yeah plus the engine will be owner for the new owner saves them doing it as it’s costing me but would rather tell the new owner exactly what’s wrong with it rather than guessing. And all the parts will be in boxes which are labelled

 

Any engine news ?

 

+1

 

Was this the one for sale in ayr? It was up for a long time.

Can’t recommend Andy Napier enough, the car is in good hands.

odd that there are pictures of a cossie belt with dayco belt on the invoice.

 

you are keeping us in suspense,whats happening

 

its sold to a breaker now As far as i hear

 

infact it’s not I still have the car so that’s bull**** for a start Lolol.

ok so update engine is ****ed really needs a full rebuild so now selling the car with the engine out for £5,500 and not a penny less. Tbh am bloody gutted but it is what it is so if anyone is interested let me know

 

My bad i was told paddy mcknight bought it
what was issue with engine as the rac guy asked me to find out

 

still in talks with paddy but haven’t decided what I am doing tbh. Well basically ran lean caused it to overheat and Andy saids needs a rebuild basically and a just have the money or time for it anymore so a will cut my losses and take 5,500.

such a shame as it’s a stunning car

 

Shame your ownership was short lived mate
i rebuilt my hatch sti when i had it then didn't want to drive it

 

ano mate 5 bloody days man am so gutted as it was a stunning looking car aswell n though a would of kept it for a while 😩but it is what it is a guess

 

Aye mate a £5000 rebuild can sting a bit hopefully it sells quickly

 

yeah same hope so 😩

 

Why did it run lean?

 

something to do with the turbo a pipe maybe.

basicaly Andy said the build was bad the way it was put together esp for the amount of money that was spent on parts for it

 

seems a little vague mate if you ask me

 

tbh mate Andy is sending me over a in depth email about it but it’s more than I can afford to pay so no point getting to in depth

 

its a pity this car is so far away

 

wouldnt cost much on a transporter to get to you

 

£5,500 come and take it. I can help if you need a transporter and is fairly priced same guy who took it from my house up to andys place

 

you need to put an exact description on why it failed mate, just saying a turbo pipe or running lean wouldnt be enough info for me.

fuel pump problem???
ecu mapping problem???
injector problem???

it looks a nice project for somebody

i am down in the Forest of Dean Gloucestershire where exactly is this car

 

the car is in Perth at Ra motorsport developments bud

 

A detailed report would be good

 

by all mean if you wanted to give the garage a call I am fine with that Andy said he would be happy to tell the buyer what is wrong he was/is sending me over a email about it

 

420 miles from Perth to me

 

worth every mile for a cracking car body work is mint aswell as interior no rips tears nothing. Alloys don’t have one mark on them either

 

have you got a full spec of the car with all mods
is the gearbox ok - no crunching etc

 

gearbox is perfect no issues what so ever and full spec below.82k miles 355bhp
