[kevin..in]

caledonia , is that some where near lithuania ?

Kev you could just upset a few scotts with that
isn't surrey homelands for southern man

[waynestoyotamr2]

didn't wayne just take a loss on an SC he bought recently?

Wayne's not a happy bunny about that , Jinxy

no don't suppose he is but it does happen especially when cars are bought of ebay and auction fever sets in

Think the phrase goes "thats life" chaps, oh well.........

[Donna MR2]

the Scotish car has been for sale on ebay a few times

Yes I know that one too. It sold for £2900 and then £2700 (IIRC) a few months back (but it didnt meet the reserve, which was later stated to be £3000). Bloke accused people of timewasting and then took it off

Looked like a nice conversion to me, I think the guy just misjudged the fact that 90% of potential buyers lived hundreds of miles away and wouldnt travel that far just to look at a car that they may not even bid on.

I dont suppose anyone still ahs the link to the ebay add or has seen it for sale else where on the web.

If you guys have seen it how much would you pay?

Thanks
Donna

Really its up to you - if you drive it and like it then thats good enough (although dont get carried away and ignore the stuff that you would look for if you were just buying a cheap fiesta). These cars are definetly in the specialist bracket so its really up to how much you are happy to pay.

I dont have the ebay link anymore, I think it was over three months ago so dead now anyway. Hes obviously a bit keener on selling it now. Good luck and let us know how you get on.

if I'm not mistaken it was also for sale on the mk1 club site but doubt that the old add will still be available, pretty much agree with alistair if the car seem sound and you can raise the cash then go for it but as always with modded cars selling it on may not be as easy as a standard one

[Lauren]

by the sounds of it they havnt changed the speedo over to the propper SC one either ,

What do you mean Tony?

Surely you wouldn't put in a Kmh speedo for authenticity?

[Lauren]

Hi - there's a burgandy supercharger in the forsale section:http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic. ... percharger

from the pictures it looks immaculate. HTH

Isn't this the crash damaged one though?

[Tony jinxy froude]

Hi Lauren, No i meant that if your going to all that trouble surely you can alter the speedo to read MPH.... its been done before TBH, far better than having a standard N/A speedo without the SC light in e.t.c, Jinxy

[Lauren]

No point altering teh speedo to read MPH.. just put a UK speedo in.

Tony its teh rev counter that has the pointless SC light in it.

[Tony jinxy froude]

Sorry Lauren, thats what i meant..... my lack of SC knowledge clearly shows here DOH !! Over to you Wayne !! , Jinxy

Nope - the one which was stoved in at a track day a while back was similar, but had side skirts removed etc....

[Tony jinxy froude]

Told you he would know !!

The only point in the sc light is for people that are thinking of lowering fuel consumption.
I never bother to look at it but i don't mind it being there!

But you can feel when the SC is on... the light isn't an accurate representation of that.. not really.

Anything over 80 and the SC is on all the time.. If you have a boost gauge teh SC engages at 8" vacuum.

[Icsunonove]

The light actually indicates when there is positive pressure in the inlet manifold. But it doesn't measure it directly (there isn't actually a pressure sender in the inlet manifold). It works it out from the AFM and TPS. As Lauren says the SC is engaged far more of the time than the light indicates.

[waynestoyotamr2]

Although, as Lauren and Tom explain superbly (when dont they?) the SC light serves no relevance to when the SC is actually in use, it has great novelty factor IMO.

[Donna MR2]

Going to see a white one tomorrow, its a SC model in white, and fingers crosed its manual as i forgot to ask

The guy has had it 8 years and its always been garaged so fingers crossed, they guy says its done 117Km so it sounds promising for an original supercharged model.

Its a Tbar.

Any tips guys?

So excitied i cant sleep =D>

[Donna MR2]

Yip still cant sleep so had a nose through the gallery, here is the red car i was originally interested in, its on here under the user name tonyg

http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/album_pic.php?pic_id=617

After looking at it more though there is rust on the roof and the guy is not getting back to me,

So fingers crossed for this white one tomorrow
