Time to say good bye...

Well, after over a years ownership of the best car I have ever owned, it s finally time to say good bye. :cry:

 

Its off to get a full service, touch up at the bodyshop and the full Bling engine makeover, and when its back it will be up for sale.

 

Be about July I imagine. oh well...

 

Wont be the last one I own though. I will be back. :)

Why you selling?

 

cheerz, mickey

Main reason is cost. Ive put about 15K into it over the past year or so. Mostly on petrol. Now its time to pay it back. Plus Im needing to buy a house, so every penny counts.

 

The second reason is that I hardly drive it now. Typical, finaly get a garage and classic car insurance, but dont actually drive it anywhere!

 

Thirdly, the scum that have recently moved into the area seem intent on finding any nice cars and keying them. Or smashing the wing mirrors off, as in my case. :mad:

 

I cant do the car justice by having it sitting away not being driven. So, as its running as sweet as a nut, with the knowledge that its been fully serviced, I'll sell it.

 

Its going to be very difficult to see it go, I can tell you.

 

I'll hopefully be able to take it to one last show in June, before it finds a new owner.

 

Oh well.

I've seen this car and it looks and sounds sweet as a nut! Good luck mate!

 

I'd put the spec down.

Cheers Cos. I was going to wait till I had the car ready, but here goes.

 

Firstly, the obvious stuff.

Metalic Grey 1991 J Spec TT Auto. All leather interior. :)

 

Servicing/History.

Fully documented, comprehensive history since the day it was imported. Every receipt, every job done is in this folder. Oil & Filter every 3000 miles. Major belt change when imported at a reading of 67604. Just about to undergo its next big service at 97,000. Series 2 PTU installed. Fuel filter, plugs etc all replaced. Too much love and attention to list.

 

ICE.

Last owner installed a massive amount of ICE. All kenwood components: Masked head unit, front components, rear 6X4s, Tube sub in the boot plus 10 disc multi changer. Nothing over the top. Just very high quality sound. Oh, and loads of sound deadening material in the doors.

 

Mods.

K&N Filters, SS Mongoose Exhaust, HKS Dumpvalves with steel hardpipes (these may or may not be on the car at sale, as I also have Smithy's SS hard pipes as well), engine chip with jets, running at 13 PSI. Drilled & Grooved front Discs. 99 Spec front & High level rear spoiler. And to top it all off, it had a full respray back in September last year. By the time it comes back to me, it will have the radiator SS hard pipes as well.

 

Security.

It has a laserline CAT1 alarm and last year Bob fitted a Tracker system to it as well.

 

The car now runs sweeter than it ever has since Ive owned it. Ive poured money into it like there was no tomorrow, with no intention of ever getting it back. Its been worth every penny. I cant believe that Im actually going to be selling it.

Well I am shocked, Z's are usually renowned for being so bullet proof unlike TOYOTAS and being so reliable.

 

Well, at least you'll get some money back after the engine rebuild etc.

 

Trust me when I say that if you are thinking about spending a good 40K on a car that you paid less than a 10K large for....go for an R34 instead!

 

Well don't blame me, PaulC is to blame for this as he insisted I posted something contraversial! ROFLMFAO Warren would have been proud of me I'm sure, bless him! LMFAO
