Haha there's a repowered escudo on TM its got a Holden V6 3.8L, would make a decent offroader project for someone... price seems ok too. guy seems like a bit of a prick though..
Needs certifying but would be great to do a 2" bodylift, 2" suspension, 31/32/33's, rollbar on it at sametime and get it all certd at once...
1989 Suzuki Escudo proffessionaly fitted with a 1990 Holden V6 injected engine and auto trans. I drive this everyday and it runs extremely well. Very strong drivetrain great for doing burnouts. RWD only.
16" mags, tinted windows, extractors and twin exhausts.
Custom made 3 core radiator with 16" electric fan.
Power steering.
WOF till late december
Rego till January 2007
Has springs removed but they come with car.
All work done to certification standard and its been checked by certifier. He said he would cert it once i had the springs put back in.
Very reliable car will be a great cruzer once finished.
Entered it in Skidfest last weekend, will eat rotarys no problems. Sounds nicer than a rotory aswell.
Not sure what its worth so im going to sell it at $1 reserve !!!
Happy bidding.

yeh i wondered if he had removed it sorta hard to tell from photos.. i asked him if it would be possibly to turn back into a 4wd...
should have a decent power to weight ratio though

Correction, not a prick, think of a suitably nasty describing word for a female (with white pants, peroxided hair and no class)

How long have the springs been out(is it riding on the bump stops??) posted by: skipxx (45 ) 2:02 pm, Wed 1 Nov
Yes its riding on bump stops. i havent driven it much with no springs, only to town and back a few times. It has a full chassis so its very strong compared to a car.
And the police wonder why we have such a high road toll?!

hi there, would this make it good for off roading 4x4? also would have to put in a lift kit. posted by: wgr01 (25 ) 10:29 pm, Fri 3 Nov
This is RWD only. off road 4x4 driving is for gays, so are lift kits. This car can go alot lower and i had plans to get the chassis C-notched to do this. Would look pretty kool on bags. 10:56 am, Sat 4 Nov
wonder if if runs alright with the lift back in it?? Maybe some bad driveline issues??
And I hope your question is a joke 1nut....
