ive been thinking and i just dont get to use this at all
ive now bought a Bmw E36 estate with m3 evo running gear so i need to sell this on. ive done 430miles since i bought it last year and its been parked in my mates garage since waiting for a track day but never happend.
ive replaced the diff oil, gearbox oil and have flushed the box through.
put active 8 addative in both and replaced the locked diff for a LSD
AND THATS IT!!

xr4i BOA 5 speed,new gaz coil overs, new 2wd cosworth clutch, 4x4 cossie rear, and locked diff in boot, rollcage, buckets, harnesses, full stainless exhaust, drfit handbrake, battery in boot, battery cutoff key
also got spare wheels if wanted
3 door cosworth wheels with brand new 195 50 15 TOYO R888 tyres x4 (5 wheels) loads of tax not sure about mot but will put a year on it.
needs a starter as its very lazy and now and again just clicks so you got to give it a tap etc.

Standard 1.6 EFi RS Turbo engine, Power Engineering one piece exhaust. Was done before I got her, and was still running Orion management, so is only at 3-4 psi just now.

I have fitted Ofab management, but as the engine needs looking at, I never cranked the boost yet. Also fitted Cossie brakes on the front.

There's photo's of it in the second post under the "show me your Orion's" thread in the Pictures forum on here.

Shell is solid, and all the structural bits are good - needs at least one rear arch soon, and two front wings, but as you'll see in the photo's, nothing totally major wrong with them

mate, I really have no idea yet, cos I really don't want to sell it, but the way things are, I think I have to.

Had loads of folk asking about it already even at the mention of selling.

I'm gonna get photo's of the bad bits at the weekend, and put the ad up after I have a real think about price
