Modified mk2 N/A engine problems

Post by andyc1988 »

Hi
had some engine problems with my n/a a while back and have decided to sell the car as is with the engine knocking, the local garage has said the engine would need replacing which I dont have the time too sort out.its a

1990 mr2 none turbo
86,983 km not miles
exhausts uk custom twin exhaust system with decat pipe
clifford alarm with insurance certificate
autopista rear spoiler
veilside side skirts
border bumper
after market steering wheel
hks mushroom filter
17inch alloys (could do with refurb) but good tyres tread on 4 tyres
tinted quater panels and rear window
colour coded door strips

before the engine went I had various things done including
new alternator
cambelt change
new droplinks
new ball joint
new handbrake cables

There is a dent on the front left hand side where someone at morrisons reversed into me! :twisted: its not major and I have a new wing which will come with the car a local garge quoted around 150 for the job. Ive loved the car to bits and have spent my fair share of money on it but its just sitting there taking up my front garden. I was hoping to get around 500 pounds for the car any question please ask. (there are some pictures in my garage)
and I live in Grimsby North east lincolnshire

you can start her over fine and it will move, but it seems to lose power when trying to drive it not to mention the knocking noise which is horrific so I wouldnt like to try driving it for more than 10 seconds as she sounds in pain! :shock: the tax has also sadly run out but its a great car
