1996 Series 1 Stagea

[colinjkelley]

I am selling a 1996 Series 1 Stagea.

It has very low compression in first cylinder (30psi)

The car has 117000km on it and is standard except for:

Hybrid front mount intercooler

Pod air filter

18 inch Rodney Jane wheels and brand new tyres

Microtech LT10 computer

As you can see from the pictures car is very straight and interior is in excellent condition. Transmission also works well.

I purchased this car from Queensland 4 weeks ago and drove it back to Canberra. A change in circumstances means that I can't afford a replacement motor. The car is sitting at Trojan Motorsport in Canberra at the moment, at this stage I may need to leave it with them as a wreck (if they are interested). I need to make a decision about the car by Tuesday 10th March so I am open to offers. I would prefer to sell the whole car but if I have enough interest, i'll sell parts.

Give me a call on 0421 499 699. The car is drivable and I am more than happy to assist with delivery.

Is it piston rings or head gasket?

Have you tried squirting oil into the cylinder to see if you get the compression up? This would tell you if the rings are gone.

You'll need to put up a price

And to help yourself, dont put "or reasonable offer", just put up a realistic price and you should sell it quickly

Sorry Guys, I'm after around $4500 for the car as is. I will check cylinder compression with oil in the cylinder on Tuesday, thanks for the tip.

How did the oil test go?

He didn't end up doing it. I've bought the car assuming the engine wasn't repairable
