Hi all,
Relisting my car due to an unfortunate issue with the "new owner" of a day and a transmission failure. Long story short, new owner, breaks the transmission, can't fix it himself, I take the car back the next day. It set a lot of plans back, gave me tons of undue stress, and I lost more money than I can even want to know due to it these last two months.
Regardless, the transmission has been replaced, only issue is there is a very *slight* grind going into 4th gear, all other gears up/down shift fine. I've filled it with Redline MT90 and have only put about 40 miles on it since it's been fixed.
Here is my story from the previous post about the car.
**I purchased it a while back, and it sat in storage between 2008 - 2011 because of school and the 20v water pump started to leak. During 2011, I slowly started to throw money at it starting with a Silvertop 20v,Blacktop intake/ecu/wiring and the proper swap components (distributor relocation and 16v water pump), then exhaust, rear bumper, small engine add ons and suspension parts, I got it running at the end of 2011. I primarily used the car for autocrossing during 2012 up til now and have not driven it much on the street aside from occasionally putting around with it on the weekends every other week (I used to switch between this and my old Mini - but I use the Mini more now).**
Here are the specs.
20 valve "silver top" block (timing belt replaced at swap, cams and front seals replaced).
"Black top" intake, ecu, and "kouki" wiring harness.
T3 Velocity Stacks.
TRD 4-1 exhaust manifold.
Custom 2 1/4" under diff exhaust.
SP-Tec distributor relocation kit.
RS Chita water line kit (uses 16v pump for easy replacement).
Koyo Radiator.
Straight pipe.
Fuel pump replaced in 2011.
Tokico HTS all around.
Ground Control coil overs up front.
T3 NCRCA
TRD springs in the rear.
Tein camber plates.
T3 5-link & negative camber roll center adjusters.
OEM LSD.
MR2 manual rack with T3 donut.
Brake booster replaced in 2011.
OEM pizza cutters with tires mounted and balanced.
Clean dashboard (no cracks!).
Sparco Sprint x 2.
Sabelt harnesses.
Autopower rollbar.
Levin early model front-end.
Damaged carbonfiberglass seibon hood.
OEM later model rear bumper.
Modified LED corner lights (signal/parking).
Pioneer receiver.
Rear is gutted, but I have seats and side panels.
Clean title, 275K on chassis.
SMOG was last handled on June 20th, it is valid til the 18th of SEPTEMBER (90 days).
Pictures are available here: Corolla 9/3/13 - Imgur (http://imgur.com/a/Em9bi)
Cons: No a/c and heat, the hood was damaged when it came up on me during a drive thus cracking the windshield in the process (check pics), driver's side fender looks like crap, Levin headlights are mix and match, rear hatch leaks when introducing water to it a bit (needs new seals), sun roof is clearly rusted and but works with some persuasion. Wipers don't work since I used a kouki 20v harness on a zenki car (should be a simple rewire job).
The car was made to be driven on track/autox/canyon, not to be shown off, though I have put it into classic car shows for fun and people liked it for some reason (it was the only Japanese car there). I have put over 5K miles on the swap since I finished it at the end of 2011 and it has only given me one issue under my ownership- when the ignitor went out at the end of November 2012 - it was replaced and has been running fine ever since. I explained the transmission fault above, it was not under my ownership but did replace it with a used unit from an SR5. I have FULL records/receipts since I've owned the car, though I have done pretty much 99% of the work.
Here is the fuelly page for those interested: Corolla GTS (Toyota Corolla) | Fuelly (http://www.fuelly.com/driver/nervgs/corolla)
Reason for selling is now I am VERY TIRED of this car and would like to move on. I also have too many projects and need to focus on the next thing.
Asking price is $6,500 OBO. Only thing I will remotely trade for is a BONE STOCK 94/95 Miata + cash.
NOT PARTING OUT.
Thanks,
