As much as i don't want to

Post by Draven »

:shock: Right guys. I never ever thought i would do this.. :cry: But having been offered a job in singapore that i just can't turn down i just don't have anywhere to store my baby.. If anyone has any ideas on storage places near by i would be very greatful.

Failing that she is for sale. :cry:

Rev 3 Caribbean Blue Turbo. Upon sale she will have standard wheels and will be pretty much standard apart from

Apexi Air intake
A few samco hoses

Thats about it really.. She has covered 36,000 miles and looking at the condition of her i have no reason to believe other wise. Have a look at the pics.

She will come with a years MOT and maybe some tax although this has run out now if i get the right ammount for her i will include 6 months tax.

The turbo was removed several months ago and was taken to turbo technics in northampton they gave it a full check though and said it was in superb condition.

The oil was replaced less than 1000 miles ago with Silkolene 5w 50 plugs where replaced at the same time. I will also be replacing the rotor arm and cleaning the paul port copper contacts distributor.

I love my car and no expense has been spared on her upkeep during the year i have owned her. everything has been replaced with the best quality parts..

I bought the car from an enthusiast on here who owned it from its import in feburary last year.


So now the bad points..

1. there are a few stone chips on the bumper.
2. the drop links have had it on the front. (should be replaced before i sell)
3. i believe a ball joint has gone. (again will be fixed for the MOT)
3. The standard stereo in the car is crap. does not even read CD's but most people replace this straight off anyway.
4. the standard splitter on the front bumper has some paint missing where i bumped a curb. just needs a respray of that.


£3500 :D Or near offer.. please don't insult me with a silly offer.

Send me a PM or stick a post here.

I'm in Milton Keynes.

Or if you wanna store her for me for free for a year.. :)

Edit:

She has passed her MOT and now has 12months ticket.
& Now she also has 6 months tax that will go with her. :)

With a notice on there about the ball joint but i'm in the process of fixin that :)

It appears to have been a front end impact. I believe it must have happened in Japan before she came over. The repair is good you can't really tell. The only thing is that several of the body panels are slightly out of line. How ever look like they can be re aligned quite easily.

:thumleft:

She is still a beautiful car. :)

Has that still got my billys on? Good units they were, certainly miss them when I'm not driving my car on track (which to be fair is only ever on the way to track now).

Yes the billys i bought off you were put on the car instead of the coilovers. Its just to drop links that are a bit naffed up. :?

I'm really thinking of keeping her. If she don't sell in the next week she will be going into storage for a year.. When i get back with lots of dosh there is going to be LOADS of changes.

With all your mates on this board there ust be someone who can store it for a ear. After all, youre onl gonna come back them go through all the hassle of finding another good one by which time imports will have slowed even more and more over here will have been messed up. You know it makes sense.
