Clay bar is good at removing tar also.

Well, after advertising the Auris on ebay (zilch) Gumtree (nada) I thought I'd try Facebook Marketplace. 

 

Yes I know, bear with me though...

 

The price was on the money-about as cheap as these things get. 

 

I received about 10 messages along the lines of "Is it still for sale?" to which I duly replied and heard nothing back.

 

I received another one yesterday but they did get back to me and arranged a viewing for yesterday evening.

 

They turned up, poked and prodded and dispatched their father ( a Toyota man, apparently) on the test drive. He drove it for about 400 yards, declared "It's got a bit of poke, that's good enough for me" and drove it back.

 

Some mild haggling was done, cash was counted and documents were filled in, it then drove away into the sunset.

 

Result!

 

Now to try not to buy something else, even though I have a spare insurance policy and cash in my pocket...

 

Wanders off to Low Cost Big Liability thread...

[Tickman]

When are you viewing collecting the Jeep?

[Split_Pin]

Result!

How long before you have a clio? 

[Tickman]

How long before you have a clio?

Would have been the weekend just gone had the Auris gone before

[The Moog]

I am sure there is a deal to be had there!

So, seeing as I did so well with my last Japanese hatchback I thought I'd try another.

 

I was nearly buying two cars after a Celica 190 turned up locally for cheaps, it had gone before I reached it though. It would have been an engine donor for the MR2.

 

This one though... this one is a gamble. Possibly more so than normal for me, we shall see. 

 

It is, naturally, broken.

 

I've not actually seen it in the metal yet,

 

A deposit has been sent and a (t)rusted shiter has not only viewed on my behalf but is providing temporary storage til I can get it shifted home by Shiply most likely (Dundee to Dunfermline if anyone can help?)

 

It does not drive. It may never drive again without a lot of money being thrown at it. There is a chance though I can save it without breaking the bank. Lets see.

 

Want a teaser?

 

Here you go...

That looks horrific, good luck!

Probably needs just a regass or something...

5 series?

5 series?

 

 

Nope, I'm sticking with Jap hatchbacks for this next one.

[Split_Pin]

CTR?

[dome]

CTR?

 

I have no idea what that is?

[Supernaut]

CTR = Civic Type R.

 

 

 

Naturally, if it's from Dundee it'll be utterly fucked. I'm surprised it's not on fire TBH.

[cort16]

I think it is one of those civics

[dome]

Shit, either I'm really predictable or some of you guys have got amazing spotting skills.

 

It is indeed a CTR (I genuinely didn't know what that was)

 

It is not just any CTR (I'm getting down with the kids) It is quite possibly the worst Civic Type R, sorry, CTR in the country. 

[cort16]

Spill the beans . I’m guessing no clutch?

[dome]

Non starter, timing chain likely slipped.

 

Turns over though so no piston/valve interface. I hope. 

 

TADTS...

[cort16]

Eep

[Split_Pin]

Still hip with the Young Team these so should see a decent return on that, imo.

I Need to go and find some vtec memes/gifs for this thread.

Even the same colour as dome's one!

[cort16]

That’ll do it

[Jams]

Hello fellow ctr botherer

[bigfella2]

I thought the roof of a car should be the least rusty part of any car.

 

Well fuck me, I can't wait to see the rest of it then.

 

Well bought!!

[SiC]

Another one for the lingo is ITR - Integra Type-R or Teggy.
