Its a K20 transplant. Given the level of modification I doubt the owner informed anyone of the changes made :pac:

Toyotafanboi · 23-09-2014 02:33PM

you'd see clean standard ek's making €6k ish. i reckon it's worth it. one of those rare instances where an engine transplant actually increases the value. i mean bare k20 engines go for over €1k don't they?

djimi · 23-09-2014 02:37PM

Really? I didn't realise EKs went for so much.

I did some looking and Icetronix charge something like €4k for a K20 transplant so I guess that car is on the money price wise.

I'd love to drive one; a civic with a k20 (at least i presume that's what it was) left my dc2 for absolute dead away from traffic lights a while back!

an ek9 i should have stated. i suppose its like most things, a lot have been wrecked at this stage so clean examples are rising in price.

€12k for a 22 year old Toyota F355

The horror! The wheel arches look horrendous!

Doesn't even mention what engine is in it or anything important like NCT or tax etc.. I know it's 2.0 litre but is it a turbo. You don't want to be driving around in your pretend ferrari and get left behind by a TDi.

Taylor365 · 01-10-2014 08:09PM

over 19k sterling spent on it to get it to where it is

....he probably has a glass of wine every night rocking back and forth.

Hachiko · 01-10-2014 10:29PM

19k stg would get a dacent enough porsche...

For 10k it doesn't exactly have the best bits you could put on a k20.

No RBC, k100 instead of a kpro and a AEM induction kit instead of a tegiwa/GruppeM.

I've seen better specced k20 civics sell for less so wouldn't agree with the price to be honest.

The log book issue is also something I would not like having to deal with. If you meet a Garda who knows what to look for, you'd be ****ed.

ShadowHearth · 02-10-2014 12:52PM

In fairness that K20 looks fantastic and I always had respect and secret love to k20 ek9s. I dont even know if asking 10k for it is in dreamer category.

nice example, but jaysus!

Foxhole Norman · 02-10-2014 08:12PM

If that yoke is in county Cork then it will sell at close to that price I'd say, people seem to have a mad horn for them down here.

Still a huge dreamer though!

ANYONE describing this car as a stunner is already deluded. I didn't read past that word.
A Ferrari or a Lambo are stunning cars, not an ancient Jap crapbox.

And some fake walnut dash and even a/c. Sure that has to be nearly 1900 euros worth there alone :pac:

When the ad said stunner like it was something amazing I just thought of cruising down the town some how I don't think you'd get to many jealous looks from people as that word insinuates you would.

Didn't know where this should go but I'm just in aw that someone decided to put a straight diesel in this! Surely he could have gotten a Glanza engine

Connollys bought this at auction 2 weeks ago for €40k... Trying to flip it for nearly 30 grand profit. It's a seriously good example but holy fcuk the price is on a different plane of existence.... I give up

yeah, but they added so much value ripping out the original engine and placing a dayysul into it, she'll do 60 to the gallon now lad!
What a dingbat. Car is practically worthless now.

young lads will get a stiffy for it now it's diesel, but in fairless a fairly stock turbo petrol model will do 40-45mpg if you drive it any way reservedly, sacrafising 70bhp (almost 50% of the cars power) for the sake of 15mpg seems crazy, not to mention the more expensive tax and explaining to insurers about some obscure engine swap.

that car seems to have been pretty much constantly for sale for the last 6 months. everyone must buy it, then feel disappointed. dearest i seen it was for €3200 in wexford.

But it's had a 60 point health check that has to be worth 30k there straight away :pac:
It's hard to see anyone having 70k to throw at it. But I suppose they wouldn't have bought it if they didn't think there was some market for it.

They think its 2006 again, where Irish people would buy a classic car in the UK for 600 pound and sell it here for €2k. Then people in housing estates would park them in rhe rain and wonder why there was only a puddle of rust left a year later.
I'd say Ireland was responsible for the destruction of thousands of classic cars in that time.

I can't post a link from my phone, but they're also selling an old 2.8 S class Merc for 14k!
