i predict close to 4k if not just over for the c210.

17 bidders holy shit!

With 6 days to go, I don't know why everyone is bidding so early...

The video provides a reasonable idea of the condition of the car - much better than a few photos.

weeds out the time wasters and gives you an idea of whether or not its in a realistic price range (i always bid up to the reserve to see what it is, and it ticked over once i bid 2500), its auction sniper time now.

It'll be interesting to watch. Just checked the location, just over the border near Mildura. Nice dry climate.

It's the zero feedback newbies that I'm always wary about on these auctions?

How easy would it be for the seller to organise to boost the price a little and how often do you see the newbie has sent the price through the roof, yet it gets re listed due to non paying bidder?

Very weird auction, the price is now $2425 which is below the $2500 you bid up to. A higher bidder retracted on the grounds that the 'description changed' and it looks like the price wound back to below the reserve.

Have you seen the car in person? In the new pics it looks like there's rust in the gutter near the antenna. 

Is it correct that these engines aren't suited to unleaded fuel? I thought they were basically the same as the R30 engine.

The seller canceled all of the zero feedback newbey bids because he couldn't be contacted. As I said it d!ckheads on these auctions that boost the value and have no intention of buying.

That's why the price is down, although as you said John, STATUS has allegedly bid $2500.00 which isn't there.

Having said that he is going to sniper bid it next and he has the advantage of knowing the reserve.

Good position to be in if you're a serious contender.

Just take your snorkel and flippers when picking it up, as all major highways were cut into Mildura yesterday.

Cheers, D

yeah i sniped it @ 3960 about 5 days back but when it went to snipe with 5 secs to go it was too low and lost. I had an initial bid of 2500 which cleared the reserve.

I was not willing to pay over 3960, so good luck to the high bidder hopefully it is as good as the description.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
