weekend bump

[supra12big]

bump, please i would like it gone, if nothin works out then partout is the next opition

[97Celica]

Why are you selling it? people are normally gonna ask that question.

[supra12big]

i am buying a newer car for MI winters, plus i don't have time for it too much anymore, it was my DD, but i really don't want to go through another winter, i really would like it gone, i have spent 2k in maintaince/parts in it alone

[supra12big]

bump

[snapshotgt]

For peoples knowledge:

i really still want to keep my 3s, but the problems i have had and are having is way too much.

If you're considering buying, search past posts to get a better idea of what you're buying.

[joeladam02]

What he said...
By the way, have you fixed the leaking tranny and the throttle hesitation?
Any other problems you might be willing to divulge?
I'm asking because I may be interested in taking it off your hands...

Also, you haven't shown any detailed pics of the rust. That could help.

[supra12big]

The throttle hesitatin was the mech. timing, which i am doing this sat, alone with new timing belt/tensior and all the good stuff. I have replaced every sensor i believe was made for this motor, lol. also i dunno y i made sure i didn't overfill the trans, and i have a brand new copper crush washer so i haven't seen it leak yet, but i dunno. I really don't know how much my car will go for. But after this timing belt the engine itself is running amazing.

Rust is minmal, its at the bottom is the door on the drivers side. u can only see it when the door is open and u have to get on the ground

[joeladam02]

Is the rust on the door itself? or the chassis under the door?

[supra12big]

the door itself, on the very bottom, no rust on the chassis

well yeah. i've searched all his posts and that's why im kinda feeling sketchy about it. if he does do the work this weekend, save your reciepts bro.

and please do post pics of the rusts and pics around the chasis! people are going to keep asking. this is one of the reasons why it's not sold yet. people aren't willing to waste a travel for nothing. i've emailed you about it and never got anything back. the pictures on your cardomain just shows the car from a distance and nothing more that we can see. if you want more interest, you've got to listen to people and post what they want to see. not bashing, just my opinion.

[supra12big]

never got ur email, i am going to take alot of pics this weekend and post them, the timing belt is getting done next sat.

[block]

[supra12big]

could u email me directly bigron1265@hotmail.com i don't use craigslist that much

[supra12big]

Pics, here are some quick pics

[supra12big]

bump/ now with pics

[snapshotgt]

When people buy a swapped car they like to see pictures of the engine bay as well...

[supra12big]

heres some...

[joeladam02]

cool nice job with the pics....
still haven't really seen a good pic of the rust though...

[supra12big]

i gonna work on that tommorow, the rust is so small though, its on the very bottom of the door on the inner part of it.

[lagos]

This car looks to be in great shape. Anyone expecting perfection for 5k is crazy.
Every swapped car has its share of issues that need to be worked out. I wouldn't hold that stuff against it.

Just because its going for 5k doesn't mean he is exempt from posting detailed info about any issues he might have. Nowhere in his first post did he provide information of this sort. I don't think anyone holds anything against the situation as long as he is clear with people.

That said, GL with the sale. I do agree that the car looks pretty clean.

[supra12big]

I will be very clear with people, this car will have no issue's after i do the timing belt. I have spent so much money to replace parts on it to make it run perfect up to date, and then to find out that my mech. timing is off. I have daily drove this car for almost a year now, through the winter, and never has it stopped me from getting somewhere. As far as engine goes its solid. The transmission is where i wanted to upgrade to get a camry tranny(as seen in my other posts). I am looking to sell this car for a couple reasons. The time from when i purchased this car till now. I have spent most of my bank in it to make it perfect running for myself to enjoy and use a a daily driver, but as now I don't have any more money to put into this car in the future, and it has to go elsewhere. Also if 5k for a well running 3s swap is kinda low, well sry i didn't know the value of this car, but i posted on 6gc so another member could enjoy it as much as I did. I would like to sell it in order to purchase a newer car for MI winters cause i drive 50miles to school and back. I don't see it fair for this car to have to be used as a daily driver, especially through winter. I would like for someone to purchase the car as store it and use it as a weekend toy, but its up to them. Does that explain things better?

[GriffGirl]

For whatever it's worth, I've dealt some with the seller of this car and he seems like a really good guy. I know that he's had help from his father with this car, and they've worked hard on it and done their best to do quality work. Full disclosure is important, I couldn't agree more. I think he's getting that now. I will say if I had the money to buy this car, I'd seriously consider buying it. You're gonna get what you get with any 14 year old car, but at $5k I think it's a GREAT deal for a swapped car as clean as his is. I really don't think this guy is looking to scam anyone.

