[FINALIZED] The Beast - 465bhp 1990 MkII GT Turbo *£11K*

[EarL]

The Red Beast is for sale...

I've owned the car for several years now, and as most of you have seen, spent a small mortgage on it, but the time has come for it to go.

I'll be sad to sell it, but needs must, and I feel the time for a little more practicality has come. I have recently got engaged, and have a new family to consider. An Mr2 like mine is a complete indulgence, and one that I have had the pleasure of for some time, but my new family comes first.

I think most of you will know it's spec, but just in case you've been living in a field in the Outer Hebridies for the last three years, it's shown below.

A new fuel system is shortly to be fitted, allowing 2.2 bar of boost to be run. This should see the motor make well over 600+ bhp on C16 race fuel.

Current power output:
465 fwhp @ 7200
360 ft/lb @ 5400
Running just 1 bar of boost (on Tesco 99 octane fuel).

Quarter mile of 12.44 @ 111 on Toyo T1-R's.

The car is capable of low 11's, possibly even 10's.

The dyno readout was taken when the older GT3071 turbo and 870cc injectors were fitted. It has since been fitted with a GT3582R and 1000cc injectors, and re-mapped by Dave Rowe.

Well in excess of £30k has been spent on this car (by the time the new fuel system is fitted, it will near £40k), and it's performance is as can be expected from a vehicle so extensively modified...

...Brutal!

Dave Rowe of MoTeC commented the last time the car was mapped, "It's not even trying yet..."

Offers in the region of £13k, or part exchange with a 1998+ Honda Integra DC2 (plus cash).

Please PM me for details or if you would like to talk.

[foxy-stoat]

F ME !!!!!!!!

That power curve is nearly vertical !!!!!!!!!!

[MRV6]

Ohhh mate these bloody walrus's. Tis a sad day, one of the finest deuces on the planet. Any chance of persuading you not to sell her!

[EarL]

Nothing set in stone yet Phil. Just testing the water mate.

[Steve Horrocks]

Bloody hell Glen, shame, but good luck matey

[2Crooky]

Glen you plum! I was joking when i said "you'll be selling that once your family starts" To which i remember you saying....."HOW DARE YOU EVEN THINK THAT!"

Needs must mate but it would be a real shame to let her go Wish all the best for your new family life!! You still better make appearances at JAE!!

What a machine mate!!

I've always noticed this car since i joined IMOC and seen the videos of it too - something else!!

Thing is...whats an offer on a car like that i mean i wouldn't have a clue what you were expecting to get back on that?! people are going to shy away because they don't wanna maybe send you an email saying "would you take £10K for it?" in case you go mad cause your wanting 30K for it lol

...So what kind of money is in it?

Kenny,

Cars like these are labours of love mate, and recouping what one has spent on them is an impossible task. I'd love to get something in the region of 15k for it, but I have to be realistic.

I'd estimate it nearing £35k, but thats been over quite some time.

I guess if someone came along with £10k, I might just be tempted.

[Kenny-Boost]

for 10k its a bargin - i noticed you have on you spec

Revision 3 Rear Subframe


is there a differance in the subframes? is the rev3 one better? i only ask because i'm breaking my rev3 and obviously i have a subframe sitting here, didn't really think to advertise it!

I know what you mean labour of love, whatever happens and what you do mate I wish you all the best. I know from personal experience I have met some great people through the deuce. Youv'e built a truly outstanding car there

[Kenny-Boost]

good luck with the sale - a bargin for the money mate! It'll be a shame for her to go

[The-Shield]

Shame you're selling, but whatever you do, don't eBay it!

[EarL]

Thanks guys.

Unfortunately, if the car doesn't sell soon, I'm going to be left with only one option...

...to break it.

[Kenny-Boost]

well selling and breaking must both be crap options for you buddy!

However if i were you i'd suspect that breaking the car or rather returning her to near standard is probably a better option to get back more money

[Leakie Tbar]

Thanks guys.

Squak Squak Here come the Vultures ,

I'll Have

[Leon.]

Was initially very shocked at this but you have other priorities so fair enough.

Would be a great shame to have to break it, hope someone comes along soon. £10k is far too cheap IMO but its finding the right person I guess, in the timeframe you've set yourself.

All the best mate
