Rust buying blow

Exterior wise I'll be changing it to aftermarket, so the facelift isn't something I'd consider to pay extra for. Same for the little triangle glass area around the wing mirrors. Water collects in there - again, warranty job so most should be fine now. Underneath, nothing as far as I'm aware, but we'll see in 5 more years how my car is doing. You do not want to go over bhp on stock internals or you'll blow the engine. And over you're risking to kill the transmission too, so there's that. You should ask someone with a turbo, but I'm not sure how they drive their cars, but I honestly think mine would go 'bang'. Either way, the most reliable way to more power would be Cosworth supercharger or forged engine with a turbo so you won't have to worry about blowing it up. De-catting the whole system will make the car really loud, but I've never come across any funky smells, just bleeding ears. Well in terms of power I wouldn't go anywhere more than hp, I'm more after the nice blow off sound and some extra power that some people say the gt86 lacks. You have to drive one more than once, and in a spirited way, to 'understand' what the car is about. I've started to think it's like comparing a scalpel to a cleaver but my performance car experience is somewhat limited. The majority of people are happy with a 'torque dip' removing NA tuning package, suspension mods, wheels and tyres, and some braking mods not necessarily a big brake kit. I think you'd struggle to get fire out of the exhaust pipes on these - the burn is lot cleaner than a Wankel, so there's less fuel vapour blowing around, but that might change after the application of a turbo. The rods are known to be vulnerable under high boost though, so reliability is inversely related to boost pressure. My impression is that a loud muffler and decats and manifold change will give a very loud car. Keep a modest muffler on and the rest should be liveable. Keep one of the cats and you can still scrape the MOT, but you might not want to do that with a turbo. We have a I think from MY, there were some small improvements, shark fin aerial, more reliable coil packs. Pics of your RX-8? Loved the RX8 , still do, the way it just pulled to 8K was more like a bike, but I found the driving experience on the GT86 as much fun and after a run with my son as shotgun we both saw the same times on a stretch of familiar road. I'm about to pick up my third GT86 if that's any testament. All have been reliable, great fun and as for the torque dip , yes it's there but its got 6 gears to choose from to keep the revs above it. I think there were some slight tweaks to the suspension geometry in the cars but someone here will know more about that than me. After owning a rx8 myself which I loved, I would say that these cars are very similar. I would say the power deliver is very similar to that of the rx8 with the power coming in higher up the rev range. I had similar rust issues with my rx8 but haven't had any issues with my 86 and it's now 6 years old. You defiently won't be disappointed, it's a fun car to own and drive, always puts a smile on my face everytime I drive it. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment.

Posted October 23, Exterior wise I'll be changing it to aftermarket, so the facelift isn't something I'd consider to pay extra for 4 Also not sure about the engine, was it on every model same or is there differences between them and one will be more reliable than other or easier to turbo? Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites. Lucas Thanks for info! TommyC The lack of power thing is down to people's expectations Many have said it's a car that teaches the driver! Great, thanks for info!

Banks and Rust exchange blows

A used Prius is ideal and I found a Prius for sale by the second owner of the car. He has all the paperwork in order and is asking well within my price range. It seems like a great deal. My only real concern are some rust spots. Would a rusty hole on the side bottom by the wheel be enough to make you reconsider buying the car? I feel like these photos are taken so close they sort of blow the rust issue out of proportion. What can I do to prevent it from rusting further? I think this car is too rusted to be considered. There is a certain appeal for many people for a Toyota Prius, but like any other make, a rusted undercarriage is impossible no matter what the make. I think you would be wise to pass this one up. I think the rust is excessive, and that it will be impossible to raise the car using a floor jack as a result. And of course, rust never sleeps. It gets worse as time progresses. More than that? The first picture shows normal underbody rust, the next picture shows damage to the paint or water trapped in the rocker panel. This is not a concern for a 16 year old hybrid. Hybrid vehicles have many hybrid specific parts that can be very expensive to replace, this is why the resale value of old hybrid vehicles is very low. Underbody looks pretty good, the hole on the rocker panel could be fixed if you want to but it will return. Likely other spots will appear, too. Rust is whack-a-mole, fix one and another spot pops up. I would suggest that you have a full inspection by a body shop. Carefully evaluate what price reduction the rust has caused. Is it enough to justify the repairs, or the shorter life span? And get a CarFax to learn about what area this car was driven when it got cancer. You are not looking at a NEW car. You are looking at an old Hybrid that might need a big battery soon with rust. I know used vehicle prices are out of sight right now but I would pass on this. Some rust is to be expected. Is the rust in places that are very problematic? I did order a carfax and everything is in order. Everything the seller said is true according to the carfax report. The car passed inspection earlier this year and is up to date on registration and repairs. Battery has been replaced recently. Especially considering the savings on gas. The expensive hybrid battery and the small one. I saw the receipt for the battery replacement and other maintenance that has been done. Yes, the structural integrity of the car is compromised. It belongs in the junkyard, not your driveway. If you live in the area where the rust formed, the local body shops should be familiar with rusty Priuses and would do a thorough inspection. If there is no true structural issues, buy a big can of Bondo. Just too many things that could fail. Is this rust an issue on a used car? Need to know if I should buy General Discussion.

Too much for this particular car? New to me. Which one? It has 2. One is very expensive. Thanks everyone. I appreciate all of your input! Renegade June 14, , pm Scrapyard-John June 14, , pm Knowing that the batteries have been replaced makes it a little more enticing.
