*update*
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
the world cup seems to have slowed down interest in my 2.

If anyone is interested in a viewing or test drive, I'm on holiday now and won't be back until 9th July.

![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
£500 for the dent, so
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
£1,750
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Ive enjoyed owning it, but I just dont use it since getting my motorbike, and new family arrangements mean Ill need something bigger soon.
History
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
It was imported in Feb 2004, with 67,900 km on the clock
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
which is 42,000 miles.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
So whilst the clock is showing 94,500 now, I reckon its nearer 69,000 miles as it was switched to reading in miles when imported.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I bought it in Nov 2004 privately
Engine
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
After buying it, I realised it was broken!
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Piston 3 had cracked, resulting in 0 compression and eventually massive oil loss and breakdown.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I took the engine out at around 70,000, and did the following:
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- re-hone of bores
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(as no damage) fitted new Toyota oe pistons and rings as well as new bottom end
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(this was all done by Midland engineering)
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- New blueprint cam belt
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- New oil pump, water pump and coolant
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- New turbo seals and new impeller wheel on the CT20b
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(by Turbo Technics)
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- Refurbished alternator
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- New blueflame exhaust
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- Car already had HKS air filter and blow off valve
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- I didnt touch the head, as this was OK
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
After running in, it was recorded at 248bhp at Street Racers,
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(Leics) in Nov 2005.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
In 2006 I fitted a xxxx de-cat pipe as well, and with a bit of ignition advance, it was measured at 278bhp at Perfect Touch
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(Herts) in Sept 2006.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
They could hear a bit of detonation though, so I backed it back to standard, which probably reduced the power.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Peak torque was 250ft-lb.
Gearbox
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
The car has an LSD.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
At 84,000
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(July 2007) a new clutch was fitted by 3S services, which is a RPS street max 6 puk clutch.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Its pretty fierce to be honest, as the spring is very strong, but does the job.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
The gear change is a bit notchy however.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I replaced gearbox oil with mobil synthetic 75w90 in 2008.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I also replaced the clutch master and slave cylinder seals in 2006
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(after failure) and replaced clutch fluid with Dot 4 stuff.
Suspension
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Car came with tired black billies and
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
-40mm lowered springs.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I put on Koni adjustable all round, using rev1 rebuildable struts.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
After a few weeks I swapped the red koni springs for the rev 1 springs that came with the struts, as theyre more suited to dodgy roods.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Theyre a bit bouncy now though, but the virtually new Koni springs will come with the car, as will the Japanese
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
-40mm springs
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(if you fancy some time off work for back pain)
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
In the time Ive had the car, Ive replaced
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- All 4 ball joints
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(front S Bits, rear ebay)
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- Drop links all round x 2 various, including S bits, and eBay ones from other cars
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- Front top mounts
Brakes
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
The rev 3 brakes work well to be honest
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(no ABS or TC).
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
When I first had it, I put on new handbrake cables and rear pads, which sorted the poor handbrake.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Ive also fitted
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- Goodridge stainless steel hose
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- New front discs with pagid fast road pads in 2008
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- have just replaced brake fluid with new Dot 4
Wheels and tyres
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Standard rev3 wheels
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
with Toyo T1-R all round.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Front tyres have done 4,000 miles, but rears are brand new this week.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Service items
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- There is no service history as such, just my receipts.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Ive replaced the oil every year or 6,000 miles whichever sooner, usually with Fuchs Titan 10w-40 semi synthetic.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- New plugs every year as well
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
NGK BKR6E or BKR7E
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- Its had new Toyota HT leads and distributor cap since Ive had it, as well as a fuel filter
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- I do compression checks every year too
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I will hunt down my records, but they were all strong and within 3 or 4 psi of each other when I checked over winter
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- This weekend I re-gassed the aircon with Halfords kit, along with free anti fungal clean! Which restored it to being cold rather than just ambient.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
To be honest, it will be quicker to list the parts of the car Ive not touched:
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- Radiator and heating
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- Steering rack
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- Cylinder head and valves
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- Gearbox internals
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- Fuel pump and tank etc.
Body work
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
This is not so good.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Whilst there is zero rust or rot that I know about, the paint has suffered a lot of road rash from resurfacing, as well as just scratches and dings by myself when rebuilding the engine.
Update ![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I do now know about some rust
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
on the bottom of the driver's door.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Pictures have been added in the latest thread
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(22nd July).
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Its fairly obvious it has been caused by the rubber door seal holding water against the door.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I should have caught it earlier to be honest.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
The car also has a dent behind the drivers door, which someone kindly left for me in a car park.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Its purely cosmetic, which is why Ive not fixed it, but have had an estimate of
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
£500 from a local body shop to fix it.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Ive adjusted for this in the price.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Interior
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Cloth trim is in good condition.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
All electrics work, and its fitted with turbo timer and auto gauge manual boost gauge.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I have instructions for the Cobra alarm, and its certified as Cat 1.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I fitted a JVC CD-MP3 player, along with 400w JBL GT4 four channel amp in frunk, Infinity Kappa 60.5cs components and a 6 Elemental Design sub behind the drivers seat.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I do have the frunk plastics if wanted.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
So, there it is.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Its also going on piston heads, but Im in no hurry to sell.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Pm me for more details
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(if thats possible) or e-mail
[email protected] as the e-mail on IMOC is way out of date
