UBR WGN Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Would love to see some photos of the underneath of the car if possible. Really interested in car, but East coast cars tend to scare me here in the West. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbosleeper Posted May 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Would love to see some photos of the underneath of the car if possible. Really interested in car, but East coast cars tend to scare me here in the West. I hear ya bro, Im from Vancouver where we have no winters or salt lol. I bought a civic out here last yr and my seat feel through the floorboard lol anyways I have no way of getting pics but I can assure you there is no rust. Im not here to waste your tiem especially when youre coming from another province. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbosleeper Posted May 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 This was pm'd to me and he wanted it to be public. I read your thread about the 855, I am interested in the car. However, there are a few things I need to know and IF you can publicly post in your forsale thread AND pm me with updated link I'd appreciate it. Those things that concern me are mainly me being in USA and you being in Canada. For older cars it's not hard to import them, but for newer cars (19 years old and newer) I have very little on importing a car like you have. Another thing I would like to know is about the ODO/guage cluster. Since it is in Kilo's does that make it require a computer (PCM) swap along with the cluster ? Or is it JUST a cluster swap that is needed? Im not sure to be honest, Id like to believe its as easy as a quick swap. Additionally, I'd like to know if there is ANY rust, any codes in the computer or within recent time and if it comes with any literature/manuals? No rust really that I know of. No codes in the 3000km Ive driven it. Comes with manual. No other documents sorry. Car does run well and is receiving a full stage 0 Lastly, how old is the timing belt/repair and water pump? The waterpump and timing belt will be done this week. I just havent had the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O_0 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Does it have the factory turbo? Has it ever been replaced with another turbo? If so, was it a new, rebuilt, or junkyard unit? Would you be willing (pending you have a digital camera/recorder) to post up a clean video of it starting up cold and letting it warm up to operating temp then do a nice cruise around? I know it may seem weird, but being so far away and over the internet, taking out as much surprises is the best thing and can only benefit a honest sale. Lastly, can you please post up more interior pictures? Are the rear seats heated too? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbosleeper Posted May 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 The rear seats are not heated however thats very easy to do. what would you like me to record? Also last night my ps pump starting making whining noises when Id crank the wheel...Im not sure if its cause Im lowered or if I need a new pump...Either way I will take 200 off selling price if I do not fix it by time of sale or price will remain the same if I do end up fixing it. Its not too hard to throw a new pump in...There are absolutely no leaks on this vehicle and after my run I will go do the pcv system, just letting the car cool down right now. Any other questions just ask Thanks everyone for your interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt01 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 whining power steering = leaking steering rack. Fill it up, it may just be a small leak, and may not be worth repairing yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbosleeper Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 The rack doesnt leak at all...I park over a clean spot and its absolutely spotless... Its a little low on fluid I think. I will top it up 2moro. pcv system now done...What a oh yeah! is was though...snapped the head off 2 bolts while removing the throttle cable assembly but luckily I had a spare manifold. Then I lost the throttle cable connector lol anyways its all good now...Will recieve another oil change once my mann filter arrives and will be using lubro moly 10w30... I also replaced all vacuum lines with red silicone and installed a mbc..not sure what its set at as I have no gauge but I kept it low...just above stock boost level...
