to be honest i would love to part it out myself, but a new job and a classic mini requiring my attention means i just dont have the time or drive space. its going to the scrappy if i cant find someone else to take it & break it for spares, or repair it, which would be a real shame. i can certainly fetch you some pictures though. is it a photobucket job to post pictures on here? if so you'll have to leave that with me till tomorrow although i can text you some quickly this evening if you prefer - send me a message on 07793 678670 if you want me to.

Ive got a 1995 SS2 (Japanese import obviously) for sale

Reasons for sale are as follows:

  • Exhaust blowing badly (keep patching it up & it blows out another section within a day or 2) needs everything from the Cat back
  • Rear engine mount (and probably front too by now) is buggered resulting in no 5th gear at the moment - i cant get this out myself or i'd patch it up with tiger seal (which i have a tube of & will happily include with the car)
  • Whine from the gearbox at about 25mph in 4th - i'm told this might be a bearing but havent explored it yet
  • air con is not cold.
  • rusty patch on the passengers side rear arch - not horiffic and i would think easily repaired but i coulnt be bothered sorting it out with the other problems listed

i cant afford the time or the money at the moment to get these things sorted out so im letting someone else take it off my hands.

the good points are:
interior is in wonderful condition - all seats are in lovely nick with only slight wear to the drivers side bolster (as always)
brand new Cat on last MOT
taxed till september and MOT'd till about March (off the top of my head, may be longer, certainly not less) so you can drive it away with the 4 working gears.
superstrut suspension is all working perfectly (I replaced a knocking banana arm for the last MOT)


This would be great for someone wanting to break it, as the car is generally in good nick and theres lots of useable bits, or if you are that way inclined it would repair up & be a lovely car for little cash but some effort.

looking for around 300 quid, so if you're interested make me an offer or text/call/whatsapp for more details - 07793 678670.

based in lincoln

cheers

Hi guys

I've got a 95 SSII with a nackered lower engine mount. I've read loads of threads on the poly inserts which as far as i can tell all came from america & to the best of my knowledge, none of the american 6th gen celicas came with the 3SGE engine (please correct me if i'm wrong on that)

The threads all talk about some mounts being similar but nobody seems to say for sure whether the SS2 mounts are the same as any of the UK models

(toyota want 80 quid plus vat for a genuine one, with a 2 month wait for delivery - i could do with getting 5th gear back sooner than that biggrin.gif )

so i'm trying to find out, has anyone else dealt with sloppy engine mounts on an ss2 and what was your solution?

incidentally i want to fill mine with window weld since everyone reckons its the business, but i could really do without having it off the road for the 24 hours+ that this will take to cure so unless a uk spec mount is the same & cheaper, then i intend to get a scrap mount, fill that & then do the swap to keep my car on the road in the meantime, just need to know which ones i can & cant buy from ebay

any other advice/offer of spare parts is welcomed biggrin.gif

cheers in advance
