Those that know me will know that I have car OCD, so you are looking at an exceptionally nice car.
I bought the car from Max at Hurstcars back in March of 2013 (98000km's). I chose it because even though it wasn't perfect it had potential so took it knowing I would need to do a number of jobs. It came with an exhaust that was an ear shattering 106db and the most horrendous paddle clutch (The day I collected it it was snowing and there was ice everywhere!!, suffice to say I drove it
carefully home). The car has been maintained by AP Tuning in Lenwade with parts supplied by AS Performance. Early within ownership was a power run at AP Tuning. All came back healthy, running 273bhp @ 1.0 bar. My sole reason for purchasing the car was to use it for trackdays however it slowly but surely became my daily driver and infact only ever saw one trackday at Snetteron.
This car is seriously fast! Handles brilliantly, open diff on the road and 2nd stage on track and sounds superb. Drives as it should.
It is absolutely MINT!

What's been done
All four calipers replaced with a godspeed refurbished set, along with new disks and pads.
Replaced centre pipe and rear box with a 'Racebox', this provides a more sensible 96db
Replaced the paddle clutch with an Exedy organic single and at the same time fitted a lightened flywheel provided by AS Performance
Uprated gear linkage including hard mounts again provided by AS Performance.
Uprated the fuel pump to a Walboro 255L.
Fitted a baffled sump, the clubman from AS Performance.
Replaced the VF28 as the original emitted a slight whine on spin down which my OCD wouldn't let me ignore.
Replaced steering rack ends, front droplinks and front ball joints then fully laser aligned. carried out 150 miles ago.
Refreshed Gearbox fitted 150 miles ago (5 months left on the warranty). Gearbox had covered 50,000 miles prior to refresh.
Replaced R180 R4.44 diff 150 miles ago, diff had covered 50,000 miles.
Replaced clutch slave cylinder 150 miles ago.
Fitted complete set of gauges, Oil Temp, Oil Pressure and Boost Gauge.

In my mind I am about 99% complete on this project. If I was continuing I would replace the rear droplinks and associated bushes.
The window rubbers are still original and for my OCD need to be replaced with new.The car for whatever reason didn't
have a coolant tank in the wing so I jury rigged a drinking bottle off my mountain bike, this proved to be rather efficient enabling
me to replace coolant on a regular basis so I've never changed it out ( I planned to make a more permanent system)
Bad bits
Engine Warning Light does not illuminate when ignition turned on. Never seen it light. Full health check when mapping has proved there are no issues.
18inch revolutions could do with a refurb due to minor kerb marks.
The windows have the normal scratches from the mechanism. The passenger window closes slowly when the car is not running, when running is fine.
There is still an occasional grind from the passenger rear. it's the disk catching on the backing plate.
Aircon needs regassing.
Since fitting K-sport pull off wheel, Horn can be intermittent, as I'm such a curteous driver this hasn't caused an issue.
Car is £8500 as she stands. It will come with a spare intercooler kit, powder coating expansion tank and inlet manifold (needs painting)
I do have a comprehensive collection of spares that can also be made available.
One complete gearbox
One propshaft
One set of 16 inch wheels with R888's (Wheels are scabby)
One set of 16 inch wheels with Nankang Winters (Wheels are MINT)
One set of rear lights
Assorted sensors, switches, lugs, nuts etc.
