My goodness that thing's clean.

Being an L24E it might be desirable to someone if only for the engine.

I'm trying to picture it hotted up, ie. big wheels, lowered, colour coded and a decent huffer pumping air into the the motor, but just can't see it which is a shame because it looks unbelievably straight.

If there's no rust and paint is great I'd push for a bit over 2k..Maybe 2.5k with rwc. That front end is gorgeous, Little features like the headlight covers and rim trim rings add to appeal. This is one MR30 that should stay original and be cared for.

Just had a chat with Dad as I have not looked at the car in a while.

Apparently...

- No rust

- Never been in an accident

- Motor is original and un-opened

- My Grandparents bought it brand new in 1983 and have owned it ever since

- Has been well maintained

I am going to go and have a look properluy on the weekend to get a good feel for where it is at.

Getting a RWC will definitely add value to the car. At a guess this is one of the rare examples where the money you invest in the RWC will be more than recovered in the sale price. Have a mechanic do a pre RWC inspection and give you a list - if there are any, of the things that need to be fixed before he signs the certificate.

A bit of polish and Amour All and that engine bay would look a million dollars, too.

You know that Vic Roads has dramatically reduced the requirements for what constitutes a roadworthy windscreen? Now a windscreen is only unroadworthy if it has a star +16mm in the area covered by the wipers, a crack +150mm covered by the wipers or is so generally badly damaged, scratched or discoloured you can't see out of it.

Most mechanics ignore the Vicroads requirements and still pick the windscreen over damage outside the area covered by the wipers, or insignificant marks that do not impair the visibility of the road. This is very irritating.

Good luck with your sale at any rate.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
