$1600 OBO
Little backstory
I bought this car in 2002 with the intent to turn it into a track rat / race car later on. I daily drove it and tracked it a few times until the engine finally lost the #2 connecting rod bearing and had to be rebuilt at ~200K miles. Shortly after the engine rebuild it got mostly stripped and partly caged, coil overs, harnesses and spent its time as a street legal track toy. Life moves on and now I don’t have the time to get it back running and enjoy it.
It’s been sitting in the garage for quite a long time (~5 years), driven only every few months before the engine failure (timing chain cam sprocket came loose…).
~205,000 miles (odo inaccurate / ~5 percent slow due to tire sizing)
Stock KA24E
Engine rebuilt about 6 years ago after purchased (miles were ~196k when I bought it and car was stock all around)
Rebuilt engine has(had) about 4000 miles on it (with track time, daily driving and fun driving)
“Upgrades”
Adjustable coil over suspension and lowered (maybe ground control kit, not sure I remember anymore..)
Back half of an SCCA legal cage installed by Piper Motorsports (VA)
5 point harnesses although likely past past their life
Borla stainless steel exhaust in good condition
Speed governor removed with APEXi rev/speed meter installed
A/C completely removed - external and internal components
Dual electric fans wired up with internal switch (manual operation right now, needs attention)
Mostly stripped, sound deadening, no back seat and most interior removed
Still has dash, door panels, center console parts mostly intact
Removed center vent with 3 gauge panel in place - oil gauge mounted but needs attention
Pioneer stereo and Boston Acoustics 5x4 speakers - nothing special but has tunes!
Extra parts
8 tear drop wheels hanging around (included if wanted)
Mounted 15inch “5 stars” of unknown brand. Currently mounted 225/50/16 but need to be replaced (old)
Non engine stuff wrong
Rear hatch rust holes from spoiler mounts, attempted to fix myself with fiberglass and bondo/paint finishing but needs a replacement or sheet metal welding - rust was cut out but holes are pretty big
Rust under right rear fender / wheel well - was cut out and closed up with stainless steel tape as a temporary fix
A bit of rust around front shock towers in the usual spots
Some rust through on drivers side floor, may need some attention (rust grinding + welding)
Why is it not running?
Timing chain sprocket bolt came loose while driving ~30mph
1 and 2 exhaust valves bent and slight marks in pistons
Planned on removing all unnecessary equipment related to emissions, replacing the 2 valves and putting it back together with emissions stripped and see how to goes
Engine is apart, block and trans still in place, head is off in a box with rest of the removed parts in boxes as well
Contact via email if interested, more picture request or questions.
