Default FT: EL31 Corsa Turbo

Just looking to see if there would be any interests. The car is definitely not what you see around my area. I bought the car about 2 years ago from the original owner. It had roughy 92xxx miles on it. My friend was actually the first person to ever sit in the back seat! The car was meant just be a beater....or a car to get me through college...but it later became more than that. Much more...

Looking to trade for clean EFs, EKs, DAs, EGs....(no automatics please)



-1990 Toyota Tercel 2dr Coupe
-EP91 Starlet 4efte swap (5 speed manual -turbo)
-HKS actuator - came with engine...works great
-Roughly 52xxx miles on engine
-B&G springs/ KYB GR2 shocks
-Vibrant muffler/vibrant resonator/ fully custom exhaust (really clean and quiet)
-Drag DR20's with Toyo tires
-DIY black housing headlights
-Custom fog lights H3 3000k bulbs
-Actual JDM corsa cluster (bought from Vietnam) comes with tach PLUS built in LED boost gauge. NOT yet installed



Pros:
Car runs amazingly well. No CELs. These engines are highly underestimated. They are only rated at 135hp @ 6400rpm, and 116tq @ 4800rpm., The 4efte performs very well. Swap was done just about 2 months ago. Not in a rush to trade really...unless I can get something I want. The car is neck to neck with my friends Subaru (has exhaust only) 3rd and 4th gear. Not bad I would say. Car runs quiet and smooth. Engine sounds really healthy and turbo spools very loud.

BAD:
Car does has rust...at the very bottom of front fenders (replace fenders and you're good to go) and by the rear wheels (require a bit more work). Pictures don't do justice though....you must see this car in person. I get compliments all the time. Only thing car needs now is body work.

Actually IMO it was a solid choice. Direct swap...plus the car is lighter than the majority of hatchbacks.
