************NOW SOLD***********

The time has come to part company with a very close friend after six years Presently, on Steve Simpson map it's running 420/400 on straight Tesco 99 or 470/450 with +10% methanol on switchable map. The short engine is the same spec as Duncan's and uses STi3 heads and cams. A bigger turbo and re-map would see 500+ but then I'd be chasing 600. :wack:

Nothing will be removed until the engine and possibly gearbox have a large deposit on them (within reasonable time). It would be stupid to immobilise the thing for a

Can't believe you are doing this Gerry after it went so well on the track night.

I am sure you have your reasons though. Perhaps this is just a moment of madness due to the heat and you will change your mind.

Good luck anyway.

The car's going well and out performed me at Goodwood.

It's reached a point where it ought to go onto a trailer. That would mean having to get some 4 x 4 thing just to pull it about.

It's just dawned on me that this thing has consumed immesurable time and money over the 6 years I've had it and it's time to call a halt. It'll stay in one piece so that potential engine purchasers can experience the kick in the ar$e that this thing delivers.

MOT, insurance and tax were all renewed last week as it really is the 6th anniversary of our love-hate relationship.

It will also fund the next, much cheaper toy. Not a BMW btw

Great shame, I've seen this car develop over the years and I've always had a bit of a soft spot for it.

Would you consider offers for it complete Gerry?

Cheers

Hi Andy, nice to see you're still about

Having seen threads where people have tried to sell their money pit, as a complete car and then ended up breaking anyway, it I thought it better to just go straight to breaking. If you'd like to make a sensible offer, I'm all ears.

There's a spare shell I'll chuck in as well
