Testing waters..

Thinking on selling this project car of mine. is almost complete, a few loose ends but not a big deal to go thru. Engine is a 13b full bridge port with huge openings, all seals, springs are new on it, great housings, semi-p done, but not being used at the time. Has a sprint re but is not tuned, it starts and drives but needs tuning. Sucks up gas like there is no tomorrow also.... no oil leaks with the exception of the oil cooler, I think that the hose connection there is a bit loose or the cooler itself is leaking in that area, but not drastic. Getting too old for this and it looks like I'll never be able to get this done. Placing just a few pics up to see what kind of interest it might gather...... can provide more information on this via pm/email...

That is pretty hard core, great foundation to make an awesome car. Just needs a bit more time and $$$ right?!? L. Injected Bridgey would go wickedly fast once tuned ... You would need shares in the local gasso but with that spec why don't you focus it on track / Hillclimb / sprint stuff and have a bit of fun with her. Seems like a Shame to have come so far and put all that effort in not to get its final tune sorted and put it through her paces... You can do it!!!

Don't need that much $$ into it, everything is there, just needs to get cleaned up. I'm just tired of this deal for now, maybe I just put it away for a while and see if I get the desire of finishing it up....... who knows....

Yeah I hear ya, sometimes I take a trip to the track or watch some build vids on you tube / discovery to get the motivation back.

What is the next step with getting her finished? A good tune and dyno?? Even if you were to sell the car it's going to be worth heaps more if it's all set up.

Or get a few mates round pizzas and beer and knock a few jobs off the list. Then do some burn outs haha.

Thanks for the support. I might have to keep this thing. A guy here locally offered me 1500 for it... I didn't think that it was worth a lot, but not that low either...... just my luck...hahaha

Beautiful car! Definitely a great buy for someone with the cash and resources to finish the project. Good luck with the sale! That throttle body looks sweet!

$1500 is an insult. Your car is worth at least $7500. If you reverted the car back to stock you could double the $7500. I've seen front nose cones sell for $1500. If you have the original black steering wheel, its worth another $500-800. The parts for these cars sell for big money. You sir, have one of the most sought after Japanese cars today!
