Engine is from ttrw? Or c2k
All new gaskets etc only done a few miles iirc. We put engine in earlier this year
Steel caged box too with type b diff iirc.

I mean why was the engine replaced more so.

Also whats the engine from, does it leak anything , whats the total mileage on it , proper sump etc. etc.

What is the current engine spec?

Vinny says it might be from TTRW in which case it it forged?

This needs buying up! The brakes are worth a third of the asking price!

Its a genuine turbo, time for someone to put their money where their mouth is.

Drives lovely, so tight imo.

Original engine was believed to be piston rings topic here
http://www.rt2468abcd.r8technology.co.uk/viewtopi ... 0&t=118638

Engine is from C2ks green gsi turbo
On 91,000 miles runs lovely,
I spent near £300 on new seals couple of new sensors etc just before the engine went in. still have receipt.
Car is on 85,000 or there abouts still have original clocks.
Car has service book stamped up to about 65,000 miles and 3 keys.
There is a small oil leak, not sure where it's from. I think it's from turbo oil feed return.
No rust really only a few bubbles, really is in good condition. There is the laquer peel on passenger rear quarter which I will post a pic later tonight.

Really is a good car and I'm really reluctant to sell but needs must and all that. Been thinking it over for a while now .

Sorry forgot to add

Engine is standard apart from
K and n panel filter
Mbc
And cat back mongoose exhaust.

best i can offer is long term storage if that helps.

Sorry but i have 8 in my fleet at the moment all needing work and a whopping 2-3hrs per week to get them fixed.

Cheers buddy but I'm pretty sure it would just end up rotting away

Here is the laquer peel

This fails imo.

Store it dude, you'll blow the cash like we all would, then miss the turbo. £1000 or so wont last long and will vanish with a few beers and some smokes. Forget about your outlay on the car and let it appreciate in value over the next few years

My advice is store it.

Simples. At the end of the day this is one of what 20 odd road legal genuine GSi turbos? This WILL be worth money in a few years, I predict if you sell it that figure will be -1 GSi Turbo as some clown will see this as ZR fodder. I would consider buying this just to store it but I already have the 20v and the gsi turbo on the drive along with her zr.

Decisions old boy.

Dont fail here,

i wish i had the money for this would be good car but i agree with vinny selling would be bad step

Really can't justify keeping it tbh!

I've kept ignoring my outlay on it every month. But realistically I only ever drive it to POL etc. It's been twice in 3 years. Not worth it IMO

SORN it no outlay then simples

Drive it to my unit, put the car cover on it, sorn it. I'll even wash it once a month with the rest of the cars.

Not that simple I keep it at my friends house on his drive who charges me for the Privelage.

Could do that but I like it close to where I am hence why I'm paying for it to be stored at my mates down the road. Thanks for the offer again though.


So anyone interested?

Interested sent pm.

Not a real friend in my opinion mate at one point i had 3 extra oval race cars in my garden that belonged to mates i never charged them a penny and they use to come work on them round mine and do as they like

Sell me yours, then you can buy this

Sunday bump!


New windscreen in April 12
Along with new and sensors both front and one rear.

Thought there would be a bit more interest than this!


Cheers

Nothing is really selling at the minute mate

With the present climate people are after low CC cheap cars to run sad really but thank the government

Sadly this is true.

It's just annoying how everyone always says they want a turbo hatch. And then a decent one comes up for sale and nobody's interested. You see it all the time.

Still. That's the way the cookie crumbles I suppose. Ha ha

Awkward
