lol, garage is all clean and car is well and truly locked away now!
few more bits to do. Mostly pat has to sort out some wiring issues.
Will take it down to PE after that and see if 555bhp on the engine dyno equates to the same or similar on the rollers.

can anyone help me sell mine?
its been up for sale on here for three months, immaculate condition, perfect show car, or building block for a big project.
run on optimax and nf race fuel, knocklinked etc, all services complete etc etc, however no comments or views at all!!
no responses from Top Marques, Autotrader or E-Bay or on here as yet, i think its priced right?
The only response i have had was from Pistonheads, the guy was keen but went for Peccy's instead.
any ideas guys??? anyone offer any advice on how to sell it?
car details on the first post in this thread or more here:-

Looks mint to me (from the photo). Altho I would say that with near enough 60k on the clock, you may want to lower the price to say £12,995 and take a bid on it. I've just had take £900 less than I wanted on my UK turbo that I've just sold with a similar mileage on as yours. I was told by an import specialist (that didnt even want mine particularly as a PX because of the mileage) that unless they have 30-35k on the clock, they have to be priced to sell (no matter how mint condition) IE fairly cheap. Otherwise, with the amount to choose from out there, it could be months before you get a bite (so to speak). Cr@p isnt it!
Good luck m8

thanks guys, i think that may help its sale along, i really do love my car, but living in london means its almost un-affordable insurance-wise. hence moving on.
i will lower the price and see what comes, it is a real head turner and i would hope that it would go to a good home. perhaps now i should retry Top Marques, Banzai and Piston-heads.
Anyone got any other ideas?

Right then, here we go....
Heres what I've just got rid of....
to make way for this....not the best pic but I'll have some better ones after the weekend....
My new baby....
I think I might just have to take that scoop off but seeing as it is bolted in, maybe in a few weeks after I have been to see Andy F to get the Apexi PFC fitted and mapped

Edited to say: Cheers for the Photobucket link Lee

So there are still quite a lot to choose from with this being the first on the list....
