Figured I should probably say hello as I've been quietly lurking around watching the parts for sale and following some good tech threads here like the S2 flasher mod thread
I'm a toyota enthusiast from the central coast and picked myself up a nice JZZ30 as a daily. I also own an 88 AW11 Supercharged MR2 which is a weekender/hobby/track car.
A bit of the info here is copied from my thread on toymods so if it's a little hard to follow I apologize
I got this about a month or so ago
The good:
Leather interior in very good condition LCD works, climate works Tein coilovers, unsure what model however given the quality of the ride I assume they are super street Turbo's seem to boost fine Sunroof works with the awesome sunroof deflector Varex Muffler Aftermarket dumps
The Bad: Incar DVD player (seriously I dont understand why people have these) Power steering is leaking very slowly Single spinner Drivers side window doesnt work Gearbox is a bit noisy Single spinner Random trip pieces are broken or missing
I've Been suspecting that this car had a boost leak till I found a rather bodgey BOV blanking plate installed last week. Pulled that off today and made a slightly less bodgey version which I'll use till I can buy a plumback BOV. Fixed the power steering leak by installing a missing hose clamp. Car also has a smaller then usual airbox, vito's offered me his factory 1J airbox so I'll get that tomorrow when I get the drivers reg then is rego time
After fixing this up I was able to confirm what I had suspected and that this car has certainly been shift kitted. It was very wet on the test drive so it was pretty hard to give it all the stick I wanted to.
So far that's it, just routine maintenance so far really, not a bad buy for $2500 and I'm very happy with how it drives.
