Any one know this 2?

Post by VGB »

Hello, just wondered if anyone knew this 2?
There's not much details on the advert and to be fair it's a long way away from me so thought I do some digging on it to start off with.

Cheers for any help!

Yep as above, no offence to seller but always good if can get any info from someone who has nothing to gain or lose!
I have an extensive list of questions some of which may be answered if the car is known here. :|

i never like lazy adds. at the end of the day if your trying to sell a car for almost 3 grand you can at least write a little more about the car.

he claims it has 285bhp from the parts listed ..which bascily state no performance mods except the exhaust. despite having a filter and possibly an aftermarket intercooler, wonder why he didnt state those in the ad.
where is the turbo decal down the side...yer its minor but its worth asking why its not there

i dunno but to me the bumper fitting may be a bit dodgy (its hard to say though)

other than that i guess it seems ok (if you like the alloys).
allways loved the cosmic and carribean blue :D

if it helps i bought a rev 3 gts 95 in august. its a white tin top and the condition looks on par with that one (which looks pretty tidy based on the pics). its runs fine except for a slightly crunchy 3rd gear. it had a front bumper and skirts on it (front bumper i have removed and put back to stock).. blitz airfilter, mongoose exhaust, apexi turbo timer, lock wood dials.
rouge rev 6 lights :D:D:D...(which are worth a good few hunderd quid)
bang on 100,000 miles, was serviced recently (although i have serviced it again with the engine out)
it had about 2 months tax and mot.. so not as long as this.
i paid £2000 for it.. but he did want 3000 for it on ebay with 2700 reserve.

the add stated so many mods (blitz turbo, forged internals , ecu) the list was so extensive and the car was so near to me that i purely went down there just to get a ride in it ...when i relised 90% of all the work wasnt there , was when i manged to get about 1000 of the price :D.

Sounds like you got a good buy! I thought looking at this one from the pics that it's had a respray as the blue looks too dark but not dark enough for cosmos? Problem is this would be a five hour drive from mine to look and see if it's any good. I've already lost one day last month going to look at a car in stratford to find out the owner who was selling through a garage had sold it but not told the garage!

Looking at the engine baynearside strut, the original colour looks to have been black/dark green.
