im a bit pissed off at the mo so im just gauging any interest.

black e reg rs500.yesterday it began giving me some problems coming back from lightwater show.it has low oil pressure on tickover and i have found a lot of play in the turbo that was not there yesterday morning.the engine still sounds sweet and has decent oil pressure everywhere but tickover.the engine that is in the car at the moment is a 200 block one- i have the rs500 engine at the garage in 2 pieces as i was going to put a group a head gasket on it.

any way i would consider selling the car in any condition-ie
as it is with both the 200 block engine and the rs500 engine and all the goodies on it(which i will list shortly),or with just the rs500 engine,or just the 200 blockj engine,or without all the goodies i have fitted.i think you see what i mean......

any way here goes;
the engine-200 block,long studded,wrc head gasket,knife edged crank,low comp.bronze guides,bd14 cams,ported head,double valve springs,verniers.
4 paddle clutch
4x 83lb siemens injectors,closed loop management,l8,air injectors,
rs500 manifold etc.
t4(needs rebuild!!!!),new mongoose exhaust lamda sensor.
3 bar map sensor,black roose hoses-boost and coolant,rs500 cooler,new rad,bailey mirror breather kit,bailey header tank,bailey swirl pot,group a coil,motorsport leads,alloy strut brace,was running 28psi boost and was due to be live mapped by msd in august
secs monitor
new fuel tank,o44 pump and filter

standard gearbox and diff.

new gaz coilovers,adjustable track control arms,polybushes.
hi-spec 300mm front brake kit.

bbs 16" x-spoke alloys with good tyres

all usual rs500 bits-good dash,etc cat 1 alarm,long tax and test,5 owners,not much history.
the car is cat d listed in 2001.has had 2 wings at some point,but the shell is nice and the car looks great.it has been re-shelled at some point,as the new shell has no number in,but i have the old piece of floor from the old shell-stamped upwards-it didnt bother me as at the end of the day it is an rs500!.i have put a lot of time and effort into making this car how i wanted it but im just feeling a bit pissed off now as its a lot of car/money.at the end of the day it is an rs500(build no 309),has the rs500 engine with it.
im gutted this has happened,plus i dont really have the cash around to throw at it at the mo,with one thing and another which is why im even considering selling it as i know i will probably never get another.

i may consider a deal with another rs.dont really want to break it but if its financially worth doing i may consider it.today is just a bad day,but i will sell the car if i get offered the right deal,with either the standard bits (engine,suspension,brakes etc),or with all the goodies i have fitted,or with everything.

any offers/deals pm me.i know its never going to be the most expensive rs500 due to it being cat d,but i think you have to take these cars on their merits nowadays.and how they are now...i know what i paid for it as a standard car and i know what i have spent on it.and i know what i would have wanted for it had i ever sold it as it was before the turbo problem.

im sure many of us go through this feeling with cossies,but im now thinking i could have a just as quick sapphire that wouldnt be so much money tied up!maybe tomorrow i will feel ok and just get the rs500 sorted,maybe not though.....

im off to go and remove the turbo from the car
