TERKIN Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 been 2 years since my last ancient rwd turbo car so i figured it was time for another financial mistake. always liked the soarer and the 1jz has been on my engines to own tick list for ages now so when this came up under 100miles away and for less than 3k had to place a bid! its been wired by a blind man and already left me stranded but its dam fun even on stock boost. its a 1991 imported 1jz-gte slushbox RMJ, TriggerFish, ibrahimx2001 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TERKIN Posted May 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 2 days after i bought it i took it out for a run came back tried to start it and it wouldn't even turn over and was making a quiet beeping sound,it had 3 different leds around the dash and switches. i assumed it had an after market immobliser fitted so i decided to take the battery off what a bad move that was! the loudest alarm ive ever heard kicked in reminded me of hammonds bmw in the e30 episode. i found the gash harness ripped the earth and live and it fired right up took me under 5 mins to defeat it and im no car thief after doing that i lost door locks boot release and the car thought the door was open when the head lights were on. set about removing it all and found a true horror story! wires literally twisted and taped into everything RMJ and Markxr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
