sanitariumite Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) This Conquest has been my baby for the past 4 years, but I've recently purchased an '02 Firebird Formula and don't have anywhere to store the Conquest, so I've decided to sell instead of watching her collect dust in the driveway. I bought the car with 10,000 miles on a poorly rebuilt engine, and it lasted 2 weeks before spinning a rod bearing. I spent nearly $4,000 in parts, machine work, and labor to have the current engine rebuilt, and went through a 1,500 mile break in period (The engine didn't see any boost for the first 500 miles, and didn't see about 3psi until 1000 miles). I haven't run anything but Castrol Syntec 10w-30 since the rebuild, and the fuel system hasn't seen anything but Premium (Chevron or 76 ONLY) The car has run well since then, with no major issues, and still runs well with only 2 minor mechanical issues. There's a lifter tick somewhere in the valvetrain, and it's been through 2 turbos in 6 weeks. There aren't any oil or coolant leaks, and oil pressure is right on par so I assume either coolant or oil are being blocked from the turbo (probably one of the stock metal lines used to feed coolant to or from the turbo). I just flushed, and replace the transmission with Amsoil synthetic fluid, and did a full oil change (less than 300 miles ago). Any other issues with the car are cosmetic. There are a few small dings and dents on the body from careless drivers in parking lots, the clearcoat is peeling off parts of the hood and fenders, and the exhaust rattles (hangers just need to be adjusted). The car runs good, has been treated exceptionally well, and is in decent condition. the only reason I'm selling her is because I don't have anywhere for long-term storage, and can't afford to insure two vehicles right now. 2.6l Turbocharged Intercooled 4cyl w/ Limited Slip Differential 5 Speed Manual Transmission Maroon Leather Interior (Partway through swap to black, I will throw in the rest of the black interior peices) Zexius All Season Performance Tires (70-80% Treadlife left) Sunroof 160,000 Miles Rebuilt engine (18,000 miles ago) Engine Rebuild .020 Overbore Balance Shaft Removal Tim C. 284 Screamin' Banshee Cam Marnal Aluminum Non-Jetvalve cast head Schneider HD Head Springs Hydraulic lifters 1.6 Ratio Roller-Rockers Castrol Syntec 10w-30 (Only oil used since rebuilt) 12a Turbo (Rebuilt with 14b internals) *DM OVCP w/ silicone couplings HKS Knockoff Dual Trumpet BOV (Loud) 1gMAS w/ K&N Air Filter A/C Compressor, Condenser, and lines removed Blue Silicone Vacuum Lines Sylvania Silverstar Headlamps 2.5" *DM Turbo-back exhaust (no cat) Dynomax Ultra-flo welded muffler Exedy Heavy-duty street clutch & Pressure Plate (Less than 300 miles on clutch) Brand new Driver's side CV Axle (Less than 300 miles on CV) Autometer Temp.
