I have acquired another car that was an absolute bargain, so regrettably I need to move this on.
I have owned the car for approx 12 months, in that time it has only been on the road for 9 months. During that time I have only driven it every fortnight for 600km highway round trip. I work FIFO, so I only use the car to get to the airport and home (which is country SA).
Car is a Series 1 AE93 SX Twin cam. Has a VERY HEALTHY smallport 4age. Current odometer reads 335*** but does not reflect the mechanical condition of the vehicle, read below.
During the 12 months I have owned the car I have repaired or replaced the following:
Full service inc oil, filter, plugs, air and fuel filters (every 5000kms)
New rotor button
New Dizzy cap
New OEM cam seals
New OEM cam belt
New OEM cam belt tensioner spring
New OEM cam belt pulley
New water pump
New drive belt
New A/C belt
New Thermostat
New Koyo radiator
New lower radiator hose
New lower ball joints
New tie rod ends
New KYB front shocks
New front discs and pads with series 2 front calipers (larger rotor/brake combo)
New rear discs and pads
Base idle rest
Upper engine cleaner to clean valves, inlet manifold
Genie extractors
De-cat pipe (OEM cat included)
4 brand new tyres
CD player with AUX input
I have replaced most of the cracked or damaged interior trim pieces, or pieces that were missing when i purchased the car. Interior is in reasonable condition for age of vehicle. I fitted floor mats to keep carpet reasonable, no one ever sits in back.
Bad points:
- The body is ok for the age, but has a dent around the fuel flap and one in the RHF guard. Both of these were like that when i bought the car. I have a replacement front guard that needs paint. Both front and rear bumpers need paint as its peeling off. I can supply pressure pack paint in correct colour code.
- Oil pressure gauge in dash does not work, needs a new cluster to replace ($60). I have tested the engine oil pressure with a gauge, pressure is still excellent with over 50psi.
- Spare wheel well has some rust in it, as the tail lights were leaking water before I purchased.
Car is located in Adelaide SA, I am away alot for work, so inspection and purchase times need to be made in advance.
This is a very reliable car with still good power to boot.
