92' Rev 2 327 BHP TURBO WITH FORGED PISTONS GOING CHEAP

Post by The Morris »

i cant beleive this day would ever come. But im saving for a wedding and i only use it on my day off, so it has to go.

Ive had the car since 04/07/04 and been an imoc memeber the same time. This car always starts first time and has been great fun.

FULL MOT AND 10 MONTHS TAX :D

it has done 96422 KM on the old clock and 55200 miles on the replacement. It is kept in the garage

2 years and 9000 miles ago the headgasket went and i had a new block with forged pistons, rev 3 cam, metal headgasket and arp head bolts. It was expensive but meant i could tune further in the future.

The car looks awsome from 10 feet , like its made from glass (due to clay bar), but obviously has the usual blemishes of a 15 year old car when close up. When i first got it i had the nose resprayed so there is very few stone chips. I have bought a full body kit and planned to have it fitted with a respray, but the wedding comes first.

The best exhaust

The engine, im not a man who polishes theirs :D

The interior

Image

My last Dyno at 327 BHP

Image

I believe at 327 bhpits the perfect powere as its very fast but with no lag. This car is fast. 8)

Ok now the bad points, hence a cheaper price. I want the car to go to a good home so i am being honest

The exhaust is smoking when i first hit full boost and some white smoke on idle. I have had it looked at and apparently the turbo is leaking oil. This is really dissapointing as i had it rebuilt by TT and would expect it to last longer. I am running it at 18 psi so nothing excessive. The turbo still pulls great and i wouldnt of noticed if i didnt see the smoke. This turbo may last for ages but i cant guarentee it. My plan was to buy a 2nd hand TT hybrid and have it remapped to 350 bhp. A cT20b would also produce the figures it is at now with a good map. But the engine is begging for a bigger turbo to take advantage of the rebuild.

The A/C compressor failed, i have had a replacement fitted but have not got round to having it gassed, was going to wait till the warm weather came again in 6 months.

I caught the rear bumper on the garage and it has pulled the bumper slightly, you might not notice unless you were looking hard. But to help the sale i will give the buyer a FREE TOMS REAR BUMPER BY NEOS DESIGN which we all know is a perfect fit and cost me £250

there is wear on thr drivers seat which is a common feature. Apart from that the interior is superb.

Lastly the alternator belt squeaks sometimes on start up, just needs tightening.

Ok, the price, i paid £3500 for this car and have spent over £7k on it. If it didnt have a problem with the turbo i would want over £4k for it. Looking at the spec and forged engine i will consider any offers over £3k.

It is available wednesdays and sundays and any evening.
