white-gt Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) Item Condition:Used but good, Mileage is 144760 KPH which is about 89,900MilesPrice & Conditions: £1900Item Description:Here we have my poor GT that i bought back in febI bought her from a chap on here, but unfortunately she wasn't as described but as i drove such a distance to get her i figured for the right price i could make it work..When i bought it, the gears where crunching and a lot of other issues that i wasn't aware of at the time but he did tell me piston 3 was replaced along with the head gasket and piston rings etc.When i got it home i contacted iain from CRD who has worked on my previous car so i could take it to him and let him do the work needed to at least make it road legal!When he got it the following was done:Compression test: 180PSI across all 4.Rear driver side reverse light re-wiredFront fog lights re-wired and new bulbs fittedIntercooler bolts replacedRear fog light fitted and re-wired with switchGearbox refurbished with 2nd/3rd syncros and 4th/5th selectors replaced.Gearbox fluid replacedOil change with filterCoolant changed with Toyota red stuffToyota dot 5.1 clutch fluid and bledRear engine mount replacedNGK irradium grade 7 plugs fittedFront and rear wipers replacedNew seat belt seat clipRear wiper motor refurbishedDrivers window motor replacedTotal was £573 (receipt here)Iain has also replaced a gear selector cable, rear pads, done another oil change. (massive thanks to Iain and his dad for all the massive work)I have also replaced the turbo with a ct9B from iain which has no play or smoke (been on for a few months but i always look for smoke on over run and idle, this gives non)Other work done on my car by a good friend Jezza(from on here )New small civic radiator fitted and system bled and his Rad mounting kitTurbo swapped over with the aboveNew exhaust hangers fittedIm sure other things but i will update laterThe car was taken to Dastek over in fife for a run to check the fueling etc and made 143WHP at 1 bar(remember he has small rollers so readings are lower and this is with cracked mani) fuelling is left slightly rich as it was previously mapped with a hybrid CT9 which went pop after i bought her (just my luck). (i have the print outs here) so with fine tuning she can make a healthy bit of extra power!The car also has a Autowatch alarm which was fitted 23/06/2008 with cat1 certificate printout, one of the micro sensors is currently not mounted to the car as the driver pillar doesn't have a plastic trim.Power Modifications:Uprated manifoldCivic half rad with slimline fan (kicks in when needed, not on constant)New coolant hosesPro FMICBailey dump valve with added washer to prevent leakage thanks to Jezza.Ct9b tubby with no playFront mount air filter with HKS filterBlitz straight thru exhaust (sounds awesome!)Dastek unichip with receiptHks actuatorR spec Manual boost controller set at 1 barSpeedo convertor fittedDecat with lambdaTRD clutch disk and pressure plateBreather on the cam cover (no oil on it at all)Handling modifications :Lowered about 35mm at the rear on adjustable shocks (hard/soft) and springs done by the previous ownerFront lowered about 40mm on shocks and springs (cant remember the make) all working fine15" black alloys with red rim (could do with a refurb)2 Brand new front tyres (all tyres have loads of tread)Bodywork modifications:She has a toms bumper but this has a crack (not hanging or separated from the rest of the bumper)Toms side skirtsToms rear spoiler (adjustable)Read windows have some kind of grey tintI have put the standard black GT grill on as its my preference but i have a toms grill which Jezza sorted as it was snapped but you can see the fibreglass when you turn it round, this will be includedI also have a 3 gauge pillar but i just need a bigger screw to fit onto the pillar(oil tempt and boost gauge fitted) again this will be includedInterior modifications:Momo steering wheelMotor boost gauge to 2BarBrand new Vibe 1500Watt amp wiring kit just installedRear parcel shelf with 2 speakers (not very good)No stereo! But stereo plates are there.Door cards with broken speakers (again previous owner)All belts work.My thoughts:The car goes really well! When the revs get above 3500rpm she just shifts, its awesome!Im gutted i have spent so much getting her up and running to the way i want, but with me getting a house i cant justify having 2 cars at the moment so ive gotta let her go!She used NO oil! And is currently run on Shell ultra fully synShe uses next to no coolent!I have front pads that i bought from a member on here sitting spare as i thought i needed them but i didn't, they are greenstuff i think, i will double check.Current faults, im as honest as i can be:The roof has a scratch about an inch long (no idea how) and also has paint fade as usual!The front bumper has seen better days but isn't too badThe rear disks could do with a change but they still do their jobThere is sometimes a bit of exhaust rattle when you come off the clutch to hardThe clutch release bearing is rattling (been a little while now)The manifold has a small crack but it has been there for ages and hasn't got any bigger and she doesn't loos any boost so i wouldn't worry about that just now.No driver pillar trim,Someone from when the previous owner had tried to get the lock with a flat head or something and so the lock has a small hole next to it, this could be easy sorted though.The previous owner told me the cam belt was changed not long before i bought it by his mate, so the top cover is missing but the belt looks in good nick.the air filter pipe is metal and was made for the hybrid, i have some rubber round rings onto the turbo which make the pipe fit fine but the actuator stops the pipe going all the way to the turbo housing, doesn't effect anything but worth mentioning.The steering wheel sits a bit to the right but she stays true on a straight but might be worth while getting it tracked.I think thats it!, these are all small issues really and are reflected in the price.I have a load of receipts from previous owners including from myself and the V5she also has a brand new battery and start first time every timeJust been taxed this month so a full 6 month taxAlso MOT was passed with no fault a few months agoShe is always ran on Shell good stuff, never misses a beat!I have 1 set of keys as was provided by the previous chap with remote central locking and silent alarm etcIf i think of anything else i will add it in.I'm sure Iain and Jezza will vouch i have really spent time and money getting this car up to standard, i really cant thank them enough for their work, and with it being them you know its been done right and to a high standard with no corners cut!Priced to sell so please feel free to contact me and ask any question you may have.Pictures:Location: east kilbride scotlandContact Details: Message me on here or call 07912688083Postage & Packaging / Delivery: No Edited November 21, 2012 by white-gt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shaungt Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Toms kitted starlets always comes up when I have no money Quote Link to post Share on other sites
white-gt Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 she really is a nice looking car and stands out! come on guys, she is very well looked after! also worth mentioning i have Never revved her any were near the red line. infact 5500rpm is my max so the engine isnt hammered.Always warmed up by gently driving off boost and always cooled down going slow for at least 2 miles after any spirited driving.oil is checked always before driving and after driving, and oil is always kept at the max line.so you wont be buying a car that is raced about, remember this is my second GT, the first one i sold was white (hence my name) because my little girl came along and i needed a safer motor, so now she got bigger i bought this, but now im moving home so i kick my self im in this situation again!

jezza Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I can vouch for this car. During Martin's ownership, it has been extremely well treated with a lot of money spent solving any mechanical issues. Martin has mechanical sympothy in abundance, texting me with concerns and questions to put his mind at ease. I would be making an offer on the car if I could afford it.All Martin's time has been spent on mechanical issues so you are guaranteed a very healthy engine! A bit of money spent on body work touch ups and a good machine polish and it would be a minter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
white-gt Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 thanks for that buddy! much appreciated.im not someone that just uses things until it breaks, if ive spent money i want to make sure it does what it should and keeps doing it.i think i might even verge on the annoying side for jezza with all the questions etc lol but its just to make sure the choices i make are the right ones.Again thanks mate.
