Car for sale/parts car

[svxistentialist]

I have just purchased this car from the nice lady who owns it.

Unfortunately for anyone hoping for parts, I am planning to rebuild the engine, and put the car back on the road when rectified.

Sorry to disappoint anyone who needs bits. If when I check it out the car is not viable to fix [anything's possible?] I will reconsider. Then perhaps I might strip for parts or retain the car as a "club donor" car.

But if it can be fixed, it'll be back on the road like all good SVXs should be!

Congratulations Joe.

Does this mean that you are twice as much of a shortsighted and altrusitic fool than the rest of us?

Are you also planning to repair your original car?

Phil.

Thanks Phil

Whow, another engine work:-).
Let me know if you find what went wrong. I did quite through search about engine parts:-).
Seems to me the car looks very very nice what convinced you to bring it back to life. Am I wrong?

Don't know yet Peter.

From Pottsy's description, it sounds in good condition. I have not seen pictures of it yet, bought it sight unseen.

Can buy second hand engines from the States for c $1500, not including shipping. I may go this route and put a s/h engine in it, particularly if the crankshaft and associated parts and repairs are as expensive as I expect them to be.

Looking forward to fetching the car home.

Joe, it is the most expensive way to change short block or use swap engine. As for my engine, I gave it up. I can change all bearings including all seals and let crank grind for almost 1000USD including work(set of pistons glands costs another 250usd but I do not need them). Doing that engine can run another 200k kms with no problem (I will asure you I will not keep it for so long:-)). This is only lower/short engine. I do not know what can be wrong with upper part(cam shafts, valves...). I never read about such a problem at SVX. Please keep me informed after you pull out engine and find out what went bad.
Thanx Peter

OK Brett

That makes a little more sense.

You must have missed the post at the top of this page. The car is now sold. I have bought it and I am putting it back on the road.

I may be selling my own JDM car, depending. If you are interested in this, let me know. It is Black over Claret.

You a Kawasaki fan, by any chance??

You need to type a bit slower, we're all old fogies here and don't understand text style English.

Hi again Brett, and welcome to the Network.

Thanks for the good wishes. Pottsy has not bought the car, I have [Joe]

There is a meet scheduled for Billings [Northants] on 24/25 July.

We are currently waiting confirmation we have a stand. It is the Japanese Auto Extravaganza event.

Assuming we are confirmed with a stand, you are welcome to come along, there's sure to be 10 or more members and owners there.

Looking forward to seeing you sometime soon.

Joe

Hi Pottsy

Joe says you are going to look at his new car for him (see thread about coil pack lending). He has said that you could get a coil pack off for me to see if I have a bad one - it is the one at the front with the longest cable. Guess either side will do.

If you could do this, let me know and I'll send my address. I'll re-imburse post and packing.

Thanks a lot

Tony