[Jared95]

if there was a way to get it to me i would def. take it off of your hands.

[supra12big]

would u wanna have it shipped? i think it cost around 500-700 dollars, its not that far from me to you. Call around and ask

[block]

it will be around 1000-1200 to ship it. i did a quote from arizona to minnesota for 1100. with gas prices and everything going up, the price isn't what it used to be anymore best bet is to take a good long trip. i think it's only like 14 hours from there in texas to wisconsin. i know it's 13hours from here, minnesota, to dallas, tex. good luck

[supra12big]

[supra12big]

>>>BUMp>>

[supra12big]

^ttt

[x_itchy_b_x]

bring the price back up man! Im sure you guys want to buy a celica thats fast!

[supra12big]

i know, this car runs and drives every day, anyone who doesn't believe me can come test drive the car!, its now just in my garage waiting for someone to buy it, i think my price is good for a sell, if i can't sell the car, the junkyard is gonna be seeing it next year, just don't have any room for it anymore

[DEATH]

Swaps are hard to sell - especially when their repair/maintenance histories are right here for all to search. The price is really nice - it'll sell. Be patient.
Scrap that thing and it'll be a travesty. You might wanna get shipping quotes to various locals like Fl, Tx, SoCal etc. to give people a general idea how much it would cost to ship.

[GriffGirl]

God I wish I had the money for it. Maybe this car is waiting for me... Quick! Everyone on this board buy 2 HID kits!

[supra12big]

repair and maintaince history of this car is all on me, i spent every dollar i had to make it perfect. Sure i went through hard times, but it came out great in the end. Someone mention that shipping to AZ was around 1k, so if that settles anyones mind. thanks though,

plus i would really like to sell it to someone on here

[junhus69]

are you only looking for cash or are you willing to trade for a diffrent 6gc and some cash?

[supra12big]

really only for cash,

[supra12big]

someone from 6gc coming to take a look tommorow, bump

[supra12big]

bump

[supra12big]

ttt...

[supra12big]

bump, still for sale, taking offers, would like to pass it on to someone on here,

[HondaGuy]

I found 6gc through a Google search as I was considering Celicas/MR2's as my next purchase, and I went to look at this one about a week ago. I put a good 2-3 hours in reading up on this cars history through supra12big's past threads as someone in here suggested so I felt pretty informed on all of the past problems & stages of the cars life.

I found that the body wasn't perfect but was in really good shape, just the spots from the bodykit that need a little touch up paint. The paint still has a great shine, and for a 14 year old car it looks great.

The interior was complete and looks like a daily driver.. if anything it needs a detail but was in good shape. The dash is black, but there are a couple plastic pieces that have been painted white (prev. owner) and repainted black; you can tell they've been painted but they look ok.

The engine starts/idles great, no hiccups. For anyone concerned it seems very solid to me. When out test driving it, the engine ran great. The trans has a strange second gear.. all the gears worked fine but I just had trouble getting used to shifting it. He offered to let me do a pull but I turned it down for this reason, so we switched seats and he did one for me from 2nd-5th at 12 psi (I think) and THIS CAR HAULS ASS. No joke. He did a quick stop after and the brakes work well.

Only real downside to this deal is it needs tires/struts/alignment. I think the price reflects that though.
Ron was a nice guy, he answered all of my questions and was very upfront about everything.
I'd probably buy his car but I'm going back to Hondas and I'm pretty set on a certain GSR (whose owner I just found out is close friends with Ron, small world).

[supra12big]

thanks joe, and thanks for coming to look at it

[supra12big]

bump, anyone out there, someone wants a good running 3sgte celi swap? anyone????

[supra12big]

junkyard then? anyone, i am willing to ship it out

[boosted95]

How about a partout. I work part time at a supra shop in Franklin, OH. I finally got the owners to lend me an enginestand if i found a 3s block to work on and there excited to mod a turbo 4cylinder. Their main engine swap is the 7mgte for the mkIII supra... my plans are full port and polish on the head also intake and exhaust, also a ceramic coating on exhaust manifold. add an ATS ct27 and methanol injection. Saved up quite abit and just started up a shopping list for my swap and was planning on a total pricetag around 4k to include boost controller and lsd trans*

pm me and we can talk prices and how much you'd be willing to part with, im very interested

[supra12big]

[supra12big]

yes, this is a fully running swapped 3sgte, its in perfect mechincal condition, read the review a guy left me on here, 4th page, i am so suprised no one wants to buy it for this price

[ComaDave]

If I can get 2k out of selling my '83 supra I may be in the market for this car. Is the AC functional in it? Summer isn't exactly pleasant without it here.
