Car Description
Car History
NZ new, I believe that I'm the 2nd owner. Vehicle purchased early 2011 @ 141 000km and has now done 203 000km. It's a black, manual with the grey Recaro interior (blue stitching) and door cards.
Modifications.
600x300x76 FMIC
K&N dual intakes to each turbo
Heat wrapped hard pipe kit
HKS SSQV BOV
Tein coilover suspension (height and damper adjustable)
MAF deleted
Walbro 255LPH fuel pump
3" exhaust from Y pipe with Fujitsubo Legalis Super R muffler
Link Plus ECU and MAP sensor tuned by Gary Capper Performance in 2006 @ 205kW atw
Evo IX wheels (17x8) shod with Bridgestone RE002 235/45/17 (brand new - 2000km old)
Black Brembo brakes all round 320mm front disc 4 piston calipers, 300mm rear disc 2 piston calipers
35% tint on all Windows
Cert plate
Other information.
Driveline lubricants changed at purchase (gearbox, transfer case, rear differential)
Cambelt, water pump and tensioners replaced at purchase
Oil and filter changes with 5W30 every 5000km
During ownership the cooling system has been flushed at least 3 times
Clutch replaced at 170 000km
Brake discs, pads and fluid replaced at 172 000km
Alternator and belt replaced at 192 000km
PS fluid and belt replaced at 195 000km
Replaced valve cover gaskets, tube seals, spark plugs and ignition leads at 197 000km
Oxygen sensor replaced at 200 000km
The only time the car failed a WOF has been for blown bulbs on registration plate.
Bad bits
Engine has what I suspect to be a broken lifter or rocker. Problem manifested itself last Saturday and I drove the last 6km home before turning it off. The problem is exhibited by the ticking lifter sound on cylinder 5 but much louder and at a higher frequency. I don't have the time or inclination to conduct a lifter replacement given that it'd make sense to do the cambelt and stuff at the same time.
Either the cam seals or crank seal is leaking slightly.
Front bumper is split nearly in two - has been this way since I bought it.
As one would expect from a car of this age, there are the usual nicks and scratches from errant trolley drivers / door openers. The bonnet has some nicks from flying objects.
Windscreen has a couple of small nicks.
No stereo.
I appreciate that there's going to be some work involved to get it 100% again, whether that's replacing the engine with a lower mileage one or fixing the existing one.
That said, I'm not desperate to sell it so please don't think that I'm just going to give it away. It is not my intention to part out the vehicle (see earlier statement regarding "time and inclination".
