Kevin,

Your eyes aren't deceiving you, you're just a dummy.

What you are looking at are OEM-JDM-HKS-TRD-JSPEC limited edition wheel caps!!

I've got a set for you if you want, they're only 2.5lbs each - perfect for racing!!

Love,

Z!

where's 613??
well, the pic sure *looks* nice..

Hahahaha, Z!, you gotta hook me up with this JDM performance wheel cover! It'll sure look nice on my AE86. Wow, I never knew you had so much connections with these badass JDM parts. Hook me up!!! $350 and I'll take them from you.

Mr. Sinister,

I'm not sure. I was going to call just for the hell of asking the mileage on his car.

613 area code? Hmm, could this be in Waterloo area? I don't know..

It sure looks nice, heh?

Kevin

I think 613 is Ottawa and Kingston.

TorontoBud · 08-25-2001, 03:35 AM

Hey let us know what the mileage is when you find out. The car looks real neat from the pic.

mr_sinister · 08-25-2001, 10:25 AM

hey guys.. I talked to the owner.. the guy said the body has no rust, and he just repainted it last year or something.. the only thing that concerned me was he said teh fuel door/hatch release levers under teh drivers seat had rusted out.. so I'm thinking that could mean the floor pans are rusty too??
I dunno.. but he said the body is really rust free.. and it has like 350K km's on it..

the only thing is they said it's somewhere near cornwall.. closer to the quebec border (?? their description, not mine.. I have no idea where cornwall is).. so that sounds pretty far hehe..

the couple that own it live on a farm in the boonies out there.. they are a 'toyota family'.. the wife told me they have like 4 toyota's, and teh husband is selling this car to buy a newer celica.

varietta · 08-25-2001, 11:45 AM

Thanks for the info.

Wow, 350,000kms on the car. It's garaunteed to have alot of rust underneath the car. But the car has been repainted very nicely. Looks like the car has really low mileage from looking at the picture.

I have no idea where Cornwall is either. Hmm, Quebec. Haha ya, that sounds pretty far alright. Even farther from you since you're from London. :wink:

Another Toyota freak! Hehe :razz:

Thanks,
Kevin

it has hub caps....

hmmmmm...1500 ehh? cornwall not that far...three hour drive if that...

Nick

varietta · 08-27-2001, 07:40 PM

$1500 is not that bad, I suppose. Why, are you considering getting this car for spare parts Nick?

Perhaps it's sold already? It's been over a week.

Z! I still want these hubcaps. Okay, if $350 isn't enough, I'll give you $450! :razz:

Kevin

mr_sinister · 08-27-2001, 11:19 PM

I think there's a good chance its *not* sold.. they told me they live out in the country.. and that's out in the country from *cornwall*.. which, to Torontonians, is already out in the country hehe.. so I think there's not too much demand for a car like that out there..

mr. sinister

Jzs147-RR · 08-28-2001, 12:15 AM

That is a good price but i wounder how rusted it is under the car..That car would be nice and close for me.

varietta · 08-28-2001, 12:23 AM

I garauntee that this car has more than enough rust underneath the car.

A car with over 300kms, oh ya, for sure! It's a rust bucket alright.

Kevin

mr_sinister · 08-28-2001, 08:47 AM

call them up and ask the guy to look under it for you.. they seemed like pretty nice people.. and they don't seem like they're trying to sell the car at all costs.. the wife told me they put it in trader.ca just to "get a feel" for if they could sell it or not..
and also, the wife said her husband 'didn't like to drive it in the winter'.. so I don't htink its been winter driven for hte past 2 years or something... and maybe it hasn't been winter driven all that much at all.. i dunno..
