Year: 1985 Body (2+0/2+2): 2 door Coupe, 4 seater (2+2) Colour: Red (kinda) Engine (Turbo/NA): VG30E (Single Cam NA) Transmission (MT/AT): 5-speed Manual Interior (Cloth/Leather): Cream/Brown Cloth with leather dash. Odometer: 276,000 (~100,000kms on this engine) Price: $1000 Contact Details: PM me. Comments: The GOOD Engine is strong. The car was dynoed just before being taken off the road and managed 132.7hp. I will provide the dyno print-out with the car. Comes with a pioneer head unit and panasonic 6x9" speakers. Good condition tyres all round. Roughly 10,000kms of use. Front Brake pads were replaced about 10,000kms ago. Brake master cyl was replaced 10,000kms ago. Comes with 8000k HID headlights (high and low). Has a brand new battery put in a couple of weeks ago. Has a black widow car alarm and immobiliser installed. All 6 injectors have been replaced with reconditioned ones a couple of years ago after a small engine fire caused by leaky injectors. Comes with 5 spare injectors. Has a K&N air filter installed. Last serviced 10,000kms ago. Has new ignition leads. Installed 10,000kms ago. The BAD: Needs some work. There is some rust in a few places incuding under the battery tray, under the door sils and near the windscreen. Needs a respray. The car has sat for 12 months and will need a good service but it does start and run (a little roughly, no doubt caused by sitting for so long). I am flexable on the price. The price is there so that I dont get in trouble but I will consider offers including swaps. Photos can be found at my website
looks like a good buy, if only you were more local. would be a handy little investment to me shortly =)
If you are splitting the car for parts, I will buy the 5speed conversion parts from you. $300 ONO then that leaves you with the strong motor and sensors and differential to sell.
Hey Swampman, if you're still interested I'll sell her to you for $600 provided you can come get it within the next two weeks.
How is the gearbox? My main concerns it that if I buy for parts, mainly a 5 speed conversion, Does the gearbox make any noises?
It has a bit of a whine and apparantly the throwout bearing is worn. Clutch is ok but will no doubt need replacing. For $600 you cant go wrong really.
Sorry dude, car looks good and the price is cheap, but i'm wanting a good gearbox, my mrs would kill me if we had another car here. Have you thought about advertising parts? NA motors are worth at least 400-500?
