This is a VERY reluctant sale, but also quite urgent, so priced well below what it should be.
FIRSTLY - I'm not getting out of Starions - will still be doing circuit / drift ones, and plan on a future Widey build, BUT:
I am putting this up here slightly cheaper first for it to go to a Starion person, before I list it publicly, BUT I do need to move it fast, so won't be here long.
THE STORY: I very sadly need to sell this due to a few changes in situations and projects at home, and funds limitations, needing to finish my shed extension urgently (council issues), and also having to finish my wife's project car!
FOR SALE:
My 1988 GSR-VR Widebody Starion 2.6L (4G54) turbo
DETAILS:
This is a great car, and in good condition.
Here's some info.
GOOD POINTS:
- Recently had a BRAND new head installed (also polished and ported). This was a new head with improved water flow and strength, so no more head cracking / head gasket issues that these engines sometimes have.
- Fully rebuilt the throttle body, new seals, new bolts, etc
- It IS auto currently (4 speed auto - and is actually an awesome tough box) but I will include ALL parts (except gearbox unless you pay a little extra) to do a manual conversion - flywheel, pilot bearing, pedals, clutch master & slave cylinder, etc. I ended up keeping it auto cos it was quite tough and stayed on boost and went hard, plus it was good for driving around in the city. Really nice tight auto actually, but yes, manual conversion is there if you want it. I was about to do it, until realising I needed to make this move.
- Very low Eibach springs on the back, and King springs on the front (have Eibach's for the front too, but they were too low!).
- Brand new KYB GR2 gas front strut inserts recently installed (altho needs a small washer placed under them as there's a tiny amount of clunk/vertical movement, and this is how to stop that).
- Nice custom hard pipe and pod filter WITH all original sensors & pipes in place, so is road legal. All original piping supplied too.
- Much nicer steering wheel
- New turbo with 16G wheel (still running stock boost, so never had damage etc done)
- Comes with a NUMBER of good spares, including bearings, etc, brand new, that I'd stocked up on
- Beautiful SSR wheels that have been sought after (JDSTAZ45 has first option on these wheels if they're ever sold!)
- Will include an MPI magna manifold that could be used if you wanted to go multipoint
- Has a new front windscreen
- 2 almost new rear tyres supplied as well
BAD POINTS:
- Recently got run into the left door, however this is professionally repaired by a panel beater, and also comes with LIFETIME warrantee on that repair since I'm insured with Shannons and that's their arrangement. So you wouldn't know it had had any damage, I just prefer to be straight up and honest on here
- Rear struts are a bit tired
- The slight clunk at the front on big bumps needs those washers placed under the KYB GR2 strut inserts
- Has a bit of the usual timing chain rattle, however I'm including a new timing chain set and tensioner etc. The existing one is fine though, and shouldn't need replacing for ages anyway, I just wanted it in stock in case they ever got hard to find.
- Needs a few little cleanup things for a roadworthy - a couple of bushes etc, but went through a tough Victorian Roadworthy 2 years ago fine.
- Black paint clear coat is flaky in a few places, the bonnet was the worst, however I've put a matte black vinyl wrap on the bonnet now and it looks great!
- The computer under the passenger seat has stopped working, so I have hard wired a windscreen wiper circuit, that actually works well, however it means you have no intermittent wiper setting, and also no dimming for the lights on the dash - they're just always at the one setting, which never really bothered me.
- The front tyres are a bit low on tread
SOME MORE INFO ON THE SALE:
I will be selling it WITH Victorian registration under the right conditions (details to be arranged with the buyer), interstate buyers are welcome, and this can be arranged too. I am NOT selling it with a roadworthy though as I really don't have any time at all to organise it, and that is why I am selling it so cheap, as I am in need of the money quickly. If you're desperately keen but don't have full money instantly, I may accept a good sized deposit, and the rest within a week or two, but that would also need to be discussed with me.
PRICE:
$6500 firm - as you can tell, I need to sell it fairly quickly! I will be listing it for more publicly shortly though if no-one on here jumps on it. So get onto me asap! Hugh - 0413 781 764 (SMS me and I'll call you back is best, or call if you prefer that :) )
ALSO, if it is sold in Victoria, I WILL include the WIDEEY plates. Hmmm I don't believe I'm saying/doing this, but it's gotta happen, so jump on it before I change my mind.
