Spec

1996 auralis blue

basically a stage 3 spec 330 bhp every thing was new when the conversion was done at 22k
stage2 turbotecnics t35

Car is lovely the way it is to be honest... but if I had it and could get hold of some, then a set of Silver 18" GrpA Raceline RL7's would look the nuts on it and a bit more fresh than the dark 18" Escos alloys.


Cheers,
Grant

It would be more hassle than its worth putting it back to standard, as for a value you must know what its worth as you only recently bought it..

id change nothing to sell it and all i'd do if i bought it would be to change the wheels to put my stamp on it, its not worth you changing them as they are such a personal thing to folk and an easy way of personalising it

Its a gorgeous car

most rs cars sit there over the winter doing nothing and we all know its money just sitting there...but most rs cars keep the money so at least its not losing that much sitting there.

A good friend of mine has a motorsport escos with 21k on the clock, big brakes (bells and rotors) 19" rims, 400bhp and I think he wanted about Ł18-20k for it a while back, neadless to say it is still on his drive and im pretty sure he has no intention on selling it now.

He knows his cars and I pressume this isd a tad over priced? I really don'tknow much about these cars in the sense of what they sell for but this may give you an idea.

and ive changed my mind on the wheels and now agree with grant on the racelines! specially after seeing daves on this thread!

I'd personally change the colour of the wheels back to silver, put the hoses in the bin and fit standard headlights!
The car looked much better a couple of years ago IMO.

Silly question tbh as i could make you an offer for say 10k and that may offend you, in your own mind you know and have a value of what the car will SELL for .


Good luck with the sale

Lads this was never really a for sale post like i said i was thinking was there any point having a car like that sat in the garage that i can only use on dry days as its alot of money to have sat there,and i didnt mean for people to tel me wot its worth (i know wot its worth)wot i ment was if it was put back to standard would it be worth more than modded as i have all the standard bits.thanks for all the feed back

Good choice mate, as for the hoses they just look out of place.

You cant go wrong with black
