0 false 18 pt 18 pt 0 0 false false false Hello, I’m selling my Celica GTS 2zz-ge swapped 1986 Toyota MR2. I’ve owned the car since 08’. Did the engine swap 3 years ago. Now that the car cannot be smogged in California I must let her go to a new home. Engine had approx 85k on the clock when purchased. Have driven about 10k since. Here are some of the pro’s/con’s about this fun little beast: Pro’s: - 2000 Toyota Celica GTS 2zz-ge Engine w/ C60 6-speed manual trans- Engine maintenance completed before installed (timing chain, tensioners, rails, oil pump, water pump, lift bolts, solenoid filters)- Engine has only had Mobil 1 5w-30 since it's birth. I knew the previous owner before the Celica was wrecked.- Lightened flywheel with OEM + clutch. Drives and feels like stock.- Full evap/emissions have been converted to 2000 standards. SMOG report included. - Injen cold air intake, HKS SC Exhaust, DD Engineering Headers - Rebuilt steering rack with new boots, bushings, tie rods. - New clutch and brake master cylinder - Techna-fit Stainless brake lines - Ground Control coilovers with KYB GR2 shocks (rides comfy!) - 16” SSR Longchamp KAI XR-4Z 3 piece rims. Tires have lots of meat! - Great sounding stereo system! o Alpine USB supported headunit o Custom sub box w/ TB 8” high excursion driver o New sub amp, new door and dash speakers (pulled my old setup) - AC Converted to R134a using 2zz compressor. Blows cold even in CA summer heat - REAL Nardi TRD steering wheel w/ Personal hub. - New leather shifter boot with Blitz knob. Celica GTS Petals. - Heater/AC controls converted to 87+ style (fixes recirc issue) - New windshield - Onboard OBDII monitor - Modified Clock that includes outside temp sensor - 2nd gen MR2 front map light - 87+ Black Headliner with Sunroof cover - Clifford IG alarm w/ Engine start, prox sensor and 1 touch up/down windows - Heated seats!!- JDM Side Markets and TwinCam 16g sticker (shipped from Japan) Con’s: - Paint is fairly clean however body isn’t perfect. - No major rust on the body however there are a couple cracks in the paint where rust will show through. Wheel arches are clean. - Minor engine oil leak (I believe it’s the front main crank) - Minor trans leak (axle seal or speed sensor) - Interior isn’t perfect but dash pad has 0 cracks! - Not street legal in California :( - Injen intake causes high idle. Known issue Video's for reference:Cold Start: http://youtu.be/e0DLGtlyHhoNormal Driving: http://youtu.be/uHhP7iZcRj0 Under Load: http://youtu.be/jh9K-Zk7j6I $500 is due with-in 24 hours of auction ending. Additional payment can be discussed after auction close. Would prefer either a bank check/transfer or personal check once it clears. You’re more than welcome to pick it up yourself or hire a shipping company. The car is well suited for a cross country drive. Please reach out to me if you have any questions. Good luck and Happy Bidding!! On Mar-08-15 at 11:50:55 PDT, seller added the following information: I wanted to add some additional details about the car. I haven't driven it really in about a year due to tags in California. - Registration is good till May. I have 2 temp passes to move the car.- The EVAP swap only allows you to fill the tank 7/8 of the way. Same issue with V6 MK2 swap guys. Not a big issue but wanted to call it out.- Reverse is a bit tricky due to the extra gate added to the shifter. I've added a reverse light on the dash so you know when you've found it :)- 5-4 downshift is not the happiest shift. 1-6 works beautifully without any grind. Known issue with 00-01 C60 transmissions, I just didn't feel like upgrading the syncros.- There is no trunk interior as the tail lights leak water. You can order new seals on kbox.ca to fix the issue.- This car does have a rear sway bar! Not all 86's had them. I pulled this one off another car a while ago.- I have a couple extra oil filters. Will include :)On Mar-10-15 at 11:17:23 PDT, seller added the following information: I guess I've hit the max limit for photos but wanted to upload the BAR compliance checklist. Here is my feedback regarding the call-outs: https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7609/16154770244_cdfe1d15ab_c.jpg OE Header - No way around that one. Work-around would be to weld an MR2 Spyder 1zz header to the stock 2zz flange and cover with OE shielding. I will give the new owner the old 2zz manifold. OE Intake - I purchased an MR2 spyder OE intake that can be used. Didn't feel like messing with it. CAT - I BAR'd the car as a 2001 (didn't have the orig receipt with me at the time). The engine is out of an 00 Celica. The Magnaflow CARB cat should match the group requirement however needs to be validated. (BAR is lazy) Computer Feedback Other - BAR stated that readiness for the EGR showed NA. The 2zz doesn't have an EGR nor did it ever. They wanted me to have the ECU re-flashed by a dealer and bring receipt. No thanks! Readiness code - There is one standing EVAP readiness code which requires 2 full drive cycles. Unfortunately I haven't driven the car enough due to reg for that readiness to pass. I haven't checked it since it was BAR'd. Misc Emissions Other - Again, they want validation that the ECU matches the engine the car is being bar'd for. The 2zz ECM is mounted in the engine bay of the Celica. When I pulled the engine, I can guarantee they match. Enjoy :) On Mar-10-15 at 16:07:16 PDT, seller added the following information: Addition Video posted. Someone had a question regarding the shifter gate and if it felt the same as the old C52 transmission. Answer is yes with the exception there is an additional horizontal gate for reverse. My apologies the video isn't in HD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-NbOrmOM1Q
