.panasonic i think single din drinks holder
(highly prized item!) mr2oc club mats
rhon leather gear gaiter(looks fantastic in perforated black leather)
the engine has never smoked and sounds very healthy,it has been run on silkolene oils only with genuine oil filter and the oil has been changed at around 3000-3500 miles thats complete overkill but she deserves it.
i had 3S to give her a compression test back in march 2007 and the results were 12bar accross all cylinders.that might be a while ago now but shes only done around 8000 miles since then!!!.
she also had a coolent change at 64000 with a new OEM thermostat.
sparkplugs have been changed with the oil changes and the apexi filter(which looks brand new) is also cleaned then.
as you can see by the complate suspension system and steering over haul she drives very nice and with the tein adjustable suspension it sticks to the road like glue and a pleasure to drive.it can be adjusted to a soft ride like standard though to very hard for track use
(ps..ive never tracked her but i think she would make a serious track weapon).the power delivery is breath taking,it plants you in the back of the seat and just keeps pulling.the turbo spools up almost instantly and pulls strong to the redline.it puts to shame my impreza wrx ive just bought.well the mr2 is running almost 100bhp more i would have thort.
cars with these bolt on mods typically see anywhere from 265 up to 300 hp.i run 1 bar boost but it will happily go to 17psi!! with the intercooler.
she is ALWAYS warmed up before driving and allowed to cool before turning off.
ride hight is also adjustable with the c-spanners
(included).i also have all the tein stickers as well if you wanted to fit them(i prefure the stealth look!)the gear box is great with only a slight notch to second gear(when cold and not all the time), its been like this since ive had her and its never got any worse in 3 years and never is any problem getting it in gear but i wanted to mention it anyhow.
*see latest post*the gearbox has redline mt-90 in it and will not need changing for a long time.i have a spare bottle you can have as well.
the cambelt was changed when the original owner from imoc bought the car so is due to be changed(every 3 years)
3S quoted 230 all in for this with tesioners etc and ancillery belts changed
this car has done very little milage over the 3 years ive had her as i live above work and was never used for commuting!
i belive the milage was 53k or 57k when i bough her and now its on 72-73k
a couple of bad bits(but not much)
EDIT.
the paintwork is excellent for it age.ive given it a good wax and polish today and it looks stunning the only issue in my eyes is the few stonechips and marks on doors.
..these will touch up no problemstheres a small bit of rust on the rear n/s arch thats been sorted but needs the paint touching up.ive been quoted 40 pounds for this.see picture
and a small area on the drivers door and a corner of the bonnet that needs touching up but its not rust just where i caught the paint.
the o/s wing has been resprayed but the white is not a 100%perfect match but its like 98% and not really noticable but i wanted to mention it
there are no dents
but it sounds worse than it really is she still waxes up stunning and looks fantastic.i get loads of positive comments about the car
i think thats it!! any questions give me a call 07791430621 or Private message
mot is due march 8th 2010 and tax is march 1st 2010
the price is
£3100 no offers (she is worth every penny and more but i need a quick sale as i have my new car)EDIT.
.had a 3 stage wax and polish today and im really pleased with the paintwork.
EDIT
