testing waters: F/S s14.5

[statik]

Well, I still haven't decided what to do with her yet...:wtc:

The bad:
I blew the ring in the #2 cylinder, car runs fine, just cant hold boost, engine needs a rebuild, but driveable.

the car was involved in 2 accidents, one in may of 04 where someone t-boned the driver side rear quarter at low speeds, entire rear quarter was replaced, the second happend in april of this year when an suv pulled out into me doing about 45mph, front passenger side was fucked up, broke the headlight, fender, snapped a solid tension rod and the LCA (both were replaced), scratched up rim, NO damage to anything in the engine bay at all.

The good:

4 brand new infinity speakers (forgot what kind, but theyre really good =])
10" mtx, all run off 2 amps
JDM gauge cluster w/ 260kmh speedo *not installed

Whats wrong with it:

Enthalpy tune is not perfect, idles kinda rough when cold, but the car runs perfect, can be made much better with an SAFC and some dyno tuning
scratch along passenger door to gas cap, front part of each door should be repainted as they were chipped during s15 installed due to my laziness(all scratches/chips were filled with touch up paint so u can only see them when u examine the car)

looking to get 9k for it as a whole but reasonable offers will be considerd, not thinking about parting it yet so dont bother asking for shit :wtc:

[the240sxer95]

ow, what a deal. bump for an awesome car.

[smellslikecurry]

bump for a nice guy...definitely worth it

[Mustangs Suck]

So all this car needs is a new ring in the #2 piston, and then a dyno tune for it run and drive perfect?

[statik]

indeed, but honestly the tune only needs help when cruising, seems like at certain throttle its not getting enough fuel, at WOT the car runs PERFECT, the idle problem/cruising problem could just be a bad O2, but im not sure yet

[Mustangs Suck]

How much could I get new rings for, and where? (I know there are tons of websites dealing with the SR, but maybe you know of a good/cheaper one) I'm currently trying to sell my KA-T 240 and get a SR'd one, and fuck is yours BEAUTIFUL, but I don't want to get it, and find out it needs a $4000 engine rebuild.

[Mustangs Suck]

or I could trade you my KA-T hatch hehe, but you're probably not lookin' for another turbo 240.

[fastasssr20]

does it have a rebuild title or was it only a partial loss on the vehicles total value let me know and was it fixed by a reputable shop.

[statik]

im sorry but after checking out a few other new cars I decided that nothing I could buy stock will compare to my car =], im gonna buy a daily driver and rebuild the motor myself, an admin can lock this thread if they see it

hehe, probably a wise decision - your 240 is too gorgeous to let go in my opinion.

good luck with her :)

[smellslikecurry]
