Default Cheap turbo'd XR3i, pics added

as title really, its cheap for a reason.

MOT: mid december
Tax: end of Jan
Location: newmarket
Price: £800 no offers or £1000 with spares
Contact: PM me for contact number

Started life as a Rosso red xr3i that someone then fitted rs turbo running gear. I got it off a mate on a whim really. Its a XR3i not a RS Turbo.

Runs really well nice quiet cvh turbo, just fitted a second hand standard turbo, has airtec half front mount, full black samcos, paddle clutch, -31 actuator, chipped ecu, k&n filter, stainless system, lsd box, rebuilt head with payen headset 500 miles ago and full service with 10/60 high performance millers oil, goes really well, boost tap set to 16psi and pulls like mad. sitting 25mm lower on shocks and spring kit but unsure what make but shocks are red. has 5 rs2000 polished alloys with great tyres, red/tint rear lights in great condition, clear indicators and side reapeters, inside has a very clean set of 90 spec recaros, some yellow dials things, boost gauge, i rebuilt the column with new bushes and steering is perfect, has new clutch rachet also. starts first turn of the key always. To drive i cant really fault the car, its quiet and smooth and drives just how it should. Doors are rust free as is the boot lid, has a 90 spec front bumper and spoiler.

Right i said shes cheap for a reason and that is or they are, the shell is good but someone did the rear arches at some point and painted the rear quarters radiant red instead of rosso so 2 diff colours and there a couple of bubbles starting to poke thru again, sills arent rusty but have been jacked up on and have split both sides so they will need welding before mots out. has had batt tray done to a high stanard but fuse box has been done not brilliantly, centre vent panel missing the light up bit and front shocks missing the bump stops so over big bumps it sounds awful, radiator has seen better days but works.

Think thats about it. i'll get pics when its light, in no rush to sell it can sit there and i'll break it when the tax runs out but it'd be a shame. anything else just ask

can also come with spare engine, 2 metering units, good spare turbo, chipped ecu's and full loom with relays.


pics for if deal falls through
