jread Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Going to check this out tomorrow hoping to buy it and swap it into my Loyale. Think its a good candidate? I can't browse this forum without a proxy recently (technology problems) so haven't been able to find the thread I was looking at previously. Mostly just worried about it being automatic but I'm pretty sure thats fine, just wondering about the electronics? Also slightly worried about the fit on an ej25, some people say it will some people say you need to start cutting. I'm not too against cutting but rebuilding and welding anything structural I'd rather avoid as my skills are minimal. http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/cto/5302090658.html Expecting to rebuild it, replace timing belts and head gasket.

jread Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Scott I'll probably get the plate from you but don't have the money to drop on work I can do myself even if it takes longer. Maybe we can trade more yard work for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jread Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 So I checked out the white car today and it makes some noise. The engine seems to run good. The guy says he brought it to a couple mechanics who says its a flex plate/ dust plate about to break off. When starting it there's lots of noise which slowly dies down. When idling it makes a bit of noise and stays relatively quite to 3k at which point it makes a racket. If you switch into reverse or drive it makes slightly more noise at idle, neutral is about the same as park. What I noticed was it was burning coolant and there is more than likely a blown head gasket. He also said that it overheated (needle went to h) the last time he drove a long distance, but not to the point of shutting off. He seems willing to let it go cheap around 200 bucks. What do yoy guys think? Also consider I'm in Canada and these are harder to come by. I'm keen to grab it doesn't seem like the engine is blown and if it is its not the biggest loss. But if people think its for sure going to be blown after reaching h then I won't grab it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
