The EGG is Dead............................

The incredible, edible, EGG........is Dead.  May she rest in Peace.  Blew the Head Gasket.........most likely "internal damage" as well.  Priced out how much it would cost to fix and have determined that it is just not worth it.  I would be better off picking up a new ride...........I am however looking in "possibly" picking up another EGG.  Hopefully something with "less miles" on her.  But then again.........mines only has 180,000 mile on her.  My previous ride had well over 240,000 and the engine was still strong!  The Tranny was re-built twice though because of the Stillen ECU up-grade.....anyways.......I have my eyes set on a local EGG which is a 97 with only 25,000 miles on her, owner says runs perfect and both interior and exterior is great.  He is asking for $3,700........already left a message.....hopefully he/she will call me to tell me they still have it "For Sale"...wish me luck.  Only detail that this person forgot to add in their ad was the color of the EGG.  Probally a "brain fart"........been there, done that, probally will do another one tomorrow.

Until I find my next EGG or "another ride" I will be driving a 02 Nissan Sentra..........manual.........I miss automatic.......yes, I am old!  LOL

Pics request........anyone have a pics of a "Stock Gold" modded EGG?

:cool2: 
DAMN! THAT ONE IS  F**** SICK!

Sorry about your EGG.

I had mine blown gasket when I bought off from the last owner.  I replace a used JDM SC engine. it is around 35K miles.  The body is in very good shape.  Only the roof need new paint at that time.  

If you're looking for replacing engine, it will probably cost around $1500 to $1800 for non-SC model.  The SC will be around 2500 to 2700.  

If you are planning to buy another one, first you have to consider how long will it last?  

I have mine running good so far.  If you're in SoCal, I can refer to the Toyota expert shop.

Anyway, good luck to U.  If you need help, you are welcome to contact me!

yoshi is in Hawaii. About the Previa with 25,000 miles, is that the mileage on the car itself or the engine.

Get something diffrent but go VIP........... =)

hey yoshi..

sorry to hear about your van...but im glad that your still considering getting another egg...stick to an egg. we need more egg drivers, haha.

Still no reply from the guy who is selling the 25,000 miles '97 EGG.  Don't know much other than what his ad says........wish I knew more as well as had some pics.  

Got a couple of others but nothing comes close to both the price and low miles of the "forementioned" EGG.  Hopefully the guy selling will give me a call..........fingers crossed.

Shawn,

That isn't a "stock" gold correct?  If the "stock" gold was that color I would be all over it.  Gold is the color of another EGG that I am looking at......its got twin sunroofs, captain chairs......2 things that I wanted originally.  It is not SC but it is all good.....not like I go fast anyways.....I need to take better mileage over power.....especially with my EGG breaking my bank.

Sukoshiyoshi

Sorry to hear this Yoshi good luck finding a nice replacement...

Hopefully I will get my hands on another EGG..................

Sukoshiyoshi

keep us posted about the hunt. Hope you find a new EGG.

Hey Yosh, I think I may have on for you here on Maui..Don't know the year but it's a SC..I was actually looking at it but decided not to. I'll try and inquire about it..BTW, it, gold, inside and out is clean.

And just when we got the stero installed...DAMN!!!

sorry to hear!!!

Yup the Stereo is going to have to "come out" and "back in" again....will be needing your services once again.  As well as "transferring" all the parts from the Old Egg to the New Egg.  EGG on Maui huh?  thanks but I actually have my eyes on a couple here on Oahu......thinking of going "no supercharger" this time around.....if it got it then cool, but if it ain't got it then great!  Got to save some monies at the pump.  The EGG ain't that great on gas......for a 4 banger it can sure chug gas....I am sure that my SuperCharger didn't help the cause any.

Sukoshiyoshi

yeah the fuel consumption is bad!! haha..its like a 6cyl engine! Its because its a 4 cyl and its a heavy van!

True that.....my V6 used to get waaaaaaay better mileage than my EGG ever did.......and I drive like a old man!!  The Sounds, Wheels, and other modds sure didn't help the cause.  LOL

Sukoshiyoshi

yeah...wheels, system and other stuff does affect the fuel consumption haha.

hey yosh...d here...sorry about your egg...i'l keep an eye out...

damn yoshi... so sorry to hear that man, hey if there's anything i can do to help out, plz lemme know... btw, i'm just so happen to be selling my Y33 cima if you're interested, we can work somethin out if you're down; check your PM for more info bro... your pal, mikey

WHAT? selling again? Mikey, you need to stick with one car man.

get another egg.  i've always loved the estima lucida.

The Lucida is actually not released in the US.  But this is one ride that I really don't mind that Japan did not share with the US.  Feel that the EGG overall just has a better look to it.  Someone correct me if I am wrong but I do believe that the Lucida was a Model "below" the Previa (Estima).  Ex:  The Lexus GS it to the Lexus LS.  Personally I have always loved the "Celtima" (Previa with the Celsior headlights).  Way to rich for my wallet.

not quite that drastic, but yeah, the lucida is a lesser version of the normal estima.  it was made narrower among other things to fit into a lower classification for areas that tax based on vehicle size.  me no likey

hey yosh, sad to hear about your egg. she looked really nice too with the wheels and stuff. good luck with your search!

Thanks for all the replies..........now I got me a whole new different set of problems.....happy, happy, joy, joy....NOT!

Sukoshiyoshi

My Lawd!  That gold egg is siiiiiiiick.  Get or die.

that is a bad thing to hear, i would stick to an egg as well
