AlexM Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I'm weighing up my options due to yet another problem with this car, interested in what others feel this would be worth (I don't think it's a lot). Engine Specifications: Stock 2JZ-GE (low pressure on cylinder 5) Fuel, Tuning & ECU: Stock Exhaust: Stock Drivetrain: W58 5 speed manual Locked diff SPEC Stage 1 Clutch Weight Reduction & Transfer: Interior removed from rear half of car Carpet removed 1316kg without driver & 1/2 tank of fuel Suspension, Wheels, Tires & Brakes: Stock 17" alloys Stock toyota-bilstein coilovers Stock 2pot/1pot brakes Goodrich braided lines CW Fast Road pads Goodyear F1 tyres Interior & ICE: Stock seats/dash/surround remain ICE removed Exterior: Stock plastics, not the best fit. Rust on the edges of the doors and a spot on the boot. Car has had a spray over, there are dents under the paint and marks from where the previous body kit has worn the paint away. Performance: Non-existent at the minute Other: Engine has new spark plugs/cam belt, and new water pump attached - could be re-used on a replacement engine Thanks for your time.

JamieP Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 With a knacked engine not much id say, with how cheap them lumps can be picked up for it may be better to bung another in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 £200 Behave, he would get that for the 17" wheels alone. Ill give you £250 for her:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 In the current state, not a lot mate I woulnd't like to say a price as it would be very low. With a knacked engine not much id say, with how cheap them lumps can be picked up for it may be better to bung another in. Yep, you can get NA engines for a £100-£250 so it'd be far more cost effective to drop one in, clean it up a bit and sell it for market value.

Jezz Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Is this the one thats at Silverstone at the moment? Suspect missfire? I drove it yesterday to try and get it to missfire, and it wouldnt. Tried everything. Was actually quite impressed by how it drove! Unless the guys have found something today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 Is this the one thats at Silverstone at the moment? Suspect missfire? I drove it yesterday to try and get it to missfire, and it wouldnt. Tried everything. Was actually quite impressed by how it drove! Unless the guys have found something today? That's the one. Steve said he'd had some trouble getting it to act up, but found that the pressure was low on the 5th cylinder. It's the usual case when you take it to a garage! I've only heard the misfire when it's hot & idling. It just tends to lack power or feel completely wrong above 4,000rpm, though sometimes goes perfectly. Definitely not right. It does handle very nicely, just getting sick of putting money into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Its a shame but the car does sound like it has seen better days, and with the current market I guess you would be looking at breaking it for more than its worth as it is, £750 as a complete car IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kslb Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I would guesstimate £500 due to some of the interior missing etc and the body work issues. Cheap enough to chuck a new lump in and run on the track maybe, but sounds like getting it suitable for road use and a car to be proud of would be expensive. Good luck if you do sell, I would imagine ebay would be good for this motor to reach it's full potential value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
