558bhp Catalunya for sale
Ok Iv thought long and hard about this and as much as it pains me I'm going to have to sell my recently finished project car, we want to have children an I just can't justify keeping it.
I have had a project thread running for the last few years which details a bit about the car. The body work is not in excellent condition at all and could do with a respray/tidy up, I was never to bothered about how it looked to be honest, as it stands the look kind is suits the car I think, a bit ratty I think they call it in the vw world?, it's not rusty etc though don't worry lol. The car is not at all luxurious to drive on the road, it's loud, the ppg dog box is straight cut with straight cut centre diff so whines like a banshee!, it has an external waste gate with screamer pipe and 3" exhaust with 4"back box, IT'S LOUD!, the suspension is rock hard and you can feel every bump in the road, the 10" wide Rota fighter drifts ride in and out of the tracks in the road like a bitch!, BUT besides all this when you floor it or throw it into a corner all of that disappears and it makes you feel 100% alive. Ill try an put down spec list but will probably forget some bits. Shell is a my97 Catalunya with charge speed front rear bumper, side skirts and wings, Abw wide rivet on arches, flat boot floor. Eibach pro street coilovers with gaz springs. White line roll centre adjuster kit. White line front arb 22mm Whiteline rear arb 24mm White line rear drop links and arb mounts. Cusco H brace STI front and rear strut braces Many things poly bushed (can't remember what) BRAKES front hi spec monster 6 pots with newish discs etc Rear Brembo gold 2 pots Braided lines Drive train PPG straight cut dog box 1-5 with billet selector forks, straight cut Modena centre diff (straight cut drop gears) cusco 1.5 way LSD, recently inspected and refreshed by Paul at zen. Exedy twin plate clutch R180 rear diff R180 rear hubs ENGINE Cosworth/Jun 2.1 stroker kit consisting of - EJ20 CDB - acid-dipped, media blasted and threads retapped - rear thrust conversion - 14mm head-stud conversion - 0.5mm bore and hone - faces skimmed. Cosworth 92.5 mm stroker pistons Jun stroker con rods Centre thrust 79mm crank shaft Cosworth 14mm head stud and dowel conversion ACL race big and and main bearings RCM uprated oil pump 4 layer uprated head gasket set V1 inlet manifold Parralell rails Turbo smart fpr 1000cc phase 2 injectors AS performance baffled sump AS performance billet inlet mani spacers Braided fuel lines Mad hammer 3 port catch can system Only around 2000 miles of which 1000 were running in, always run on motul 300v 15w50, always warmed and cooled, in perfect condition. Edited to say one of the cdb halfs had a very slight hairline crack in the external water ways, the was found while running in, the block half was inspected and sent to a professional were it was slightly v'd and alloy welded while being heated, this hasn't and won't be a problem at all with the engine and in my opinion shouldn't and won't effect the price of what is a very well spec'd and built lump built to handle alot of boost/power. Want to be honest about everything on the car. HEADS V4 sti heads ported and flowed JUN 272 deg cam shafts. TURBO/EXHAUST Lateral performance spec'd garrett GT3040r turbo Gruppe s2 headers, wrapped H&S rotated up-pipe wrapped H&S rotated 3" down pipe wrapped All slip jointed and choice of x 2 back boxes FUEL SYSTEM Walbro 255lph intank lift pump 1.5l swirl pot Mounted in boot Bosch 044 inline pump. -"- Sytec inline filter -"- MANAGMENT Syvecs s6 pnp Cal switch JT innovations wide band kit JT innovations ait sensor kit Gm 3 bar map sensor Mac 3 port boost solenoid WHEELS/TIRES 10"x18 ET20 Rota fighter drifts in matt black Toyo R888 tires very good cond hardly any use. VARIOUS Defi guages oil pres oil temp & boost + controller OMP deep dish steering wheel V1 Sti half alcantra interior Composite rear fire wall Sound deadening stripped I'm sure there are bits Iv forgotten, Iv talyed up the price of the parts if I was to break the car, it comes in excess of £14k! It will break my heart to sell so to break it would probably kill me lol, if necessary I will at a later date I suppose. It has been mapped by Simon roe at Jgm and I'm sure he would vouch for the engine box etc. Last mapping session saw a max of 558bhp and 449lbft at 1.8 bar with about 16% meth mix, Simon thinks the engine is crying out for a gt35r turbo, it should see an easy 600bhp with one fitted and mapped accordingly. The car currently has about 6 months tax and mot left. CAR WON'T BE AVAILABLE TILL THE END OF MARCH. Looking for around £11k considering engine and gearbox. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...6216D094A8.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...s/a221cc26.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...s/a6a85d9b.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...s/08ff8e25.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...s/da004446.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...s/27de16a1.jpg |

|
Also to add Iv got new hard race engine and G box mounts new in the box ready to fit, also a new set of ferodo ds2500 front pads and pagid rear pads.
The Ecu currently has 7 x maps on it selected via the cal switch, ranging from 1-3 1=low boost v power est 430bhp going up to cal 3= V power high boost est 500bhp. Cal's 4-5-6-7 are low being 4 high being 7 methanol maps all at 20% mix with v power and cal 7 being top 558/449 map. |

Thanks, doesn't look as clean as that now though.
Would do a deal with someone possibly, maybe a evo? Or a 535D something with 4 doors that will fit a baby seat in the back :) |
Nice car with a good spec, GLWTS!

There has been a bit of interest with some bits so if it does come to breaking ill contact people in order of there enquiries starting from this thread, think that's the fairest way to sell things
|
hi mate could you put more pics of the car the way it looks now and few of the trim interested in the car
|
What ill do is take a short video of the car with a walk round showing starting etc if you guys like that way I can point out the bits that are tatty etc, may make it easier, I will do it asap, may have to be Saturday as its usually dark when get home from work.
In the mean time ill search what latest pics I have to give you an idea. |
Sweet looking car buddy with a very nice spec,shame you have to part with it and an even bigger shame if you do break it,nice track weapon for someone.;)
