Only posting this up as quite a few people have followed my restoration post with interest, so quite obviously it's for that reason, and not to generate interest in the parts for sale!

Unfortunately, I'm looking to move out, and flat prices in London are..... reassuringly expensive So, since I need every penny, it has to go.

Going to take a step back from cars for a while, and save up, as I've set my eyes on a nice little car for the year after next.

I know I've posted this before, and changed my mind, but that was four months ago, and nothing's changed since then. Don't have the heart, interest, or the energy to keep going with the project, and the money wont be there to keep it sustainable or sensible for a track car.

So, as a result, EVERYTHING is going. It's a decent spec car as most people know, and I'm keeping absolutely nothing off of it. A few parts are reserved for a couple of people who knew I was indecisive, but will publish a full parts and prices list tomorrow, so keep your eyes open in the Cosworth parts section.

Not going to be on that much any more, but will still be around, and will try and attend a few trackdays and shows etc.

Cheers to a few people who've helped me out loads with the car - SCC boys, MikeR, Brom, etc, and cheers to Porkie too

I'd also like to thank god..............

 

good luck with what ever you do rich

Best of luck to you Rich - hope you have more luck getting on that property ladder than me - I took a step back from cars n all that a year or two ago now and even after selling the 3i, and both the S1's I STILL can't afford to "go it alone" as far as houses go - I'm gonna be struggling to rent a poxy flat FFS

good luck with your new venture.. i also just got on the property ladder, but was fortunate enough to keep the RS... Sure you'll be able to buy another shortly, thats if you want to

 

check the list westy, you might find he just dont advertise it

 

Pon i see i taught you well

But well done...you cant even handle an MR2...so atleast this car will have a fighting chance

 

all the best rich

 

Needs must Rich...If you have to do then good on ya... No point doing something to satisfy others, if your not as into it and the money is needed then its the right decision

 

for a good cause pal

 

you are doing the right thing Richard,its moe important to get property/house etc...these days as they are just commanding more and more money every 6 months.

Hope you get everything sorted and be back on the car scene.

See you soon Richard.

 

sounds like the right decision rich. i might be following suit soon, don't need 3.3 cars

what diff/beam have you got, i need one?

 

Good Luck mate!

 

FOR SALE ad

Im glad you have taken the time to make the decision ... rather than the impulse last year

Right, now first dibs on the throttle cable bracket

 

ROFL @ my PM box going crazy

Phil - can't handle the MR2? Not at all - just had never seen those bumper attracting lamposts before!

Nick - beam/diff is a ZOO 10.5" jag setup with custom prop to the T5 (almost same as Rod's setup)

 

its true, ive personally seen him Handle a magnificant spin goin
onto castle combe straight!!

fair play though, i didnt realise it was you at the time, but definitly looked
good on track!

 

double post!

 

Rich - you have pm

Seriously- glad you've come to a decision as its a lot of money to be tied up doing nothing when it could help you get on the property ladder

See you at Bedford

 

Why thank you - that was.... spectacular!


Right........... parts are up for sale. No going back now!

 

Its a scary thought when you start to think about breaking it....... but when the ŁŁŁ starts flooding in the thought soon passes

Took me 8 hrs to strip it bare and got Ł6000 back in 6 days and Ł9500 in total....... I was


Good luck

Steve

 

but what did the car owe you?? it's no wonder the cars get broken up.

PON you got a PM

 

rich you're turning into spadge

rip the scc taxi

wise decision pal, get on the property ladder

 

Don't worry Matt.

Once I've moved in to a place and got that under my belt for a year or two, I'll be back in a nice car again.

Will still do the odd track day in the MR2

 

Good Luck with everything dude! got to say that you're deffo one of the coolest peeps I've met on here. Hope to see you this way in 06
