosmo, I dont know, the guy said he ran the # on the motor an that is what it came back as but I cant be for certain.. People say alot of things, it doesnt make it true.
Turbo has suposedly been changed, again I cannot verify that either. I can say the turbo has no slop in it and spins freely.
Interior;
Black cloth
Everything is perfect, not faded, carpet is nice
Power mirrors/windows/sunroof/seatbelts
Everything is stock except for the red leather shiftboot (factory one is in glovebox)
And the shiftknob which is off of an 87 TII
Factory radio still in place, alltho seems to not play (powers up but no sound)
Owners manual, warranty papers with orig owners name/addy ect. still in glovebox
Hatch cover which is allways missing in these cars is still there
Sunroof pops up and slides back on its own, motor is perfect
Hatch opens up on its own, shocks are still perfect
Exterior;
Factory red paint is faded somewhat, it needs buffed out. I started to rub it out by hand just to see if it would infact come back an it started looking 100x better just by hand. Using a buffer would bring it right back.
Factory rear wing
Rear wiper
Cons;
Car starts/runs, but not properly. When I purchased it, it was a vacuum-line nightmare. I fixed some of what I seen to be wrong but not all. What I believe to be the emissions equipment has been removed via. block-off plates on the intake. Along with the coolant lines going to the throttlebody have been removed. It will run but it doesnt want to idle. If you hold it at around 2k-rpm it will but not properly. I took it down the road and back and it wasent no race car but it didnt run bad. Still fast enough to outrun any civic in my town.
But I put it back in the garage because I didnt figure in its current state driving it would be good on it.
Honestly I dont know enough about these cars to fix it, nor do I have the time being as how I will be out of town for my job. There are no local shops in my area that know jack about them either so I think it best that I sell it to someone who does.
Drivers side auto seatbelt gets stuck, it goes back allmost all the way then stops, dont know why I havent had the time to look into the problem
Pass side rear marker light lense is cracked
Headlights do not go up/down, however the fuse for them is missing, I havent taken the time to put one in.
Flash to pass lenses are missing, I was told they were taken out to help get air movement under the hood, I dono..
Drivers seat has 1 rip in it, other than that the interior is absolutely perfect
Small dent in drivers fender which I believe could be popped out easily, few other small dings, 1 in door, 1 in the rear by the bodytrim which makes it allmost un-noticeable.
I will take pics after I get home from work (6-7pm) and post. It is just too dark in my garage to get decent quality pics right now. I will open the door an take some in the daylight.
I am leaving Monday, the 22nd of this month of August, which is 1 week from this post. So I would like the car to be gone before then.
If anyone is interested in it PM me with an offer, the 1st person with a reasonable offer will be it's new owner. I have an idea of what I want out of it which I assure you is low. Im not trying to make money off of this car, matter a fact if I break even or even take a couple hundred loss on it that is fine with me. But please dont insult me by offering say $500 for it.
