Don't be lazy people. Read. Don't ask questions about stuff I have covered in this listing.
Ok so I have bought an S13 Coupe recently from a friend of mine. I got the car originally to drop the LS motor from my hatch into it. I love coupes and I wanted one specifically how I like em...Wingless, and no sunroof manual base model. Took forever but finally found one and picked it up a couple months back. Paid a couple hundred for a bare shell, no suspension, subframe, harness, motor...Nothing.
So I picked up the car and decided to get it ready to drive until I dropped the LS in it, and started buying parts for the car. I put a subframe under it, suspension, 4-lug, brakes and everything in it. Then just happened to come across a KA for sale with everything I needed, so I bought that stuff too, and figured I could drive the car daily while I was taking apart the hatch I have. So I put the motor in and the new harness, ecu, tranny and all that jazz...Changed all the fluids, spark plugs, checked the timing chain before going in, changed everything and even put in a K&N filter!
Dropped a fresh battery in the car and it turns over slowly but doesn't crank up. We tried a couple more times and no luck. So I just let the car sit in the drive way. Now that my hatch has had a blown up LS motor, I really don't think I want to keep this car. I am kind of sour about 240's right now. I have been swapping motors left and right from one car to the next, even dropping KA's in trucks. I just bought a new truck, and it would be nice to put some money from this car into the truck. I can always get another 240 at a later date...
More than likely the timing is off. But I do know that we did not have many ground straps on the car, and it turns over slowly. The previous owner told me that it was the reason he parted out the car. He said he had an SR in the car and it turned over slowly, so he threw a couple random ground straps on the motor, and it speeds up to normal turn over speeds. But then he said there was not any ground signal to the injectors. Well, that was HIS issue. We since then have changed the harnesses, motors, ecu, and everything in the car except the chassis harness, and the fusible link box under the hood. It does turn over slowly, but I have not thrown the ground straps on the car yet. I will do those tomorrow when the sun comes out, or maybe during this coming week.
Title Status: Ok so the title is currently in my posession. However it is in a friends, friends name. This guy sold it to my buddy David, then David never registered the car. David decided to sell it a couple months later and sold it to a guy named Kevin aka Garagelu. Kevin parted out the car and sold me the shell. So there is a bill of sale for each person in line, so that way it can be transferred at the DMV. I have not registered the car because it is not running. If it was, I would have done it already.
Car needs the following:
Clutch pedal assembly
Power steering hard lines
Shifter
Windshield wiper blades
All these parts were on the car, however the car sat at my buddies house and he is kind of special. It seems that when he needs parts, he just pulled them off my car. Pissed me off, but I got the car towed home now so nothing else will turn up missing.
Ok, now that I have drawn this thread out. If you contact me with questions about stuff that I have answered by taking the time to elaborate on everything in this thread, I will probably not respond.
Forgive me...The car is covered with pollen.
1000 bucks or best offer.
