Guest yoshi_v300 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 2JZ-GTE engine (untuned, 280hp, stock. HKS timing belt just done) 82000 KM silkolene 10W50 oil changes way more than needed, new oil filter every time Engine comes with free Toyota Aristo V300 still attached I crashed my car into the barrier on the M6 (standing water, side impact) so the engine is undamaged but the car is uneconomical to repair. I will be taking the twin turbos off the car as spares but if you need 'em, let me know. The car/engine should be ready for sale in 1-2 weeks once I've bought it off the insurers. Offers....?

Robert Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 what other bits do you have from the car? You can stick any aristo specific bits up for sale on the aristo forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your last thread trying to sell this engine before you joined the club you originally said 82,000 with regards the mileage, then edited your post to say 82,000 KM. Now you repost the thread after joining the club and state 82,000 miles - which is it?!? Makes me very sceptical on what this engine has actually covered.... Brian.

Guest yoshi_v300 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 It has covered 82000 KM (typo, duh). The odo is in KM. I have MOT certs if you require which show mileage. If you buy the engine, you receive the car. Just put the key in, turn the ignition to ON and you will see the ODO light up with 82000KM The engine worked 100% before and after the crash and drove onto the hard shoulder afterwards, no problems. I have basically all the other Aristo bits attached to the car like steering rack, brakes blah day blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 what exhaust was on the aristo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yoshi_v300 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 It's the stock Aristo exhaust, but I'm prob.going to keep that for spares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yoshi_v300 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Oh I might add I'll be selling an ARC intercooler too seperately (going back to stock as I'm not going big single anymore). The ARC intercooler is less than a year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 what sort of price is thr ARC going for? and what price are you looking for the whole car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yoshi_v300 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I paid £1100 (discounted!) for the Arc intercooler. I'd be looking for around £500 for it...it comes with a metal catch tank and not the cheap plastic one like HKS. Supposedly ARC make the best ICs in the business, the price definitely said so...lol! I am not sure what I want for the whole car, but if I can - buy the wreck - pay my garage to strip the parts I need - sell the engine/rest of the car - pay my garage to fit the rest of parts to my new aristo and break even, I'd be pretty happy. So I'm only looking for what it's worth/good price for the end user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 join up to http://clubaristo.co.uk, you will sell the ARC for good money there, the end tanks are different to asupra so not sure it will fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 i was thinking it was him, although i didnt see anything on LOC or the aristo club where he is a member. I also thought the car had more mods than what was stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yoshi_v300 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Yeah, I've not posted anything up on the Aristo sites yet as they're not so big on tuning as the Supra guys. Website going thru a 'wee change' right now. All will be explained later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 ah, i see. Sorry to hear about the accident mate. Once you have all the figures sorted out, let me know what you want for the whole car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yoshi_v300 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Cheers man, I'll let you know when I get it all sorted with insurers (asap). I'll maybe post up the accident pics etc. when the dust settles. Basically poor drainage on the M6 caused this accident, even the cops admitted all the water gathered regularly where I went off. 65-70mph is still took fast when the road is a sheet of water, 40mph not a bad speed methinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilMorrison Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I drive pretty mental cars like an idiot on track quite often, but the closest I've ever come to crashing a car was at 60mph on a motorway in my Aristo when hitting standing water. Sorry to hear about your misfortune. Please let me know what your looking for for the complete car . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yoshi_v300 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 :(Cheers Phil, the whole incident was sick. I saw the road was sheet water as I approached a bridge on the M6. I looked at the speedo 110/115km/h and brakes a little before the bridge. The rain went from heavy to ridiculously heavy at that point. Went under the bridge in fast lane, front wheels exited the bridge, back wheels in a river-type thing - car got sideways without warning. Up on the grass, tried to control it.....tried to keep the car straight....bang! Side of the vehicle hit the barrier. Bounced me off but I kept it straight and started braking on the grass soon as I was straight....bit of tarmac on the central reservation was handily there and I braked to full stop on that. No injuries or anything, Aristo one safe car. But it sacraficed itself for me..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr keef Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 could have been a lot worse mate pleased you came through ok:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yoshi_v300 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Cheers Mr Keef. I knew if I over-steered I'd go into a spin or hit the traffic, so just kept it straight...no throttle, brakes. I think any driver not been in that situation before would probably over-steer and brake, then go into some sort of crazy spin = motorway pile up.

dangerous brain Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Had the same thing in my aristo hitting sheet water. I have never felt so helpless in all my driving career. Went on the water and lost all traction on all 4 wheels and just skated across the top of it. Lucky for me I came off the other side pointing straight up the road. I was only doing 50 at the time on the motorway because I didn't like how much water was on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
