2004 VY S Manual Sedan!

Risky

Guest
I'll be looking at a VF II SS-V Sedan in Manual no doubt.

Car should be alright, it's got a slight tap noise at the top which i believe may be a failing lifter as it's very intermittent but it runs well.
Ordering a new PCM/ECU next week with reconditioned standard injectors so it can go back to factory tune and hopefully be good on fuel with the cleaned out injectors.

Before I sell it I'll rip out the headunit, leather(possibly) and diff and change them back considering doesn't matter how many mods you got on your car you don't get anything for them.

I figured you'd go for the last of the last. So would I, but I'm still debating whether I should or not.

I've seen guys around where I live thinking they'll make a small fortune by modding cheap VT's & VX's. One guy here modded a VX wagon which is slung to the ground, sounds like crap & body work that even wreckers wouldn't even keep on hand. It's easier to keep them or sell to someone you know.

wtf you buying reco injectors for, where are the ones you took out orignally and i dumped the ones from the current engine in the pile with the rest of the ****.

Buy some new o-rings and use the original ones.

as for the diff, well you can swap it with mine :p

I did use original but the thing is better/cleaner injectors do shitloads for fuel milage.

On that note, you still have my coil pack at your house.

Haha if you pull it out you can have it for $400. Only done 5000klms ;)

Pity you had such a bad run with the motor, really about the worst story I have heard. Best of luck for the future
