I came across what I thought was a cheap import AZ3 online down the country that had some nice JDM bits on it at the start of the week. After talking with the owner a bit during the week, I took a road trip down to Bandon to take a look this morning. 7 hour round trip, but turned into 8 or 9 with talking to the seller, bit of food, petrol etc.
So, we took off at half 6 this morning. Half an hour in a it was petrol stop time!
We met up with the owner at around 10am and he took us to his friends house where the car was kept. It turned out to actually be a Eunos Presso. It wasn't as clean as it looked in the pictures, but I nothing unrepairable and it would still be well worth getting even just to break for parts. In the pictures it had a JDM wraparound spoiler, but this had been replaced by an after market spoiler and hatch garnish. So, we opened her up to find the interior had got pretty mouldy, but that wiped off pretty easily and the seller knocked 50 quid off the price, so happy enough. There were a few nice surprises when I got in. The car had a full set of original Eunos Presso mats, in better condition than my own, genuine stainless steel sills and that missing wraparound spoiler in the back seat. We jumped the car and it kicked into life. It sounded and moved very well, and the waterpump issue was just a leak. So, by half 11 it was time for petrol stop number 2!
Now - seeing as its a Eunos Presso I figured it was a 1.6. But the log book has it down as a 1.5. Here's the engine bay if anyone can shed some light on it for me!
The car is likely to be broke in aid of my KLZE fund. I'll probably end up keeping some of the bits for myself, but the kit and altezza lights will more than likely go.
-
Looks like a 1.5 to me?
Also I'd be interested in buying front bumper. I've already got wrap around spoiler so I'm nearly there on jdm spec :) plus I wouldnt need to re spray it.
If front bonnet and badge is any good I'd consider a road trip.
-
Ya just looking for the splitter or the whole bumper?
-
Supose splitter is all I need. but if I had to road trip it ( just edited last post re bonnet ) Id take the bumper also .
-
Just noticed skirts too !!!. I could have the whole kit and not worry about spraying.
Pm me price on bonnet, splitter alone, bumper with splitter, and skirts. And price for job lot :)
-
The badge is okay, no worse or better than the one on my own. Not in the best condition but I'll take some pictures tomorrow. The bonnet looked pretty good, but the bumper is a bit worse for wear. The splitter is in very good nic, one mark on it though. But as I said, I'll throw up some pictures for ya tomorrow!
-
The skirts have dibs on them, but if that falls through I'll get onto ya. I'll pm you tomorrow once I've a proper look at the bonnet. I'll probably be looking around £80 for the splitter.
-
Cool, ahh jdm rear bumper too lol.
-
Haha, bumper is in good nic - spent the whole trip home looking at it :lol:
-
Just had my first drive of it - fuck me it can shift. For a 1.5 that yoke is well able to move! Tempted to turbo and track it.
-
I'm really in two minds about this car now - break it or turbo and track it.
-
that has an erebuni rear spoiler if you decide to shift it, nice looking car anyway

Looks too nice to break.. so you should do the later as its got the LSD :D
flog on the skirts and spoiler to help fund the turbo?!"
-
If you wanted to swap silver parts and still make some dollar let us know. That way you can still keep it and track it without the worry of damaging parts.
-
Coilovers in 8) Very happy! Here's a pic from work the owner of the Levin sent me…
Fuck all clearance underneath, no way could I go lower on these roads.
-
:D Thats sooo much better looking now :D good on ya 8)
You'll find your car just disapears now behind other cars in the car park as you walk away from it..Look forward to some better pictures :wink:

Came back from the cinema today and my flatmate said I should go down to the underground car park to see my car… some absolute cunt had decided to spray the entire contents of a fire extinguisher all over it. Every inch of the car was covered in the shit. Broke my heart :cry:
Only saving grace is that there was no other damage done, but what the fuck is wrong with people to be going around doing stuff like this? And in a private car park! Hopefully the CCTV shows something and I meet whichever prick did it in the elevator someday. Especially annoying since I have just got it looking and sitting exactly how I wanted and a buddy of mine valeted it for me for nothing last weekend. Extra shit week as my girlfriends car decided to shit itself as well. Balls!
-
Just mindless idiots arent they probably jealous of a nice car. Hopefully the CCTV can pick them out and just bump into them one night!
