What a bargin well done :)

Nice pickup for $700, which model is it?

Still prefer the 102 sedans over the hatches, but that's because I'm biased :P

What spec is it by the way? If it's an RV then you've hit the jackpot, they have the best interior by far (although doesn't look like it from the one blurry interior photo)

its the csi i think, its got a 7afe with extractors and 2 1/4: sports exhaust, it sounds really good, interior is really clean, 3 days before the headgasket blew, the previous owner put 4 brand new tyres on it so it was an excellent buy

Won't be a CSi if it's got the 7A, only Conquest and up had the 1.8 whilst the CSi was stuck with the 4AFE (and rear drum brakes too, easy way to tell).

good buy mate!

[islander_s13]

looks like a good deal, how much roughly would it cost to fix a blown headgasket? i know you said your brother did it but thought you might know, ive already searched the forum and couldnt find an answer so ill be posting this question in the camry section as well.

hey mate we got the parts at trade price and we did the labour ourself it only cost us $120 all together, but if you cant do it your self and cant get the parts at trade price it could cost you alot

cheers

Those aren't extractors, just what the normal manifold looks like if you take the heatshield off.

And I'm glad I've got extractors :P

[hosking9898]

the extractors arn't on yet, i had them from my 4afe, which were originally of a 7afe, but just put the standard exhaust manifold back on the 4afe

[hosking9898]

motor blowing alot of smoke and burning alot of oil, got a price on an imprt 7afe with low k's $650 with 12 months parts and labour warranty, is that a good price??

cheers ben

why not purchase a 20V. You'll be more happy with that then a boring 7A-FE :D
