alright this is a feeler... we just got the for sure ok from these people up in alaska that we (by we i mean me and my by then (september 9th) wife) for sure will be running their store this comming school year (starting october).
im going to have to cover ALOT of crap at the end of this year... at LEAST 2800 dollars in plane tickets (they said we could come home for christmas) so i need 4 round trip tickets. then money for our honeymoon, this will probably be 1000-1500 bucks, we will be staying in a nice hotel the first night or two, then we will be staying in longbeach, WA at a friends beach house.
anywho my car is falling apart... the chassis has pushing 200k miles on it and you can tell... it needs a 4 wheel alignment so bad, the tires i have on it are like 3 months old at the most, and i need new front tires (thats not completely from my allignment .... the turbo is to blame for alot of that, but a very thin line on the inside of the drivers side front is bald. ive hit a curb before and thats alot to blame for my allignment issues. and the back passangers side tire has a leak. i just noticed when i put my new motor in that, the passanger side frame rail is bent down just infront of the motor (prior damage before i got the car) the lower core support is bent to all hell from bumping the stops in parking lots being lowered.
anywho id like to sell the car complete locally because im not going to have time to part it out before i go up, it would deff be for parts, you would be wasting your time to buy it to drive... trust me.
id like 2000 for it and all the rest of this increadibly long post explains why... if you want a COMPLETE turbo kit with EVERYTHING from intake to exhaust to managment and all the extra parts i have lying around on a car read on for all the details, if you dont want it you dont have to waste your time. pictures are to come later today!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
what its got:
engine/drivetrain
-fresh top end gaskets and seals.
-gtx water pump
-gtx windage tray
-gtx cams
-gtx intake manifold (one with a hole in it for a boost gauge hole tapped into it, one without a hole)
-gtx exhaust manifold
-vj20 turbo
-custom fmic setup (pictures can be seen on neuspeedescort's cardomain page for his red car, i bought his setup)
-custom run 3" crush bent exhaust, straight pipes, this setup has flanges in it for a cat but one would need to be welded up to pipes, my cat is shot... also there is a flange on the tail end of the exhaust for a 3" glasspack to quiet it down some. glasspack with hangers included, along with stock exhaust that will bolt up to the 3" downpipe
-hks ssqv bov but easily changed out for anything, the flange was not welded to the pipes the flange is held onto the pipes by a hose.
-bp26 ecu
-3 faze gauges, boost, oil pressure, egt (egt yet to be installed but would be included)
-act clutch 60-75% life left
- tranny that shifts great, i got it freshly rebuilt, my cousin needed it for a bit when he blew his tranny up so i got to try it out, it kind grinded into second so when i got it back i put a new blocking ring in, its still occationally got a little crunch on engagement but it ALWAYS goes in as fast as i can throw it.
-kartboy shifter
-bronzoil shifter bushings
-i have a greedy profec b boost controller in the mail.
motor runs strong, when i put the motor in i was pushing 165-175 in all cylinders for compression, then the next day i was at 150, this is a motor that has sat for years, so id like to get out and do another test now that it has some recent miles on it... it burns NO oil. idles great.
suspension/wheels tires:
-probably the only thing i would totally trust of my suspension is my springs, both my drivers side struts took a beating when i hit the curb, my front drivers side strut was replaced but i never got around to my back, it works fine but i can tell there is damage to the strut because the rear drivers side sits a little lower than the rear passangers side.
-02 miata rs wheels (ive had lots of compliments on these and alot of people asking me where and how i got them) they are like 1600 for the wheels alone from the stealership. as mentioned about the tire situation, it would be a good idea to replace all 4 of the dunlop sp sports on them.
interior:
-93/94 style mx3 seats redyed black, slight hole in boulster of drivers seat
-protege cup holders and ebrake cover
-leather shift boot and nicer knob from a 00 contour it looks very clean
-indiglo gauges, i just put a new cluster in and swapped them into the new cluster, im not sure if i killed my temp gauge face or if i just forgot to plug it in but it doesnt light up...
-custom gauge cluster for 2 gauges where the center vents are on the dash... this was done for me, and im no pro, i didnt have a fine enough filler so there are pinholes in the finish, looks amature (it is, but it holds gauges).
-POWER windows and central locking system found in every LXe (pass window goes up slower than all the other windows but it works great none the less)
-grant steering wheel (evolution)
sounds:
audiovox in dash fold out dvd player (7" lcd monitor)
2 12 jl subs from a dude at work (kinda old)
1 jenson? amp, nothing special, it came with the subs (so its also old) but i sold my mtx sub and amp and my fosgate amp took a crap on me.
infinity speakers all around, not sure of conditon of all of them they sound good but at some volumes it kinda sounds like one of them is blown.
exterior:
-rear trunk lid replaced with one with a spoiler (grey primer) i dont have the original, it was beat to hell, i replaced it for a reason.
-tracer front end (grey primer) headlights look amazing (with silverstar bulbs SO much better than anything ive ever had in combination with clear headlight housings), tracer front bumper, the bottom was kinda cut up to fit the intercooler, but i tried to keep it intact as much as possible.
-the rest of the body is beat to hell.. thats how i got it, i think someone walked on the hood/roof/ trunk, because the support, is caved in on all 3 (one of the reasons i replaced the hood and trunk)
as you can tell, there is alot of stupid crap about this car... right now it runs great and reliably gets me to work (quickly
) i have ALOT of money into this car and just cannot see spending the money to get it driving great again, the steering sucks (associated with my curb incident), i really wanted to get it fun one more time before i took it apart but its just going to cost WAY too much and i need to be putting money away, so im going to try to keep it in one piece as long as possible and ditch it all together.
-i just paid 200 for the boost controller
-i have about 750 into all my exhaust work
-i have 750 for a basic turbo setup with aboutt half of what i needed to boost then 350 to replace the turbo that was bad.
-500 into the motor
-200 into gauges
-250 into wheels
-about 500 into my current stereo
-300 into my fmic setup
-250 just for my bov
id like 2000 for the car, you can drive it away, take what you want off it and scrap it. i know some of you are going to say "your car with all those problems is not worth 2k" well its not the car im selling its the COMPLETE turbo setup ready to bolt on and run you into the 13s with slicks (i ran a 14.7 my 4th and last run ever with it, at 98 mph with no boost controller, 3k weight with me in it, on street tires, and a poor 60' time.
its all bolt on and ready to go. im off to get pictures to follow the rules... ill probably just put a link to my cardomain because to get pictures to cover half of what i listed it will be alot of pictures.
