RECEIPTS FOR MOST, IF NOT ALL.
SERVICED AND MAINTAINED PRACTICALLY DAILY.. THIS CAR IS/WAS MY PRIDE AND JOY ANYWAY, SO THAT SHOULD GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF ITS CONDITION OUTRIGHT ;O)
REASON FOR SALE -
THE CAR EITHER HAS A BLOWN HEAD GASKET OR HEAD, WHICH HAPPENED LAST NIGHT.
I THINK THE WATER LEVEL DROPPED, WHICH CAUSED IT TO BLOW, BUT I CAN�T BE ABSOLUTELY SURE WHAT THE ACTUAL CAUSE WAS. THE HEAD ISN�T THAT OLD EITHER, WHICH SURPRISES ME IF IT IS THE HEAD... NO. 4 SHOWED ME THE SIGN OF WATER AND THE OIL CAP SHOWED ME FARMERS UNION ICED COFFEE ;O)
HOWEVER, THE CAR STILL RUNS AND TURBO SPOOLS AND BOOSTS ETC. ONLY IT RUNS ON 5 CYLINDERS ATM ;O) LOL.
ANYWAY, I CAN�T AFFORD TO FIX IT NOW, HAVING SPENT A FORTUNE ON THIS CAR OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS CONVERTING IT TO TURBO - AS WELL AS OTHER COST PRESSURES I AM EXPERIENCING AT THE MOMENT. SO, UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME, THE TIME HAS COME AND IT JUST HAS TO GO.. I DON�T WANT TO LET IT GO, AS I HAVE SPENT SO MUCH TIME AND MONEY ON HER, BUT NOW I HAVE TO FACE THE COLD HARD FACT.
THE CAR IS AN ABSOLUET WEAPON WHEN IT GOES THOUGH!.. HAS EATEN EVERYTHING I�VE GIVEN A RUN ANYWAY! ;O)
FOOTNOTE
I CAN ALSO SUPPLY A VITON COATED 3PLY STEEL PLATE FOR THE BUYER TOO, SHOULD THEY CHOOSE TO PUT IT IN THIS MOTOR.
I HAD IT IN ANOTHER MOTOR (ORIGINAL MOTOR) AND IT WORKED A TREAT WITH NO DRAMA�S AND I HONESTLY DON�T THINK YOU COULD EVER BLOW IT. IT�S A RE-USABLE PLATE TOO.. A GOOGLE SEARCH WILL FIND DETAILS OF IT.. I PUCHASED IT FROM OUTLAW FOR RRP $220 AND IT DIDN�T LET ME DOWN.
MY LAST MOTOR WAS TIRED AND THE BOTTOM END LET GO A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, SO I PULLED IT OUT AND REMOVED THE PLATE BEFORE I SENT IT TO THE BIN. WHEN I REPLACED THE MOTOR WITH THE MOTOR THAT�S IN THE CAR NOW, I COULDN�T BE BOTHERED TAKING THE HEAD OFF AND PUTTING THE PLATE BACK IN.
I ALSO PUT A NEW TORQUE CONVERTER IN THE TRANSMISSION WHEN I INSTALLED THE CURRENT MOTOR A FEW WEEKS AGO.
WAS RUNNING LIKE A SEWING MACHINE AND BOOSTING SWEET AS BETWEEN 7-10PSI, BEING DRIVING DAILY UNTIL LAST NIGHT.
PS. THE CAR IS TURBO BADGED WITH THE BADGE REQORDED TO FOR THE WORD �FCKIT� (FOR OBVIOUS REASONS) FOR THOSE WHO HAVE SEEN IT BOOSTING AROUND ADELAIDE.
