Celica GTR 1990 Blown Engine

Postby WCKWGN » Wed Jan 06, 2010 8:11 pm

Hey guys mrs text me on my way home on new years eve and said her engine was funny coming up the drive... sounds as it has crack a piston or crank as the is a definitive clunk. We have a 14 week old girl and where about to sell it to get her a wagon for the baby and a lab.

Do i sell rolling body blown engine as is where is. Reg till Feb 2010 and also wof til feb . Or get another engine and get it installed to wof, sell off ( having to pay for labour to install , oils etc ) or just make it some one elses problem of installing a new motor or rebuilding what is there.

Hopefully one of you has a 3sge or another power plant that you may find this usefull.

What is a rolling body celica worth?? King springs, dual mufflers, 17'' mac fioriono rims, treadsplate floormats in the front.steeling wheel aftermarket, k and n air pod filter,
is currently fitted with sony head unit and 6 x 9 in the rear. have modded inside doors for 15cm speakers with moulds. can take inside pics later open as to wether it is sold with stereo components or not. will take the momo titanium gear knob off tho and will supply a alternative knob.

Some panels where repainted as they had oxidized over the years. As a twenty year old car is showing the signs up close tho. Still pretty tidy example tho.

History of the ride

I was the previous owner and transferred to the mrs.

Look forward to the advice guys or pm me if you are interested in it as the wedding is in three weeks and i want it gone from the back door where we park. Car located in Waitati. Dunedin. Just gave a quick clean over missed a couple of spots

A gen 2 3S-GE is what, 3-500 bucks on trademe? Plus freight of where ever you find one, plus IDK how much to fit/replace, say $500, plus maybe clutch, cam belt etc needed on new engine.... and worth maybe 2500 (not bad km's), I reckon with bubs etc save your self the stress, you might make a bit of a loss, but not a huge one by just flicking it as is.

Flick it as is, Man, If I had some spare coin I'd take it off your hands, would be great for replacement parts if I needed em for my project car.

I'd strongly suggest flicking or parting out, but with bub's / wedding etc, It would be a time sink.

Good Luck

yeah i thought of parting it out but dont have the access to a garage to store it in to do so. living with the in laws at the moment and has impala and a boat in there so i got no chance of getting him to move one out.

What do u guys think to do. Sell was thinking of TM $1000 reserve and just take what i get but at least have a small return to use for something. Would love to see toyspeeder take this and make it there joy. was a mint car to drive the 4ws and low sitting was primo in the corners. prefer it to my gtt in the corners with no body roll. will take some pics of the interior tommorow and throw them on to show ya.

If you wanna give a text 0273 329 828

peace
