Hola everyone,
I don't normally post, I'm more of a watcher. I'm finally aloud to get my project car now that it is the summertime and since I couldn't find an S-14 that was a stick I moved over to the Toyota MR2-T. One of my friend's brother-in-law's is selling his and it is more then tricked out. I'm talking about raceing clutch, suspension, brakes, everything. He's also throwing in the 2,000 dollars worth of parts that he has with it! :D The thing is, my insurence said it'll cost me 8000 bucks a year to run it with the current set-up thanks to me wrecking out my 2k1 civic not to long ago. My dad is telling me if we buy it, the engine must go back stock :mad: , I suggested just turning the turbo down, but it's still pushing the car to 300 hp. If I went down to the stock turbo, or a smaller turbo? I dont know what I'm going to do, but I'm getting it soon ;-)
Here are some facts that re releated to it.
Car: 1991 MR-T
Miles on Car: 125,000
Miles on Engine: 5,000 since being rebuilt.
Clear mods I could see: Stage 4 Turbo, pipeing, small chrome tipped exhuast. Apc [ or apexi , I can't remember ] Boost monitor, boost pod's along driver' colom and a few other things.
System: 2 8" JL W6s [ I think. ] PPI Amp . Eclipse headunit.
[ I'm swapping this out most likely with my Sony X-Plode headunit , My OLD school Rockford Fosgate amp. ]
Other: Fake carbon fiber dash kit, yellow paint, decent guages, raceing pedeals, and two Sparco raceing seats. [ One is all black, and fixiated, the other looks like a warn Sparco Torino. ]
What do you guys think I can do to help drop insurence or improve this situastion? He's selling it for 8,500 bucks, includeing all the stuff in the car, the engine mods, and 2,000 dollers worth of parts he's collected over the year for his car.
Until then, take it easy.
And if anyone see's DSC anymore, tell him it's a damn shame he is selling his s-14.
