by d_generate on 06-09-07 01:56 PM I bought this the other day, MY01, owner was doing 150 down the freeway belching flames & slightly pizzed so it's got a defect notice & blown motor ( new motor had only been in there for 1 day, spiked & melted a piston ) comes with Link, 550 injectors, really good quality front mount, Teins, 3" SS TBE, Apexi pod & AFM holder, 3 Defi guages & controller, nice 18's with 2 brand new pirelli's, shaved boot, STI headlights, Crystal tail lights & nearly all the original bits like, computer, top mount, struts etc, like new on the inside & only 1 tiny ding on the outside, full log books, just done 100k ................................... so just got to find a motor, take the 5%tint off, guages out, & put it back to stock, I'll be selling a lot of the stuff off to offset the cost of the motor & pit inspection, not too bad for 16.5g

by d_generate on 06-09-07 03:27 PM Yeah, I've got a few bits & cars to get rid of but this will be the easiest, when I work out prices the Teins which he just spent over1g getting re conditioned with recipts, Defi's & controller, Apexi , Zorst, Link & 550's & Front mount will be going as I'll be putting it back to stock mechanically but keeping it looking the same. then I might drive it for a while & get rid of it but the Gen 2 will be staying. |

by d_generate on 06-09-07 03:42 PM Yeah it's a shame to get rid of it but I'll try swapping with someone who has a std bumper or take it out & mesh the gap, it's gotta go over the pits so it has to go pretty much back to stock, I don't want or like the hassles of after market computers & it would be too laggy with the TD04. |

by d_generate on 07-09-07 02:08 AM I gave JWS a call but nothing till next week (6 containers landing) I've got a perfect block in the shed so if the crank isn't shagged I'll probably just re build this one, it has a melted piston & well scored No 1 bore, find out on Mon when we split the block, or I can wait 4 - 6 weeks for a brand new short 207 STI block with gaskets for $3,300ish, just gotta weigh up the best options. |

by b4bullet on 07-09-07 04:49 PM IMO the Bug eyed rex has the nicest interior, the other seem a bit cheap and plasticy |

by d_generate on 07-09-07 06:10 PM Yeah I didn't really have a good look till I got it home, it's got the STI gear surround which really sets it off, even the standard in dash 6 stack CD player looks ok. |

Yeah, it'll still look much the same but I hate aftermarket computers, the zorst won't pass pits & it melts the rear bumper (it will have a cannon once it's gone over the pits) the guages are illegal where they are and pointless on a standard motor (rather they went to a car that needs them) the tint is 5% so that has to come off & be replaced, the front mount is way too big for a TD04 & as I will be putting the stock computer back in it would be a pig with that & zorst without a flash, the bottom end is totally rooted (you should see the piston & bore) & the heads will have to be re done, the drivers side needs re painting as it has a different coloured front door & the rear has been keyed so selling off the bits should hopefully cover a lot of the cost of getting it legal again & my son may end up buying it off me, one good thing is it will have Spec C pistons in the new motor & low's once it's finished.....But .....It will be legal P.S. You did a great job on making an ordinary looking car into a really sweet looking piece of machinery. But nobody seemed to want it so I guess you gotta accept what's happening to it. |

Haven't yet but will do soon & post it up. EDIT, just took some before I forget & throw it away. Bakks, from what I understand the later model Subi computers don't re learn like say the one in my V3 STI motor, therefore don't take too kindly to mods, I noticed the highest power run was only 127 atw, it was either the No 1 injector dieing or the computer giving it a huge spike but had it been running properly it wouldn't have died, weird how the thing was re built & tuned before he picked it up & it lasted less than 200 kilometers, you'd think the heads would have fresh machine marks as he was charged for it too but they look pretty grubby to me, something not right but......................well over 4g in newish short motor & re build, your car & license up the crapper in one day.:russian_r PIST N BROKE ![]()
