Originally a 1991 tt auto but nearly all mechanical components changed for newer... its worth the money for the engine, box & shaft alone.

 

Car Taxed to 1st Oct and MOT’d till 6th June 15.

 

I just can’t bring myself to keep going, unfortunately (to my regret) I didn’t replace the turbos at rebuild.

As far as I’m concerned the body needs a lot of work to get it up to anything other than shed.

 

The current engine was re-built at Zedworld in 2012.

This engine is capable of well over 600bhp…

Engine bought as a short block (USA import, build for racing):

 

Wiseco forged pistons (88mm)

Forged Eagle rods.

Balanced main shaft, block was machined, honed & cleaned.

New OEM bearings, crank, oil pump, oil pan and rear main seal (June 2012)

 

Also:

 

Cometic metal head gaskets.

Nismo 555 injectors

PTU (brand new for USA 2011)

New water pump (2012)

New cambelt (Nov 2012 - Zedworld)

full Unorthodox lightened racing pulley set.

 

JWT 530bb turbos (blowing oil, seals gone)

Chipped ecu

Greddy PRofec e-01 boost controller

Jap speed decat pipes

Custom stainless exhaust

HKS twin dump-valves with Y pipes.

induction hard pipe kit - silicone (green)

Godspeed side mount intercoolers

New wiring harness (2008)

Alloy hi-flow radiator

K & N cone air filter (cleanable)

5 speed manual gearbox (out of a 1994)

6 puck competition clutch.

lightened balanced flywheel.

 

Single piece prop shaft (Zedworld)

R33 front disks and callipers

Alloy hubcentric spacers

18" alloy wheels (need attention)

Whiteline anti roll bar

Hicas eliminator system - (Conceptua - Bycas in green)

EGR bypass (removal)

Water plenum bypass

Cruise control deleted

Clifford concept 650 alarm system

Greddy front bumper

Viper rear spoiler

99 spec front light inserts with HIDs

Rear fogs integrated into rear center light section (all LED).

clear front & read side repeaters (yellow leds)

Dash 3 gauge pod (with Tim gauges, all led) yes I know Tim is crap but they look retro..

 

if you’re interested I’m open to offers. I’ve just been offered £2k by a guy on ebay but I’d be gutted to let it go for that… If there was any way I could afford to keep it (even for a track car) I would…

 

more info available if interested.

So whats wrong with the body? Looks ok in the pics

yeah, pics are deceptive... it has quite a few sections with rust.. if it were only the rust, I'd keep it.. same if it were only the turbos... but with a could of other minor issues I've lost the love!!! :(

 

if you want I'll pm you close up pics of the rust..

Could you pm me some close ups of the rusty sections please mate.

done.. :)

come on guys.. offers??

 

the tax runs out the end of the month and I'd prefer to sell it before I have to put another 6 months on it...

You can't sell it with Tax on it from 1st October so no point in taxing it.

sorry, I don't get you? please explain..

If it's your daily driver ignore my comments.

 

But if it is just sat on your drive doing nothing waiting to be sold then there's no need to tax.

Part of the new VED laws is that as well as not needing to display a tax disc, you also can not sell a car with tax on it. Any tax remaining is automatically refunded to you once you inform DVLA you have sold the car.

The new owner has to tax the vehicle himself before he departs with it.

New tax system coming into place, existing tax will automatically be refunded to previous owner on completion of change of ownership.

Damn. beat me again!:lol:

Ah, I see... but I thought you had to have tax on a car unless it was declared SORN..

 

and if someone want to test drive and then drive it away it should be taxed.. shouldn't it?

 

Did the article say "once completion of change of ownership", that takes a few days, does it not?

 

cheers for the in for guys..

Yep https://www.gov.uk/sorn-statutory-off-road-notification

SORN or tax - there's no "in-between".

cheers...

Offers?

Shame this hasn't sold.

If it was either just rust, or just the turbo's, I would have been tempted myself.

 

But just too much hassle to do both for me at the moment. Especially as rust is such an unknown until you start stripping the sills.

 

GLWTS though, I'm sure someone will take it off your hands eventually. I fear it might just be to break though.

my thoughts too...good spec on the block there and would or should make a nice project..

It would make an ideal solution to my problem, but I can't raise nearly the asking price, what I could muster presently would be insulting.

Is this still for sale mate?

yes... sure is..

OK... £2k........ need rid of now... even the misses is talking about breaking it... but I just don't have the time...

Someone must want this for parts...

 

Come on guys make me an offer... :(

still for sale? if so have you got recipts/any pics for the build and also how many miles has engine covered ect also whats your location?

Location:Torbay
