CAR IS SOLD, thanks.



























Car is located in San Mateo, served as a daily driver/beater for several years until the head gasket blew. It hasn't been driven since, except once a week I have to move it to the other side of the street for street cleaning. The head could be warped, but I'm certainly not going to pop it off to check. Pink (clean title) in hand. $900, tow her away.

Pardon the black ricer hood, white hood also available (condition unknown).

Little sub enclosure I built. The IDQ10 has pretty low air space reqs, but I'm sure this tiny box was pushing it.

Also a couple mtx amps: http://www.ironvulva.com/g/amp

Not quite as clean as it was in those pictures, but void of any body damage other than the various door ding here and there. Only rust that I'm aware of is a few spots where paint chipped off and was neglected.

Other random vague specs:

-ka24e+BHG
-5sp tranny grinded in second (synchro i'd assume). If you let the revs drop before putting it in second it was fine, annoying if you were trying to take off fast, though. Still commuted like that for years... obviously didn't bother me too much.
-VLSD (worked well enough for parking lot events)
-awesome new windshield (a week before the BHG, *awesome*)
-Koyo aluminum "race" radiator
-nismo power brace
-nismo shift knob (oh shit!)
-SPIN TURN KNOB (omg)
-ebay strut bars (F+R)
-CARB intake
-no cracks on dash... the drivers seat has a tear in the upholstery, though.
-Nardi classico (polished, flat spoke) with a nice locking removable hub.
-jvc exad something-or-other with an SD card slot, monochromatic touch screen (this is not the nice color screen one), and a sirius tuner (sirius antenna included, sirius service will be deactivated, of course).
-custom 10" Image dynamics IDq10 sub (not for bass heads, I built it to fit in the small nook in the hatch. hella practical :P ).
-pair of mtx amps (one is a 342 and the other is something smaller)... the smaller one is like a 50w or something tiny driving the front 4x6 plates (they might be infinity kappa, but I seriously can't remember, so assume the worst).
-autometer oil pressure and water temp mech gauges (the rad hose has the sensor for the water temp).
-assume everything else is stock/well worn/original parts.
-Nasty sponge rear spoiler started to leak when it rained, so I caulked it. I should go into the body shop business.
-I have a spare zenki lip somewhere in storage. That alone makes this car worth buying, I swear.

Took it to a couple of DDNs when we had them at GGF:

The car did not have an easy life with me, but it never caught on fire and it was never curbed/wrecked. Leaked oil like a mofo, though. All in all, this is a great car for a motor swap (imo), especially if you want some shitty stereo gear.

Don't want to deal with parting anything out, so do me a favor and just buy it outright. Did I mention the spin turn knob? It's for drifting.

Oh yeah, the registration is up, so I'll probably non-op it... or you can just buy it and deal with that.

Sorry about the abbreviations. DDN = Drift Day Norcal (Parking lot drift event). GGF = Golden Gate Fields (venue).

And for people who aren't aware, Norcal/San Mateo = California, just south of San Francisco.

thanks

willing and able to come and pick up the car. I was wondering if you could drop the price a little just to help pay for a trailer and gas. thanks

Forgot to mention, there's two things I forgot about until I checked the car out this weekend:

1) The center bridge of the pig nose bumper is cracked where it meets the bottom of the bumper. So it's like this: ==I== and the = is the hole in the bumper for airflow to the radiator, and the bottom of the "I" has the crack.

2) It also has a low profile dual electric flex-a-lite fan setup in a pull config. It's wired to a switch and I usually ran it full time.

I think that's more good news than bad, though ;)

edit:

Just remembered one more thing, the driver's side door uses a different key. Previous owner mentioned that someone tried to jack it and mangled one lock cylinder.

Sold within 24hrs of being on Craigslist, too. Crazy.
