Mike_trx Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) Year: 1996Model: EP91 - ManualTax: Don't be silly ( Currently on a SORN)MOT: Expires 19th JulyMileage: 218,288KmDescription: This was my daily for the last 9 years. I bought this in good condition many moons ago, and had it through various turbo set ups and stages, from the CT9, to a CT9 Hybrid with a top mount, through to it's current set up sitting with a VF10 turbo, screamer pipe, front mount and on a JAM Ecu. The time has come to get rid of it, as I had the choice to spend lots of money on it getting it back up to a good condition with more mods, or to get something a little different and newer for the daily commute to work. I chose the latter, so now it's sitting doing nothing outside and someone may want to use it for a track car, strip it down or even buy it to take a few bits off it. If this doesn't sell whole, most of it will be scrapped as I don't have a garage or driveway to keep it whilst it's in pieces. Unfortunately this car is very rough body wise, mainly due to 3 theft attempts and 4 occasions of bad vandalism. Nearly every body panel has damage or rust on it, hence the battered condition in the title. That being said, the engine and gearbox are still in great condition, and the car was running great up until the night I took it off the road to collect my new car. It's sad to see it go, but I can't keep it where I live and someone may want a cheap turbo'd toy to play in. The car definately needs some TLC, and this would be far better suited to a project or stripping than anything else. The mods:TA Technix front coilovers from a MK2 golf on TRD EP91 springs with TRD Top mounts - Also got standard dampers in good condition with Tein springs and worn Cusco Top mounts as spares as these are stiff as hellStandard rear dampers with Tein lowering springs15 inch Rota Auto X wheels with Rainsport 3 tiresBoth engine mounts PolybushedGearbox mount PolybushedFront anti roll bar poly bushedExedy OEM Replacement clutchBlitz Nurspec R full exhaustWalbro 255 fuel pumpUprated TRD HT LeadsAir Con removedSolid style shifter bearingsPCV drilled out for breatherThick core front mount intercooler from the CJ Performance group buyVF10 Subaru Turbo - Rotated and wastegate welded shutEbay Wastegate with 0.75 springCustom mild steel tubular manifold with external wastegate welded on - from 5e ColinCustom made stainless screamer pipe - Exits at downpipe pointing towards the road, sounds immenseCivic Aluminium triple core radaitor with uprated fanCustom made earthing kitJAM EP91 ecu - Fuelling checked at 1 bar and it was spot on, all seals intact, never openedGizzmo MS-IBC Boost controller - 6 settings for boost, scramble feature availableGirlfriend friendly bubble style JDM gearknobSpeaker pods mounted in door panels, tweeters in A pillarsLater spec parcel shelf with speakers fittedCat 1 alarm with certificate for insurance proofDisclock steering lock with 2 keysTeam Ebay wind deflectorsWorn out fake carbon TRD bonnet scoopComes with a 96 shape parcel shelf, random spare HT leads and Idle Control Valves, and two great condition front wishbones The bad points: Front wings damaged, keyed, rustyBonnet not straight thanks to some old git with no brakelightsFront bumper recieved a meeting with a saw to fit front mount, and then refused to give me my numberplate back thanks to Halfords super dooper sticky plate thingsDriver door kicked, lock attacked with a screwdriver, door pried at topSmall rust patch showing behind left sideskirtRear arches showing rust on the underside facesPassenger door lock filled in with metal epoxy - found half a screwdriver in it one night, would rather the screwdriver was half in the little shits head that tried to steal itPassenger door keyedPassenger rear quarter keyed and hit with something small and pointy, maybe the thieves small member?Lower rear spoiler looks like its hiding something rusty behind it, scared to look, so didn't lookBootlid lock never worked, has a button to open it so never bothered fixing itDrivers seat well worn, really needs a new oneCar needs hoovered, or set on fire...suggest the hoover optionTwo front tires low on the insides, as a guess it's probably because I was a hooligan and gave it the beans a lot, but that's just a guess?Exhaust had a meeting with a speedbump, it didn't go well. Downpipe is a bit flat where it should be roundExhaust had resonator removed before I bought it, replacement has turned to rust and pretty much not attached, main reason for not wanting to work on it and taking it off the roadWishbone bushes are getting soft, bought two replacement arms with good bushes to poly bush, but then bought another car...decision making 1 - planning 0Battery has since decided it gives zero fucks since taking it off the road, maybe needs a good trickly charge, maybe needs thrown in a bush (Taken responsibly to your local battery collection centre or garage)Side skirts look like something from a russian offroad instagram pageFront crankshaft seal weeps, doesn't loose oil badly but should probably be replacedBack wheels have no paint on the red lip for some reason, fronts didn't peel at all. Suffers slight rim leaks due to thisCar ideally needs trailored away due to exhaust gasses from the break and dodgy battery, but can be driven at your peril and choice of earplugsPaint overall not bad, still looks pretty clean when washed from a distance...in the dark...in the wet...after 3 pints... This car has been fantastic, and hasn't let me down bar a failed fuel pump at one stage. Compression was checked at time of fitting the VF10 kit, showing within 5 psi across the board. Timing belt, water pump and oil pump done in the last 30k miles. At 1 bar, it pulls strong as hell, and like many people with slightly tweaked Glanzas and GT Turbos it ruined the day of a lot of cocky drivers in cars worth much much more. It is truly a beater now, but it can still hold its own with some TLC and will still bring a smile to your face with the noise and power on boost. This is not a cheap Glanza by any means, but a beater to do with what you like. I contemplated just making it a rust look rat Starlet, but I thought it would be too hard to sell in that style...im so funny. Please don't waste my time with this though, it's as honest above as it can be. This was sold and going away, but the 2 gentlemen in question wasted my time and never turned up. Another person is supposedly saving some cash and wants it, but I need it gone and can't keep it here forever. Car is based in Edinburgh, Scotland, and sitting there if anyone wants to come and look whether im there or at work. Please look with the intention of trailoring away. Price: £1400 with JAM ecu, £1000 Price dropped to £1250 with the JAM ECU, £800 with the stock in it if you have your own mapable or PNP ECU to put in instead (must be driven off boost carefully with the stock ecu) - Price is negotiable as I need it gone, but it's not going for free.Pictures:Contact Details: Please PM on here, as I can't answer my phone at work and my shifts are all over the place right now.

Can't afford to buy it but had good fun reading your 'bad bits' part. So here's a free bumpHa, thanks very much! You would make more money breaking the car.I know, but I don't have a garage or a driveway to keep this in bits. It's been broken into and vandalised enough without it sitting on 4 axle stands and missing various parts. Im not really after a huge amount of money, would just rather it got used.
