A TURBO MINI FOR $3500!! F*&K ME
|
Sun, 03 April 2005 12:34
|
 |
As it was for sale earlier in year.
This time selling for $5k with new rims and tires, basically it needs to go. 8 regoed carz is just rediculous.
For those that dont know know.
specs as follows:
67 round nose mini
4E-FTE engine (GT STARLET TURBO)
5spd starlet box
Starlet instrument cluster
Electric water pump
Radiator in boot with thermo fan, (doesnt get hot)
lo-hi Boost controller 6psi or 9psi
brand new 12" mags and tires
Nolathane bushes in sus.
Blow Off Valve
2" straight through exzaust
Car looks stock from outside, except grill has been extended an inch or so to clear turbo. very un noticable though.
Car is painted with spray cans, so i could drive it on street without to much attention. Runs well and goes hard. desperatly needs suspension upgrade, and have been quoted $670 for parts. Also needs disc brake upgrade, been quoted $1300 including all new CV's and boots and stuff. Needs the new sus to make it a bit more controllable under power, tends to torque steer hard due to uneven and stuffed hydralic suspension.
A little bit of rust, but easily fixed, no carpets, interior trimmed (but only a quick job to tidy up a bit)
Car is licensed but not with engine, and would not be able to be licenced unless the upgrades where done and the car basically tidied up.
Im selling it as an un-finished project becoz that is what it is, please dont be mistakin and think this is a daily driver as is.
Its seen the road quite a few times and has been driven to work a few times etc etc but still not ready for daily driving.
$5000 ono reasonable offers considered.
This car needs to be gone people.
Any1 got a set of rims to suit a TA22(4x114.3) or a GT4 celica (5x100) plus cash to swap for the mighty mini? Prefer 17's but what ya got?
Or a 2 post hoist plus cash adjustment for the mighty mini??
Perfect for someone thinking of doing a PHAT mini conversion, most of it is already done, just needs finishing.
Cheers
Matty

Is that a big hole in the flywall of the car?
It might just be something there that looks like a hole in the pictures. But it looks like a whole with some MDF or plywood behind it.
Or is it just me?
Thanks.

that hole in the firewall is standard.
all round nose mini's have them and half of the clubmans. it was so they could stick a pole through them and just rotate them when they were being made.

DR TRIM are you fo real man?? i know for a fact the hole is standard because its where the original speedo cluster is located. But as far as using it to rotate car, that shit is whack i hope you are serious though.

From the first post...
Car is painted with spray cans, so i could drive it on street without to much attention. Runs well and goes hard. desperatly needs suspension upgrade, and have been quoted $670 for parts. Also needs disc brake upgrade, been quoted $1300 including all new CV's and boots and stuff. Needs the new sus to make it a bit more controllable under power, tends to torque steer hard due to uneven and stuffed hydralic suspension.
A little bit of rust, but easily fixed, no carpets, interior trimmed (but only a quick job to tidy up a bit)
Car is licensed but not with engine, and would not be able to be licenced unless the upgrades where done and the car basically tidied up.
I was looking into shipping and it was between $500 to $700 to get it sent from Perth to Brissie. Manybe more noe with the rise in fuel costs?
Great little car, if only I was a bit shorter and skinnier!

As icarus pointed out, the first post pretty much covers it.
If any1 is Actually interested, then come around and take a look, if ya got some bling i'l even take ya for a spin, but im sick of time wasters who just wanna go for a drive in a turbo mini that has a blow off valve...... although i can see the attraction
