PENDING SALE!!
I'm selling my 1995 Suzuki Cappuccino EA21R, located in Portland, Oregon.
The Overview:
-Japanese-market kei car, legally imported to the US
-Right hand drive
-Clean Washington title in my name
-Coupe, T-top, Targa, Convertible all in one!
-660cc inline three, five speed manual, RWD, independent suspension
-Super-rare second generation car with alloy block and more torque than the more common early EA11R
-I'm nearly 6'2" and manage to fit...a cozy fit!
-Plenty fast enough to deal with modern traffic if you can locate the gas pedal and aren't scared of revs. Conservatively rated at 64hp and 1500 pounds.
-Approximately 113,500km (~70,500 miles) as of writing. Might go up a touch as I drive it
-Great driver-quality car! Looks good enough driving by, and don't have to fret about the paint. Spend more time driving...who wants to prepare for and go to a concours anyway?
-$9950 GRM price (listed higher elsewhere)
-Generates more smiles and laughs than anything else on the road
-Willing to provide local assistance for remote buyers
The Good:
-New brake rotors, hard lines, stainless steel flex lines, e-coated rotors, rebuilt front calipers
-Refurbished fuel tank blasted and coated inside and out, new fuel pump, new oversized fuel filter, many new fuel lines
-Newly blasted and powdercoated rear subframe
-Newly blasted and powdercoated protective panels for plumbing along the underside
-New polyurethane differential mount bushings
-New transmission fluid
-Cargo net installed behind the seats
-Rare parts included, but not installed: Suzuki Limited rear spoiler, and Suzuki optional mudflaps, both could use some cosmetic touch-up. New genuine Suzuki bushings for shifter rebuild.
-Apex'i air filter, aftermarket aluminum pedals, aftermarket intercooler piping, aftermarket turbo timer, aftermarket steering wheel, BOV vented to atmosphere, aftermarket exhaust (muffler shop special) Sounds great!
-Brand new Suzuki shift knob (used Trust knob included) and brand new Suzuki shift boot
-Original sleeves for storing the roof panels in the trunk
-Interior is in great shape, with one tiny tear in the driver's side bolster, loose top to the passenger door card, and an area the dash vinyl has pulled back a tiny bit around a vent, otherwise good.
-Headlights just cut and polished
The Opportunities:
-Original paint is thin in areas.
-Downshifting into second encourages one to master the double-clutch rev-match. It gets a bit better when warm. I honestly think the root of the issue is two-fold...worn synchro, plus worn shifter bushings...new genuine Suzuki shifter and remote bushings included for you to install. New synchros available from Japan if you care to rebuild.
-A little rusty here and there. Not bad for a 27-year-old car from Japan. New England and Midwest guys will probably laugh at me labeling it rusty. Check the photo album above for details.
-Someone with more patience and skill than me might be able to improve the panel gaps around the headlights and front bumper.
-Trunk area carpet was trimmed slightly at some point (check photos for details.) I'm guessing it was for a subwoofer or something else long ago removed.
