Hey guys, up for sale is my 1993 Holden Barina 5 door (white) 1.3L automatic

I have acquired a VT commodore for cheap so its time to get rid of the 3rd car

125,000km on the clock - wouldn't pay too much attention to that

The good:

6 months rego (January 2015)

Major service just completed including

-timing belt

-engine and transmission oil changed

-air, fuel, engine and transmission filters changed

-spark plugs changed

-changed the front pads and has new brake fluid (also comes with rear pads, but I didn't change them as it didn't need it)

-rocker cover gasket changed

AC is cold

Awesome on fuel, approx. 8L of fuel per 100km around town

Mechanically its sound and hasn't failed me in the time ive had it

The bad:

The body has a few dings in it but nothing too bad

The tappets are a bit loud during start up until the engine is warm when the quiet down. (I have personally adjusted the tappets) Thicker oil should quiet them down

There is a small oil leak from engine, not sure where from as I was never concerned enough to worry about it

Only chasing $990, Awesome little daily

Located Prestons

0432528844 or PM for pics

cheers

    • Here is the before and after of the scraping/sanding of the IC pads on the tachometer board. For the fix mentioned in this thread. And yes it worked fine after. Just a note if you change any components on the board the tach calibration can be wrong showing the wrong idle etc...only problem is once it is installed back in the cluster you can't get to it to adjust...ouch! My fix was to cut out the calibration pot (the blue one) from the board and run it with two wires to the fuse panel under the dash where I could adjust the idle calibration once everything was installed.  
    • After an excellent condition, working! oem radio for a 97 r33 And the steering wheel shroud/cover as mines a little bit scratched up Am in Melbourne
    • So my exhaust is loud and sounds awesome (good thing) but also is very loud when coming and going, dont want to piss off the neighours etc Are the varex adjustable mufflers any good? I contacted them but they dont make r33 specific exhausts Ive also see the adjustable inlets on this site but apparently they might restrict airflow too much which wouldnt be good for the engine. Would prefer something thats adjustable from in cabin so i can change it on the fly, dont really want to put in one of those permanent exhaust tip things.  Any other recommendations would be appreciated!
    • You don't need to lean as far to pour the oil in, or change the spark plugs either 😛
    • Indeed, it is much easier to get at the filter with the engine on a stand
