Rev 2 T-Bar TURBO (black) CHEAP!! **£2500**

Post by Steve W2 »

Okay peeps, you can grab yourselves a bargain here. I'm selling my car as I'm moving to Australia and obviously won't be taking it with me.

The car is a 1992 GT-S T-Bar Turbo and is in very good condition, the car was imported into the country in January 2002 and the first owner was my best mate. He has spent all the money on the car whenever it was required without thought for cost. As such all receipts since it has been imported are available. I will edit this post when I have a minute to detail what they are and how much was spent.

I have owned the car for a few months and have spent some pennies on it myself as well, general spec is as follows:

1992 Rev 2 GT-S Turbo in Astral Black
127,000 Documented KM's (79,000 miles)
Recaro Seats (optional factory ones)
Fujitsubo Giken twin 3.5" Exhaust with decat
Apex'i Power air filter
Apex'i SAFC - Old Type (Not Fitted to Car)
Apex'i AVC Type R Boost Contoller - Old Type (Not fitted to Car)
MOMO Tuner Steering wheel
MOMO Gear Knob
Smoked front idicators with almost a complete set as spare and originals
Smoked side repeaters
Neil Turbo Sub Box with 10" Sub (Passenger side)
Audiolightning 150.2 Amplifier
New GM Knock Sensor fitted by 3S
Aircon will be regassed before sale (or appropriate discount given)
Air freshner :mrgreen:
T-Bar sun shields and storage bags also with the car.
Clifford Concept 300 Alarm/Immobiliser, with both fobs, instructions and fitting certificate.

7 months MOT, 1 month Tax

Service/Receipt histoy as follows:

29/07/06 Remove/replace knock sensor and remove SAFC £200
16/05/06 Side repeaters purchased £17.94
11/05/06 Supply and fit new rear brake pads £50.07
11/05/06 New OEM gear gaiter purchased £21.29
07/06/04 Headgasket, cambelt, bolts and cambelt done @ 119331 Km £871.23
12/12/03 New rear Yokohama tyres £85.00
12/02/03 2 Yokohama tyres and tracking £170.00
14/12/02 cambelt, waterpipes, idle belt, timing belt, heater pipe and rocker gasket replaced @ 97315Km £1086.82
31/10/02 New plugs, leads, distributor cap, rotor arm, oil and fuel filter supplied £182.71
29/01/02 2 Goodrich tyres £96.00
24/01/02 Original puchase receipt @ 81,200 Km £5,828.00

As I'm an honest chap I will highlight the following small issues with car, I will take some pictures and post them up if I can, if not I can email them to people as required:

Small vertical dent approx 2" long approx (damn those bushes) in the centre of boot lid, still works perfectly fine - could do with another one for £50.

Touched up scratch on drivers side rear quarter panel, touch up isn't the best, and could be done again better. Can't see that costing more than £50-£70 to get sorted by a pro.

Now the good bit, I'm asking £2500 for the car, offers welcome, but don't be offended if I refuse [-(

The car currently has a problem showing the knock sensor as on the diagnostic (although it isn't), 3S have looked at it and also confirmed it's not the ECU. They need the car back to sort it properly, so the car won't be available unit AFTER 3rd October which is the earliest 3S can fit me in.

OR

Alternatively, you can have a bash at sorting it yourself and take the car for £2100. Collection whenever you like. The car runs fine, but in safe mode due to the fault. This might only take 3S or yourself an hour to sort and you could save some serious pennies!! The discount I've given for this would allow you 10 hours work at 3S, an MR2 specialist, to sort the problem :-0

Let me know peeps, sorry for the long email :oops:

Im very intrested in this, the timing could be good as well as I need to sell my car first (should'nt take long courtesy of Ebay!).
If you could get the problem with the knock sensor sorted first then I'd really like to take a look at it. I live in Somerset (Salisbury area) so not far from you.
If you could keep me posted with the situation I'd be most grateful :D

Cheers
Andy

Not a problem Andy, if it's not sold beforehand I'll post up when it's sorted, and we can go from there.

There has been a fair bit of interest, understandably, most people want to wait until the knock sensor problem is sorted.

There isn't a fixed date as such, although I'm planning to leave the country at the end of October, so at least a week or so before then at the latest.

Okay, car is now boosting and will sorted by the end of today, tomorrow at the latest.

For all those interested, you were right to hang on and not take it cheap. I don't know how much it's costing but it would be more thatn £400 discount I gave for taking it not working :oops:

The problem turned out to be the oil feed line to the turbo had carbonised and stop enough getting to the bearings. Consequently the turbo had seized and cam timing jumped 2 teeth.

So the spare turbo I had is now fitted to the car, meaning the car doesn't come with a spare turbo anymore (not a working one anyway!).

There were a few people interestd, so first person with £2500 takes it away 8) :roll:

Just to add the recent repair work cost me £455. The old turbo will be supplied with the car but the exhaust side turbine blabe is missing as it was spat out the exhaust.

I also have £40 worth of Mobil 1 oil that will be supplied with the car, I bought 2 last time I changed the oil, and don't need this one yet.
