Post subject: | My project AC GSR |
Hi folks, I've been lurking on the forum for a while since I started searching for a Cordia. After looking at some basket cases I stumbled across one that was both close to home and good condition for its age. I popped around to take a look and found an original looking AC GSR with faded paint and bits of rust here and there. The Cordia had been sitting in a back yard under a pine tree since 2006 and the current owner didn't know why it wasn't running. I haggled on a price and picked it up the following weekend. With help from my brother we got it home, I bought a new battery put some fuel in it and it started after a few attempts. It struggled to idle and I thought it had a cracked head with a lot of white smoke/vapour!! I contacted Bitza and he was kind enough to help figure out what the initial problem was...turns out it had AB injectors, AC AFM and a cracked ECU. Now I'm hunting down some AC injectors to get the fuel issue sorted out.. GSR 002 by GrantC2, on Flickr |

Cheers, the bodies fairly straight but both the doors are rusted out at the bottom. Its fairly original apart from the wheels and the tinkering with the ECU and injectors. |

My car is now running and the injectors have seated themselves so no more leaks!! Bitza has spent a fair amount of time on the car and its starting to come along nicely. Now to sort out the sensors |

Just a pic of preping the spare door/s ready for delivery. Thanks Grant. This one has a small dent in it bit is in mint condition..........plus the original "defect" from factory (just under the style line 1/4 way on the bottom of the door, Bitza had it also)...........all drivers side doors I have seen have them, looks like a "pressing" issue. |

I tried to take a photo but didn't work out..........it's under the body side molding on the style line just to the right of the door lock. |

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? New daily? What happened to the starlet? I can see the 2L going into this! |

Post subject: | Re: My project AC GSR |
I've always wanted an original cordia, mainly for when I enter shows.........put both of them next to one another to show the difference between stock and modified. I still have the starlet, will become one of my daughters car one of these days..........plus I just built a new enclosed veranda on the side of the house.........that way I have somewhere now to work on the AC. The engine is compression healthy, and to keep it original I won't be changing it. |
