So I've decided it's time to sell the car. I absolutely hate having to get rid of it but i moving out and it has to go. I'm going to try and cover everything about this car including pics.(its dark out right now)

I'm going to say right now, the car runs fine, but it still needs work.

PICS BELOW

General Car Info
Like the title says, its a Red 5spd 94' ST Hatchback with a 92' JDM MR2 3SGTE engine. The body has probably close to 150K miles. I painted the interior trim panels white. The seats have probably less wear than you would expect from a 12yr old car. Same with the carpet. I have always had the factory floor mats in the car. I am a NON smoker and so was my car. The clip was from Ricky's Auto in FL.(see his eBay auctions if you want) I was told it had ~30-40k miles. The swap was done partially by a local auto shop, and partially by a Tuner shop. The local shop decided they didn't have the skills to finish it, so to the more expensive tuner shop it went.

Exterior
I put a full invader body kit on it a long time ago and it has seen some wear and tear since then. The only real noticeable damage is on the bottom of the passenger side front bumper.(near the wheel well) And on the passenger side rear bumper there is a large crack. I still have the stock front and rear bumpers but I dont know if the front will still fit.(intercooler) It also has an invader spoiler. Again, I will be posting pictures of everything.

I recently put a set of coilovers on but I still have the original springs and they will of course come with the car if you want them. The car rides fine, but you do feel bumps. The car also has a set of 17" Primax rims. They are one of the first visual mods Ive done to the car, so they have a lot of curb damage. (pics to come) And each wheel has a different brand tire due to flats and such...

Engine Mods

New (>1k miles) Ignition components (plugs, cap, wires, rotor) and I have a spair set of NGK bkr7e plugs.
ATS Throttle body inlet
MBC (Running 1.0Bar daily)
Greddy FCD (included but not installed)
Cat-back 3" exhaust with Ractive Muffler (sounds SOOOO nice)
HKS SSQV
2.5" SS IC piping and a large IC (27w X 12h i think)
eBay Shifter Bushings

*****PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR*****
No speedometer
-I have the electronic speedo sensor, but its not plugged into the harness. You get used to it pretty quick. I dont even notice anymore.

Power Steering
-The PS squeals only while you're rolling very slow. Once you get moving its all good.

No A/C

Battery
-The battery is in the trunk and for some strange reason it will drain itself if you leave it parked for too long. It is easy to unplug when you park it for the night but its fine if you're just running to the store or something.

Rear Drum Brakes
-Rear breaks lightly grinding while moving slowly and breaking

Transmission Troubles
-This needs some explaining. The engine and tranny run great. Recently, I've been having clutch problems. There is a small squeek/chatter coming from the clutch (throwout bearing?) Ive bled the clutch and that fixes it temporarily. I found that there is a small leak where the clutch line goes into the tranny at the front of the car. The car very recently came out of the shop to have a short axel problem fixed and now there is a very noticeable vibration and chatter that gets less noticeable when you're not on the gas. I believe it is the clutch finally going out. It was a brand new ACT clutch.

Extras
Like I said, I have the stock front and rear bumpers.
Stock suspension springs
(4) NKG BKR7E plugs
2 Gallons of 110 Octane CAM Racing Fuel.
Car Jack, jumper cables, etc.
A bunch of Mother's car washing stuff. (3 stage wax, soap, some new sponges, glass wipes, vinyl wipes...some other stuff)
94 Celica (for body) AND 93 Celica (for engine) Chiltons manuals.
Also I have 2 12" Wolfenhag 1000W subs, each in their own ported bandpass box...i already sold the amp.
Factory 10 Disc CD Changer and the Kenwood CD player that I replaced the factory cd player with.

I would like to get $4500 considering the transmission and body work that needs to be done. Car would be sold AS-IS but I will help you to the best of my ability with anything you need. The buyer will have to arrange for some type of shipping because the car shouldn't be driven over a long distance before taking care of the clutch.

Thanks for reading everything and please ask me anything you want to know about this car.

I'll have pics up tomorrow. Sorry I have other plans for a new car, I can't trade. I took the car to Express Auto Care in Perrysburg and where they left off, it went to Gearheadz in Toledo.

Tiffin isn't far, you'd be an ideal buyer.

here's a couple pics from in the garage
