    It's time to move on. I have a lot of personal things kicking in right now and I need to move on from Jasmine. It's time to put her up on the block.


    Chassis:
    1989 Celica GTS liftback


    Powertrain:
    1999 Toyota Caldina 3s-gte (ST215). Purchased from Venus Auto late 2010
    1993+ Toyota MR2 turbo transmission (e153) with a 1.5way TRD LSD unit installed
    ACT organic street series clutch disc with heavy duty pressure plate
    3" exhaust from downpipe back to a Magnaflow Street Series muffler.


    Powertain extras:
    Treadstone TR8 front mount intercooler
    2.5" aluminum intercooler piping
    SARD r2d2 BOV
    Clocked turbo
    Running off WG only (9psi). Can reconnect to tVSV system and boost to stock 15psi.
    Speed source poly front/rear motor mounts
    Speed source brass shifter bushings
    Turbo recently replaced (~600 miles on turbo)
    Spectre re-useable air filter with lifetime warranty and cleaning/oil solutions
    AutoPWR all aluminum dual core radiator with dual 12" pusher fans
    New master, slave cylinder (300 miles). Clutch disc also has 300 miles on it.


    Chassis extras:
    Megan coilovers installed
    New sway bar links (front and rear)
    New inner/outer tie rods
    New brakes ready to install (pads and hardware)
    Supra TT authentic Walbro 255lph fuel pump (no noises at all from fuel pump)
    Wheel bearings replaced 500 miles ago (front). I have two more to include with sale
    New tires, about 1500 miles on them.


    Interior:
    All stock. Have a ho-hum CD player installed.
    Prosport gauges (boost, water temp and oil pressure). Boost installed in cluster, others in a-piller mount.


    Exterior:
    In OK condition. No major body damage, just typical faded paint in some areas for a 30 year old AZ car. One small ding on driver fender.




    The downside:
    The north/south crossmember mount point on the rear broke. Not a hard fix, just something I do not have the tools/equipment readily available to repair. I could fix it but it would be a while before I can even get under there.






    I'm torn on how to sell it. If I were to sell the whole car, I'd like to get $3500 for it. I would sell the motor, transmission, ecu and harness (along with the intercooler and tidbits) for $2500. I will not part out the car unless the motor is sold (I'd sell motor/ecu/harness only for $1300). Shipping can be arranged, but pick up is much perferred. I could arrange halfway delivery to neighboring states if some of the costs are paid for. Same goes with car delivery, I would gladly do a meet up somewhere within 8-10 hours drive time from Phoenix if some of the costs are covered.

    dude, this sucks definately :(

    from europe it's of no use asking for bigger parts so I hope you can find someone that buys the whole car...

    Sad to see you sell. Good luck in whatever you need to do in your personal life.

    We're buying a house.

    I'm calling up one of my student loan service companies tomorrow and paying it off. Next phone call is to the mortgage broker. Once we're stable in the new house we're going to buy a new SUV. Then I'm going for a new one. I'm leaning toward alltrac though. St165 or ST205.
