Look what else he has for sale to

 

If someone wants to give me 7k for mine they can have it

 

seen the gearbox he is selling ,sweet

 

this car was in performance ford a while back

 

was it? shame its being broke, looking at that list tho he will get alot more in parts than anyone would ever pay for the car whole

 

have u got edition of pf to hand or what month as i used to live in bury and never seen or heard of this car about

 

Yeah the plate is f300 tbc.

maybe a year or two ago.

feature ws at brunters.

was a nice car

 

I would have to see if i could look it out mate.

will look in the morning for you.

it had rondells on it and 4x4 bonnet.

 

"would you take £1600" in the q+a's

 

that is only way to do it mate.


I calculated up mine the other day and could get nearly 15k if i broke it, where I would get nothing like that if I sold it whole.

 

He's only owned it about 15 years.

Its an amazing car and he's spent 38k on it I believe. Shame its being broken and I'm even more pissed after speaking to him on the phone today as hes thinking of getting a Subaru. I'm sure he will regret it.

 

and the're forever showing the pic of him loosing it onto the grass too, next to the results table.

 

whats his name and does he actually live in bury

 

kieron you have pm

 

talk about piss taking pikey, when his starting bid is 7k

 

kieron how many miles has my old chaps ,old cossie got on it now then ?

 

Roosie, yes he lives in Bury. A regular at the Suffolk meets.

Ewan - Replied

Ja - Stripped and broken mate. Backwards through a bush over last winter.

 

kieron what the low miles one D***mkp

 

where are the suffolk meets held? as roosie said, i've never heard of it or seen it either! i used to be in bury all the time! looks awesome though!

 

Its actually the Suffolk & N. Essex group and the meets are held in Colchester. They couldn't be more into Suffolk cause at the time of being set up the old EA Group was still being wound down and your not allowed meets to be within a certain mileage of each other.

 

7K is FAR too much money to pay for a YB off ebay with allegedly 9K miles on it IMHO

Im well aware it would cost far more to build, but I just dont trust ebay ads to be very accurate and anyway 9K miles is realistically about 1/3 of the way through the life of the engine.

 

Chip, the ad is shit TBH and when I spoke to him last night he said that includes everything. engine, genuine 500 inlet, T4, ecu & Wiring. I know for a fact its cost him 15k + at Mountune alone.

You dont think its worth that much? Give me a shout next time your selling some bits

and he drives it like a Fag!

 

Kieron, buying from someone you know and trust is different in my opinion to buying off some random ebay dreamer.

Hence if you look at my comment I said " for a YB off ebay "


IF it was someone I knew and trusted then I probably would pay 7K for it, assuming I wanted an out of date engine with 80s tuning technology in the first place, which obviously I dont, lol

 

You got me there! pmsl

 

I can vouch for the car, it is absolutely mint (I supplied lots of the parts for it), and John has owned it for fucking forever, with the maority of the time spent off the road being fettled and tweaked to his very exacting standards, which means it has been treated better than his wife . When he phoned me the other day to tell me he was selling it, I could hardly beleive it, as he has JUST got it to the exact way he wanted it, with the hydraulic clutch and 6-speed gearbox conversion .

You should ask him for pictures of how the cage is fitted, the seats have been cut and retrimmed to go round them in the back as if the car came from Ford with a cage in . Attention to detail like this is mind blowing. Also being an engineer by trade, he made the fuel system cradle out of two new original items, so again it looks like Ford did it .

You have to see this car in the flesh to appreciate the time, money and effort that has gone into it. The car is one of the best built Sapphires in the country, and I think I'm qualified enough to know what constitutes a car of that level, so DEFINITELY not your normal ebay tat.... .

 

Cant beat a glowing firsthand testimonial like that

 

Great testimonial but that motor with 9k miles on it is not worth 7 grand.

 

I have seen John before, friend of Mike R's i believe. Seen him a few times years ago at the Diss RS meet... Used to work at Mountune iirc

He was at the RAF Woodbridge trackday with me when i was there a fortnight ago. halfway through the day he's engine was smoking like a complete wanker! and i was following him....

He covered my car in oil and he got black flagged instantly! He didn't run the car after that so i gathered someone was seriously wrong (as it was only halfway through the day)

He wasn't running full boost as i was killing him down the down back straight.... (might have been the noise regs) But had all the right stuff on it for 500 just wondered what happened to the engine....

 

I did say (when he asked) that it was worth about £6-7 tops, but he ideally wants £8 for it, as he explained that it is not just the engine, it is everything in the engine bay with it, ready to bolt into your car (including the Pectel Super P8 ECU which is worth £5-600). I think it also has ALS, but I can;t remember if he fitted the Mar-M 247 shaft to the T4 or not.

 

Quite surprised to hear this as Jonny Big Brake is not the sort of chap to rip anyone off so I called him.

"there was an oil leek, came out of the power steering rack and it was burning on the downpipe" "The O ring let go in power steering rack on the feed pipe"

He said that anybody with any questions please feel free to ring on 07931 752556.

 

care to comment on that mr rainbow

 

that might be way

 

He was running 15psi due to the noise regs , and as has been posted, the power steering 0'ring failed causing the problems described. It was THAT bad, that they black flagged him thinking his car was on fire .

I would NOT vouch for a car if it was rubbish, as I know how important it is for people to not get ripped off .

It did 176mph, so has the power (even if the driver hasn't the bottle to hang on that little bit longer ).

 

No trying to diss what John is trying to sell as the car looked lovely and had all the right tools on it

Except from the masking tape him and his mate put on the front of their cars to prevent stone chips.. God it looked fuckin awful (Saves the paintwork i suppose)

He was explaing to Matt (Who i went to Woodbridge with) about his new gearbox and about his new tyres....

Thing about the noise regs is that it only had a static test, not drive by.. So full boost could have been used if he wanted to...Mine was 100db static
d'oh


Thanks to keiron about explaining the problem, i didn't want to jump to conclusions

There was a SHIT load of smoke i thought i was the one on fire!

 

No worries Smit.

The masking tape does look gay but the last track day he done at Woodbridge cost him over 1k as he had the whole front end repainted and 4 new tyres. He is very very fussy about his car, cares for it well and spends whatever money it needs on it. For example that gearbox he fitted recently was a bit notchy between 3rd & 4th so he had it refirbed literally 2/3 weeks ago at a cost of £1600! Thats why I can't understand why the idiot is breaking it.

 

Kieron,
I told him the same thing, I think he has fallen on his head .

 

Lets face it he doesn't have far to fall.

Maybe in trying to outdo you with the softest jumper competition he has overcooked things and his legs couldn't cope?

Seriously though I can't understand what the hell he is doing and I'm sure he will regret it.

 

tell him ill give him £10.00 and he can keep the change
