Sooooo, it's that time again....
My near immaculate 1994 Sports Gear RVR is up for grabs
Price $4500 - Slightly negotiable, but no silly offer considering it's condition
Ive had it for over and year, picked it up in Brisbane at 116,000 k's and its now at about 143,000 k's. I bought it from a man who's parents just died, and they had it for over 10 years as a grocery picker-uperer... And considering ive had 4 others previous RVR's, i should know, the condition was incredible... And still is.
For example, most RVR front driver seats have a tear in them and feel saggy, however these seats are still solid with no tears whatsoever.
As i do alot of driving up and down the coast chasing waves ive spent alot of money going over nearly everything to make sure it was 100% reliable. There was no cutting corners, everything ive bought for this car has been top of the range gear.
Just bought 6 months Rego on the 12th May, will come with a RWC
List of things replaced old for new over the last year:
- Metal Cometic head gasket, plus shaved/machined head
- Water pump
- New timing belt
- Thermostat
- Battery
- 4 matching new tyres (still 60-70%)
- New Radiator and cap
- NGK Spark Plugs
- Radiator hoses
- Steering racks
- Steering boots
- All new engine mounts all round
- New air con gas
- New brake pads all round and machined disks
- Rear KYB shocks
- Front EVO7 heavy duty shocks and springs
- Front adjustable camber plates
- Pedders wheel balance and alignment plus extra camber adjustment with the EVO7 suspension
- Fuel filter
- Standard fitting K&N air filter
- HID headlights, parkers, rear tailights and reverse lights. Plus interior lights
- Plus more that i have probably forgotten about
Car has been serviced at my mechanics who has looked after me for over 10 years, and i personally replace the oil and filters every 7-8000 k's from home.
Have receipts for all major work and parts
Inside i have replaced a few things, including:
- Kenwood Double din head unit
- 10 speaker system throughout the car including 6 speaker 3 way split system at the front and 4 speaker splits at the rear
- Small amp under drivers seat
- Sound deadner in the front door panels
- Phone holder
- Newer style HSG upgraded rear pull-out seats for the rear
- Car was entirely detailed when i got it and mostly stays that way
- Car is washed at least every week or fortnight at the latest
Comes with genuine BSS rims, which were apparently a optional extra for new cars in Japan back then.
Car still has genuine glass panels from Japan, including Japanese reflective tint on the rear panels. Nearly impossible to see in and ive never been hassled by anyone about it
Car is AUTO, and the gearbox (apparently) has had a full gearbox service from the previous owners... Cant be confirmed but it drives as smooth as any new car ive driven
As it's EVO3 running gear ive only ran it on 98 RON Premium fuel
Handleing wise, out of the 5 previous ones ive had this one handles the best, with a combination of the EVO7 suspension and low k's.
Not modified in any other way or boosted any more than standard, doesnt even have a boost guage
Performance wise, its a pretty quick car without trying. The auto slows the initial take off down but once moving puts you back in the seat fairly well considering its all stock standard
Basically the car runs perfectly and after all the effort ive put in should be trouble free for next owner for quite some time.
The only reason why im selling it is my other RVR which ive spent the last 2 years building is ready to be put back on the road, and even though id love to, there's no point in running 2 RVR's...
Bad Points: The usual rust spots are apparent on the roof and also bonnet. I was quoted $600 to get it all cleared up and repainted, but havnt bothered.
Everything electrical works in the whole car apart from the mirror switch, again something i havnt bothered about, it may just be a simple plug or fuse that need replaced
Previous owner backed into a post and bent the rear bar in a fraction, hardly noticeable and again something i havnt bothed fixing
The old keyless entry is intermittent, and works when it feels like it.
Apart from the rust spots on the top roof lining and the rear bar nudge the panels on the car are like new, a few scratches but definitely no dents, and for a 22 year old car the paint work is in amazing condition... As i work from home, it's parked undercover most of the day and night
Ideally i would like to see this car go to an enthusiast like myself or at least someone who will look after it, as this one is, arguably, one of the best standard running SSG RVR's in Australia
Located on the Gold Coast, can arrange a test drive anytime.
Call or text me on 0422878114 for more details.
I run a transport brokerage too, so can organise cheaper interstate transport for anyone interested in buying it elsewhere
