terawua Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Dont know if anyone wants one of these, but it seems a bargain to me as it looks like it is an engine with loom (VVT-i) and gearbox http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8030682856&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 this was the same person selling a turbo kit a while back and everyone thought it was a scam. ive emailed him to see if i can pick the engine up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terawua Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 Well yeah, it does seem mighty cheap.... but I assumed the price was going to rocket with a load of watchers putting in last minute bids. I deffo would also be asking to come collect and pay cash post inspection (i.e. checking the internals were still there!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I confidently bid £1225 for it with 10 seconds to go, the bidding was at £920 at the time. Imagine my surprise ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I was thinking I could put this ebay engine in my VVTi and keep the engine I've been building for my grey car. And sell the gearbox on to get some money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 No problem. He was willing to pay more than me. I didn't want it for £1600 I'm supposed to be going to scotland next week anyway so it might have worked out well. Nevermind - I don't really need it.

toyotasuprauk Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Wow £1626, thats a lot of money for a used engine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 That guy 98mkiv on SF is the one that had a go at me for trying to help him out....so I'D DEFINATELY NOT HELP HIM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Wow £1626, thats a lot of money for a used engine! Depends if it's any good. For a complete engine and box I'd say it's pretty good. No idea what they'd go for in Japan mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terawua Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 Yeah I would pay that for an engine loom and box... ideal transplant for an N/A for someone with a bit of wrench time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Maybe, who cares? Either way it didn't 'stuff' or affect me in the least. I bid what I was prepared to pay but it sold for a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 *UPDATE* The £1626.50 winner (98mkiv) didn't go ahead with the sale because it seemed like a scam. Seller wanted Western Union payment etc. It's since been relisted here and again here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terawua Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 yeah I spotted that too... so wouldnt he take cash on collection or did the buyer not have the means to come and collect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
