Exterior Color : White, Black Hood and Roof.
Interior Color : Black
Auto or Manual? : 5 Speed Manual
Odometer Reading : 225,000+ Km
Location of Vehicle : Daily Driven in Calgary. SW to be exact.
Mods:
-Tokico Illumina shocks (still work, but I've put miles into these and I've never had luck with them.. just a warning)
-Fensport Front springs w/ approx 250lb/in (kinda ghetto with my droop-limiting straps)
-Coilover sleeve with 2.5" ID 350lb spring 7" long in the rear
-Super long wheel studs.
-battery relocated to the front
-Eibach camber bolts up front
-Removed EGR
-Throttle cable simplified. (MR2 owners would know what I'm talking about)
-custom exhaust utilizing mandrel bends (everything after the manifold)
-Will come with somewhat worn winter tires on 14x6's
-Will come with stock springs that you can swap in should you decide to do so
-Will come with 4x 15mm and 4x 20mm hub centric spacers :( <- took a while to source these so I could fine tune and setup for entry or exit oversteer
-Will come with some front springs for Suspension Techniques kit I found at the junkyard.
Description :
-Cracked windshield (but this passed inspection last year, though I don't guarantee it will this year)
-Missing top windshield trim. Lost it somewhere in Crowchild.
-Has crapass "weeping" paintjob (read, lots of RUNS!)
-Front end accident history repaired with BFG and BTR (big eFfin hammer and Big thickass rod)
-the rust that the paintjob used to hide is now peeking out. so no secrets there
-absolutely intact floorpan, (save for a dent where previous owner tried to jack it up) as in no rust there!
-Clutch is getting old, but no slips yet (I'm a clutch baby-er)
-Starter catches a bit on cold startups
-Engine misses for the first ten turns on 0 and below startups
-Suggest warming up engine for a while on 0 and below startups
-Engine charges to redline no problem.
-Oil consumption is at 1.5L per 4000km
-Doesn't blow blue unless at high vacuum conditions such as sudden liftoff at High RPM (see photo where I enter slalom)
-No fifth gear popout and no grinds in tranny.
-Overall drives AWESOME!

Extras :
-Will come with extra red Early model bumper (similar to the one in the car right now as opposed to the pointier later 87-89 model ones)
-Two Straight Fenders L-R(one red, one white)
-two straight front valences L-R coloured silver
-MR2 radiator
-Extra rear control arms and strut rod (the ones that locate caster). You might wonder why I have this? Because The Later models are rarer in the junkyards. Because of what I use the car for (autox, rallyX and other... stuff. ahem) I thought spares would be nice. The fronts are shared with the early 85-86 model ones, so those are sourced easily from the junkyards.
-Front hood latch mechanism (right now I use hood pins)
**As is, the car doesn't even need these. It is DAILY DRIVER right now like I said. Lights move up and down fine. I passed safety inspection a year ago.
Price as described: $1400
This is the car that some of you may have seen me campaigning for the past 5 years with the CSCC. Time to let go.
This would make an awesome car to campaign in the winter autocross; guaranteed to develop those ninja like reflexes like it did for me ;) You will become god of opposite lock.
As a restorable project, it also isn't out of the question. Why do you think I would have gathered all those parts if I didn't think it were? Reason for selling really is that I need a change.
