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

    • I'm looking for a direct bolt on turbo upgrade for my 93 R33 GTST.  Anyone have experience with this Greddy T620Z turbo upgrade? I'd like to be able to run about 300hp to the rear wheels without putting too much strain on the turbo. I do daily drive the car.  Pretty stock car with basic bolt ons (exhaust outlet, down pipe, high flow cat and catback exhaust along with intake and FMIC).  I'l probably have a Haltech plug n play on the car before installing the turbo. https://www.greddy.com/products/turbo-upgrade-ecr33-er34-t620z-rb25-11520057   Also, any thought on this much boost on a 30 year old motor with 250,000KMs?  Engine feels/sounds strong for what it's worth.   Thanks you in advance!
    • Hey all, I'm working on a project car and I believe I made some mistakes. I'm looking to remove the clear coat from my car on most panels (except for panels where the paint has blistered, I will sand this), but wanted to know if these steps are correct?   1) Get a red scuff pad (abrasive one) instead of sand paper to remove the shine from the surface 2) get 400 grit sand paper and go over the entire car with a random orbital sander so the surface is smooth and the primer can grab onto something 3) On the blistered paint, go over it with around 120 grit sand paper, go to 240 to smooth out the scratches, then finish on 400 grit. Anything to add in here or any feedback?
    • Agreed, another vote for the Haltech CAN wideband.  No voltage offset errors is a beautiful thing.
    • Just get a Haltech CAN wideband, no need to wire any delay circuits, or relay, etc. Since I've moved to a Haltech CANbus wideband, I have not replaced a single sensor for over 5 years (if not longer, can't remember when moved to Haltach).
