Rotary Car Club - View Single Post - FS: My GSL-SE '85 :(, $1300 obo

WE3RX7 · 04-05-2008, 07:46 PM

I bought the car with the intent to build it for a daily/dgrr car. I had the time when I got it, but being that I'm not going to make it to DGRR in this car (taking my 8 now instead) - I'm just going to sell this one.

I thought I could pull off having three cars in a condo area, but I really cant. Neighbors aren't thrilled with me doing bodywork in my garage and the "smell" of the rich rotary, lol...

Either way.. these are the details:

The Good:
Runs & Idles well (900-1000RPM after warm-up, cold start hovers at 1300-1500)
Brand new Falken tires (less than 300 miles on them)
Eibach front springs
MINT T2 seats
New front wheel bearings
New drivers side mirror
New intake manifold gaskets (not installed - read below)
New idler arm bushings (not installed)
New oil cooler crush washers (not installed - read below)

The Bad:
I started the bodywork as when I got the car, there really wasnt a straight panel on it, minus the doors.

Currently it has filler on the driver rear quarter (which I'm going to continue to work on until it sells), the header panel is bent but I have a straight one that goes to the new owner, needs passenger side fender and hood (I actually have a hood somewhere though if you want it)

The 5th & 6th ports are stuck from the car sitting w/ the prev owner. I planned on cleaning them and putting new gaskets on the car, but dont have time right now.

The oil cooler is leaking. I discovered that it looks like the oil cooler was never mounted correctly or the stock mounts broke. The leak is coming from what appears to be a missing crush washer (included with sale)

Um - thats really about it...

The car has 123K on it, runs and drives. Smokes when cold, but goes away once its warmed up (again from it sitting, the oil seals dried out - i've been running 20w50 and oil additive and it should clear up after another two oil changes). Starts better than my RX8 does! Compression is good...

I have $1,550 in the car, asking $1300 obo - cash talks as usual and I'd like a fast sale. I would like to see this car be finished and on the road, so please dont buy it to part out.

Located in Sterling, VA 20165 - I'll dig some pics up shortly... or you can check out the bodywork thread in the 1st gen area...
