dmyers151 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) Hello Everyone,The time has come for me to sell my car and move on. I'm selling because I recently got married and bought a house with no garage. For the last 5 years I've been storing the car in a rental building that I split with some friends. However, with the mortgage payment, it's difficult for me to afford rent on the building as well, and I refuse to store the car outside. We're also going to be starting a family eventually, so I need a car that can accommodate a kid. Basic Info:1988 Conquest TSiAbout 80k original milesStock, original engine with balance shafts and jet valves removed5 speed transBlack leather interiorSunroof Modifications:Full 3" exhaust with resonator onlyMK1 Intercooler hard pipes and BOVSS braided turbo oil feed lineSS braided turbo coolant feed lineAll high quality silicone hose couplers with t-bolt clampsAll vacuum lines replaced with quality siliconeDelphi stock sized fuel injectors (65lb & 95lb)Hallman manual boost controller, stock 12A turbo at ~17psi3" GM MAF and MAF translator, street tunedCustom aluminum radiator based on a smallblock v8 race radiatorD2 coiloversST sway bars front & rearS&M front strut barTEP rear strut bar with battery traySS braided brake lines front & rearDimpled & slotted brake rotors front and rearSS braided clutch slave lineOptima red top battery mounted in hatchSHP 8" front wheels, standard 8" rear wheels powder coated gloss black, with 245/45/16 tires all aroundCustom made polished aluminum wheel center capsSparco 4pt harnessesEarly model manual seatbelt center console with coin tray and accordion shift bootDelrin shift knob, very comfortable and simple lookingAEM wideband AF guageAutoMeter Phantom; Boost/Vac, Oil pressure and Water Temp gaugesBTSG short shifter. Shortest & tightest shifts of any SQ short shifter I've felt.Powder coated valve cover, oil pan, and turbo heat shields Things I Removed:Full AC removal, installed non-AC duct under dashRear seats (will come with car)ABS systemCruise controlAutomatic seat beltsCharcoal canisterEGRHad no stereo when I bought it, but all the wiring is intact I tried not to cut any wires or plugs when I removed everything, so any future owner would be able to replace it all without too much trouble in that aspect. Things it needs or coud use:- Could use an alignment, several suspension changes have been made since the last professional alignment.- Possibly new front tires. It passed NYS inspection a few weeks ago but they probably only have another year or so left.- Intermittent wipers don't work, just needs the wiper motor pulled out and cleaned/re-greased.- Driver's seat left side bolster has a hole- Has typical frame rail rot, but not terrible. I have two reproduction frame rails that come with the car.- Has an exhaust rattle when you hit bumps, nothing major. Never bothered me enough to fix.- Random interior rattles that could probably be easily fixed.- Has a very small oil leak from the rear main seal. Its not enough to register on the dipstick so I never bothered fixing. It just leaves a small spot on the floor if parked for a few weeks- Trans output shaft seal needs replacing. I've got the seal, just no time to install it. The trans shifts fine as is. Will grind on fast shifts at high RPM, but it's my understanding that most SQ's do, and I never really drive that way anyways. Otherwise it needs nothing. I've been driving it about 60 miles a day to and from work with zero issues. I replaced the clutch slave cylinder about 3 weeks ago, the OEM one finally gave out. I change the oil far more often than it needs to be, probably 3 times a season with a total of about 6k miles. I've always used Mobil1 10w30 and BOSCH filters. I've got a drawer full of OEM fuel filters, seals, gaskets, and random stuff that would come with the car; spare alternator, spare power steering pump, stock sway bars, etc... Post up or PM me if you're interested or have any questions. It's tough trying to describe a car to sell when you never thought you'd be selling it, so I'm sure I missed something. Asking $5500, could be interested in trades for something with 4 doors, or easier to sell to the masses, lol Thanks Edited September 29, 2014 by dmyers151 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

importwarrior Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 love this car!!!!!! hate to see you sell it.you need to rethink about keeping it. you will miss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmyers151 Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I know I'll miss it, but I just can't justify keeping it any longer. It costs me $200+ a month to have a place to store it and work on it, which is 40 minutes from home. The house I just bought in January has no garage, and I'm in no position to build one any time soon. It'll sell, and I'll be sad to see it go, but there are plenty of other things I have to do to keep me occupied. If I do end up building a garage, or we upgrade to a house with one, you can be sure another car will be on my list. For now though, it's just irresponsible of me to keep it.
