As most of you knew l broke yum for parts then bought a EVO 9

It was a great car but it cost me 22k and l started to spend money on it and really didnt want to go down that route.

So sold the EVO and bought a M3 E46 Cab on a 04 plate was great for the summer and then l got word of a old friend selling his Escos, l knew this car because in was 1 of the cars in the Clarkson shoot out about 8 years ago


So phoned lee and said l was very interested, so sold the BMW and went round to buy the Escos

The car had done 9k of miles in 11 years while Lee had owned it, Lee had spent about 15k with Mark, It has a Fitit box supplied by Mike costing 2.6k.
At Marks it had a New engine build, GT30/76, AP330 Front Kit, Leda Coil Overs, Pro Alloy Intercooler, Fans, Rad, SM4 so it had some money spent on it, also new comps wit 888's

Bad points it could do with the paint be looked at, would love to do a full respray, needed new top and bottom spoiler, also need a new pump in tank but apart from that just TLC really

He is some of the pictures of what l have been doing to it






















Picture of it on the roller with 450bhp


Then l had rust on tailgate and the spoilers had bubble up a bit so got another set of spoilers

 

looks really good

whatare your plans to enjoy this one as much as possible? without spending alot of money like yum??

i think 450-500bhp would be fucking great fun and be reliable

 

Looks good Dave, love that blue colour too!

 

good work to start with!

 

Likey likey!

 

Its pulled 450bhp on the rollers with a boost leak so Mark is sure with a few new bits this is a 500bhp car so will be doing that very soon

 

Nice one Dave

 

And the best bit l bought it for 12k

 

looks mint in imperial! Good spec too.Is this the car that was owned by Tony ??????? that was always doing 3's to 60 and in the 11's years ago with the same spec engine as k44ace? on a standard box then,many years ago! On the clarkson video its the oposite end to k44ace and they both leave the rest!

 

lee that cars isnt imperial


its pacifca blue bud ,



great spec ,glad to see your bk in a cossie dave ,

 

Very nice mate and great price as well

 

No its the one that came 5th and its not Imperial Blue

 

Looking good Dave, really like this car, nice Spec etc, just don't getting going too mad on the spending mate, keep it as a nice road/track car....

 

Nice car Dave and a right bargain at that money.

Hope you get a lot more enjoyment from this one than you did from Yum in the later years.

 

 

200 Mph Dave? lol

 

Well done Dave. Good to have you back!

Looks like an absoloubt steal and if you ever need anything im not far away.

Just dont go crazy on this one

 

Nice one dave be keeping a eye on this are you keeping the nos?

 

Taking the nos of just need to pick up another fuel rail then l can take the kit out!

 

Nice one are you going to respray the car as well? or just tidy it up ? for the money you paid you couldnt ask for a better base to start with

 

That's one of the quickest full circles going

Looks like a lot of nice bits on that, especially at that price. Love Pacifica Blue too, don't see too many in that colour really. Prefer it to Imperial Blue myself!

 

Looks very nice


Brian

Got the spoilers and tailgate to my painter, all in the astra





Then got around to putting the speakers in the doors, did take them out of Yum as l could not hear them
