Default My 3dr

I am breaking this car currently but thought i'd see if there is any interest in selling as a whole to save hassle/time.

most people know the car on here very well and can comment on the engine/condition of the car.

The spec is huge and the engine has more in it with a turbo/injector change and a remap.

I am after 13.5k as is

I can knock a few grand off this price if you want it with out the wheels, 500 bits and a few other little bits PM for details

a few recent pics;


















Spec of the car

Exterior

87 3dr with
Genuine RS 500 Top Fin
Genuine RS 500 Lower Spoiler
RS 500 grills
Creative Carbon Carbon Front Splitter
GL Spec Lamps

Interior


SPA gauges inc Carbon surround
SECS Monitor
RS Steering Wheel
RS 500 grills

Engine

435 BHP Harvey Spec Engine including;
long studded(6) 200 block
low comp pistons with valve cut outs 7.5:1
BD16 inlet cam
Bd14 exhaust cam
Isky Double valve springs
Quaiffe vernier pulleys

WRC head gasket
Big wing sump with oil return
Mountune ALS valve and altered TB
Aeroquiped oil, water and fuel lines used throughout.
greys
P8 Management with Mountune ALS board
Ap 6 paddle clutch

Mongoose 2WD Exhaust with centre box removed
Grp A 044 Pump

Breather drains to sump
Header Tank + Swirl pot
The car has FULLY aeroquipped lines for water oil and fuel

I have owned the car 5 years and have done around 12k miles in it most of the mods/history can be seen on here in my post history. The car has wanted for NOTHING in the time I have had it.

There is a HUGE history file for everything from the time the car was new.

i have spent £££££££££ on this in the time i have had it and not just on the pretty bits.

The engine was dirty.............i took it out and re did EVERYTHING
I had a puncture...............I spent 1800 on alloys then a further 400 on tyres
The engine did a valve this time last year..............I replaced it with a whole new engine

.....you get the idea

PM for details on history/mileage/owners etc etc

Got to be one of the best sympathetically modified 3 doors in the world I should think.

Truely stunning car.

Id be amazed if it sells whole though tragically


Fingers crossed someone can appreciate it why its worth EVERY penny of that amount!

Why break it? That's deffo something different with you guys on that side of the pond. That thing would never be broken up over here. Wish I had the cash mate, I'd bring it on over whole!

Cheers for the comments.

the wheels are compomotive cxnx and are the only ones I have seen in this size on a 3dr........

forgot to say the car is on Konis and FULLy pollybushed, there is loads of other bits that i have missed of really and am bound to forget some bits.

I'll add as i remember. Will get some pics of the history tonight when i get in.

Weather is looking good for breaking this weekend

forgot to say i have the centre caps for the wheels;








Laser cut centre badges................







PROPER offsets...................PROPER width..........
