its looks very nice mate

 

Why dont people ever get the rear wheels on a 3DR to fill the arches............. looks poo

 

its the best colour!

 

tiff was tempted with your old one in your sig .but the engine noise is putting me off

 

i think theres info on the Rs owners club as the owner took it in PX against a TVR and he was after information about value etc.

pete

 

I Did :



Rich

 

Mee too !!!

 

I know the car. What do you need to know ?

 

i filled my arches

 

Most don't but i achieved it too

 

I went to look at it about May time, was £7995 then im sure.

Wheels scrubed the bodywork.

A few other bits i wasn't happy with

The car did go well.

No way would i pay what this owner wants unless he has done a lot of work to the car.

Steve

 

This will totally ridicule Tiffs statement but I do know what he means about most 3dr's

 

he offered me a px on my mazda ...had a few silly dents and cracks if i remember

 

another filled arch..

 

Have you noticed the common denominator in all the 3 doors that have there rear arches filled properly?
They are all fitted with Compomotives
Rich

 

I met him down the pub once, seemed a thoroughly nice..err...car

 

thanx for the comments .hopefully going to view it this week end

 

If you don't expect a mint car you wont be dissapointed

Let us know how you get on please

Steve

 

looks nice younge i think if i was paying that much money for a 3dr i would want it to be mint.

 

Another dickhead with a 400+ bhp cossie with a T34

Twat

 

i kept looking at this car as it was roughly the same spec as mine but youv put me right of now.

pete

 

i had a T34.63 that made 417BHP.

 

Yours was 100 times better Pete

Steve

 

still prefer the white one on here with the 500 bits, i know its 4x4 but that can easily be resolved

 

steve i had a pm of jon@work from on here ..they way he discribed the car i think i will give this one a miss.

 

yer I doubt the figures especially with bd10's. I bet the torque has been lost too.
The t34 .63 is a nice turbo and can make 400-420. But thats at high 30's psi and they dont last long. I expect if it was put on rollers it would be around 380.

4 paddle clutch is a no no, they are shit don't last long and horrible to drive.
Everything else seems spot on, long studded 200 block etc.
I dont think its overpriced too much, It's got big ap brakes on dont forget !

If the paints good and theres no rust then i think its worth £9k . Remember saphs are crazy money at 7k-8k. It's not a bad car just a few things id have to change.

 

It's a funny one this. I think it has been on Ebay about eight times in the last three months with a couple of different usernames selling. It looks OK so must have some hidden suprises that have put buyers off once the auction has ended. Take care!

sounds well dodgey to me after reading these stories.

 

Its not dodgey, well not when i viewed it.

Its just not a 9.5k car with what needs sorting on it

When i viewed it i felt i would need to spend at least another 2k on it and it was for sale at £7995 at the time.

Steve

 

If i remember correct its only a t34.55 as well

Steve

 

This post is spot on, IMO.

A friend of mine owned this car for 10 years before he sold it about 6 months ago for around £7K.

The bodywork needed a bit of tidying - MINOR dents and scrapes, NOT rust, and it needed a front screen, and ideally a front grill (a couple of the top mounting tabs were broken).

If the current owner has had the bodywork tidied and a front screen, and replaced most of the suspension bushes, it would be a good spec car for £8K.

PS when the car was sold, it had a T34.55, it isn't long studded, it had a Alcon 6 paddle, and the front brakes aren't water cooled.
