Callan Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Hi guys, well i thought id help you out, if youve seen my mates old 2 tone 1990 gt on ebay for £2275, youd be right in thinking its a rip off...which it isMy mate sold it to a guy from sheffield for £1000 while i was on hol and thought it was going to be sorted, he was happy as he made more money than he thought ,a day later it was on ebay for £2275the car is a bad heavy repaired write off on the front chassis leg, the weld was so shit i could pull it off with my hand( i have a pic somewhere) and has major engine problems and a few more problems like electrical, te bonnet shut is snapped and the bonnet doesnt safely close, the pas pump bracket is bodged etc.If youve told your mate or your thinking about looking at it..dont even bother, its only cause now is to be broken for spares as i was intending to do. its a shame as it was once a cool car ,now a death trapheres the linkhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-starlet-gt-tu...86.c0.m14.l1318has my MINT ported manifold on it too goddamit!! warning to all of you Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starletraje Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 now im not big on forced induction knowledge, but if you follow the pipe from the trubo to the IC... is there a big circular hole in the pipe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Love Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Oval hole ? or a self made hole Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 The hole is where the standard bov should be, they could've at least blocked that up.But since it doesn't even have an air filter it doesn't really matter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starletraje Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 nightspirit just explained it to me, its not on the boost side, but still not good to have, but i guess if he doesnt have an air filter it wont really matter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Callan Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 it has no air filter no,as it had a shitty chav restrictive thing on it, so he asked me to take it off for him and mesh his turbo which was already done to my ct9 that went on. it should be declared off the road to be honest and brken for bits, i cant see how some ones passed it in a motthe doors lock them selves, the alrm randomly goes off and its a really anoying one, the battery is held down with 2 leads, its a tatty car, was clean when my mate had it back in early 07 (sold it to a chav then bought it back) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Not a bad looking car in all honesty, but looking at that bay you can tell somethings up Thanks for the heads up, imagine someone off here bought that and crashed and got badly injured or even killed because its unsafe Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starletraje Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 how can they claim fresh import... its had at least 3 previous owners in this country... which will show on the logbook Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SpeedFreak Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Did he not manage to sell it?Or did someone else buy it, realise it was a death trap and decide to rip someone else of like they got and sell it on??I would never sell a car like that to someone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ricky@Race-Tech Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 it has no air filter no,as it had a shitty chav restrictive thing on it, so he asked me to take it off for him and mesh his turbo which was already done to my ct9 that went on. it should be declared off the road to be honest and brken for bits, i cant see how some ones passed it in a motthe doors lock them selves, the alrm randomly goes off and its a really anoying one, the battery is held down with 2 leads, its a tatty car, was clean when my mate had it back in early 07 (sold it to a chav then bought it back)None of the above is on the MOT thats probably why it passed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
