A little bit about the car
I bought the car 7/2007 with around 124k miles on it within that time I have honestly put about 4-5k miles on the car since then I don't even think that much. There is an error on the car fax which doesn't make sense but my car was broken when I got it smogged and I told the guy 126k for my milege but he put 136k down. (but at the time the car was sitting at home)
Anyways about the car, had the original 2nd gen motor. Upgraded the turbo around that time the speedo cable broke and shortly after the fuel pump relay went and I popped the motor.
Then began the long painful process of swapping in a 3rd gen. Which I happened to rebuild with ALL OEM toyota parts because I just slowly pieced it together over the period of almost 2 years when I blew it in november of 2007. I recently got it running but still have not tuned it yet.
PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR
Passanger door was replaced with a JDM door so the trim doesn't match.... as a matter a fact a majority of the trim doesn't because I painted half of it black.
The interior lights and power MIRRORS.... do NOT work.... but the windows do.
ABS light is on... but I do believe it is because of the rear axles
A/C was working fine.... after the rebuilt motor went in and it sitting for 2 years it doesn't work now.. making some squeeling noise dont wanna deal with it
IT NEEDS A TUNE
Obviously its a red car and its almost 20 years old.... it has some spots and dents that aren't so good
MOD LIST
3rd gen swap COMPLETELY REBUILT by yours truly
the motor has less than 1000 miles on it, since its rebuild!
JDM LSD 3rd gen trans
"lightly ported head and deshrouded valves"
Port matched intake manifold and exhaust manifold
Over bored throttle body (I think 4mm)
HKS 264 high lift intake on intake
HKS 264 low lift intake on exhaust
ATS cam gears
turbo hoses silicone coupling kit
greddy intercooler
Blitz kkk26 turbo kit (rebuilt turbo with upgraded wheel installed by turbo city)
3 inch downpipe with rerouted wastegate by yours truly, included flex pipes and v-band (notice the "S")
Tial 38mm wastegate (.8 bar I think)
Blitz Nur-spec
custom intake that needs a little improving on (just has too many couplings for me)
Giant SPAL fan on engine lid
Apex-i POWER FC (NOT TUNED!)
Apex-i electronic boost gauge
NRG detachable slim hub and momo wheel
JDM seats
SPEC stg 3 sprung clutch
Lightweight flywheel
D2 coilovers (will install if i ever get around to it)
Racing hart tracers (OG old skool wheels 16x7.5) 205 and 225
I think its the greddy poly urethane replica lip
Pioneer 12 behind the passanger seat
Rockford Fosgate amp
JDM tails
I am sure there are some mods I am forgetting
Now for the price, I am unsure of the what the market is asking these days but honestly I know in the last 2 years I have over 10,000 in JUST PARTS alone not the cost of the shell which was (4500 or the price to get it here and running) or anything additional.
I am asking -----$6000$------ Or best offer.... toss something at me
car was smogged recently and ready for a new home. tags are good till oct 2010 I think
For now she is sitting in my garage just collecting dust, I want this thing gone. Someone that has the time to work out the rest of the tiny problems that drive me crazy so I WILL NOT drive it.
I am motivated to sell this car
