Default Decided to sell up :( 3dr and saph being broke

Due to personal reasons I have decided to sell up and get away from cars for a bit. Therefore I will be breaking the saph and will also sell my 3dr rep. It's a very difficult decision to make as the saph is almost done to the spec I wanted and only needs final mapping

However, I need to think with my head and not my heart so have decided to step away from cars for a while.

I will put a thread in the for sale section soon.

That's a shame mate, but if Masala Masood needs the cash injection then so be it.

Seriously though, it's a shame, but cars are luxuries which need to take a back seat from time to time. All the best with the sales.


Cheers,
Grant

Doug, I have a few steering wheels - price is dependant in condition tho. Will get pics up on my for sale thread. Exhaust is mongoose

Spec of the saph is 200 long studded block block, gt3076r, 83lb injectors, modded & spaced 2wd plenum, Omex 600 ecu.

Cheers guys - not an easy decision but I have no other option I'm afraid - cars are just material things at the end of the day and I need to do what's best for me - sadly it's not cars at the moment

Can totally understand why your doing it mate, if needs be and that, you can always come back to it, or buy another 3dr, biggest mistake selling mine (

Ps. I'd be interested in the box and diff )

3dr was running a pinto so no idea, but it had all uprated suspension and brakes so who knows.

Injectors are low impedance 83lb'ers

just to clear things up - i will be selling all my spares first before i take any spanners to the cars as i need the space to break them. I am secretly hoping to keep the shells but we will see how much money i can raise from the sale of spares first.
