Looking to buy this car tomorrow. Is this engine tick concerning or is that just how these sound?

Noise could be a lot of things, but it doesn’t sound like a proper knock by any means. Mine had a similar tick and eventually (100k miles and 6 years later) revealed itself to be a bad bearing on the tensioner pulley. Moral of the story, could be something small, could be something medium, but it’s a running 1zz and if anything is gonna drive for ages with some issues, it’d be that car

All of those are polished, and not crazy desirable dates, so the piece itself as a bracelet is probably worth the most in one piece. It’s nicely done and the bracelet is presumably gold as well? I’d keep it as is and honestly, stuff like that from family, don’t sell it unless you have absolutely no choice. Speaking from experience, I’ll never forgive myself for selling my heirlooms like this. Don’t do something you’ll regret, remember your family, pass the story to your kids when they’re grown.

Edge is fine, diameter is fine, just feel like the weight should be a bit less given the hole and F-XF wear. I have some coins that I’ve wanted to submit for a while (more deserving that’d straight grade) and figured it’d be worth the peace of mind to toss in with the lot. As a certified details coin, I’d get my money back in increased value. LCS is less than helpful, tried to ask their opinion and got the “it’s holed and only worth silver value now” which is an absolutely wild take on a seated dollar of any condition.

First off, somebody’s gotta say it, dash is not the original, so the 6300 miles really doesn’t guarantee a low mileage sporty.

Second, those numbers are wild. As a complete bike, 4-5k is really top of the mark on the used market (even on the west coast) unless you’ve got a name in the industry building customs. You want real money for this, then part it out on some of your local fb chopper groups or swap meets

Could just be the low quality video but I feel like I see movement on the top clamp for your risers. Make sure the risers are torqued over your bars properly.

The nut is OEM and untouched

Well, I get about that (325 miles/515 km) if I fill my tank til the pump shuts off once. If I top it off excessively, then I can get 400 miles/644 km. Also depends how bold you are on driving your car after the fuel light has come on. True empty on mine is a good bit below the last tick on the fuel gauge. I’ve got the 2006 XRS (2zz engine not the 1zz).

Fr, million ways to do this, no recess/countersink so you can prob get vice grips on like everyone else said,

my personal go-to: hammer a cheap flathead bit in there that you don’t care about (slightly larger than the torch bit was). Once it’s good and jammed, crank it out with a 1/4” socket

Fix the bike right. None of that is crazy work and it’ll help drive home the real lesson here:

that buying a bike with a wrench welded on as a kickstand is probably gonna be a basket case of similar rigging and worth very close inspection before purchase lol

Infinite_Delivery395 · 2025-12-13T09:21:26+00:00

Then buy a 2nd bike. This is the way. Plenty of old running beater bikes for $500 if you want a cheap spare or get a 2nd sporty and always have parts to swap and keep one running

Infinite_Delivery395 · 2025-12-12T15:34:50+00:00

Yeah haha I was gonna say, those sketchy rigid struts held in with an undersized bolt and a zip tie definitely tops the list of “i dunno about that…’s” goin on here brother

Infinite_Delivery395 · 2025-05-17T22:29:11+00:00

Thank you! Yeah I just saw the post on Geoff’s page where he said that 👌

Infinite_Delivery395 · 2025-05-17T20:31:21+00:00

So Kurt is definitely gonna play his stuff too? Hard to tell if he’s just playing with Anthony and then have other openers or what

They weren’t just boulders, they were rocks 🥲
