HPi Clear + No Recorded Damage

Bad Points:

Had kerb damage last year resulting in the new front driver side suspension parts being fitted and driver side wing being replaced. During this work I had extensive jig work done on the car (costing in excess of £1k) to ensure the car was straight and true as I was intending to use the car on the track (full engineer report and contact details of the Accident Repair specialist available).

The bonnet was also replaced (aluminium bonnet) due to various stone chips and small dents. Passenger side wing was replaced 6 months ago due to someone deciding it looked better with a shopping trolly parked into it :s

Steering Column bush not seated correctly - this was my fault, replaced the steering rack recently and didn't notice the steering column bush was loose, this is causing the steering column to move slightly and will require reseating.

Misc Information:

Recently serviced where I replaced the oil with Millers 10w60 oil, replaced the oil filter with an STi Pink brand (from scoobyparts.com) and also replaced the brake fluid with new dot 5.1 fluid (replaced clutch fluid as well). Also fitted new tyres all round (approx 80% life left).

The front brakes were upgraded with Black Diamond grooved + vented discs (as new), Subaru 4-Pot calipers and Black Diamond brake pads (50% life left).

-----------

The car needs minor TLC to put right however as I was intending to prep the car for track use the above points were not going to be addressed until next year where I planned to get the car stripped to bare shell and rebuilt.

As it stands, it's in very good condition and a lot of fun with the DCCD control and combined with the quickshift gearbox and quickrack steering the RA will make lightwork of any road you point it at.

Due to having a close ratio gearbox it is incredibly quick (sub 4.5 0-60 times) however being a MY00 model it benefits from a slightly taller 5th gear for easier cruising speeds (note that car redlines at 150 mph to give you an idea of how close the ratios are).

I am reluctant to let it go however needs must, have a growing family and due to the declining housing market I need to free up some funds and make room for the dreaded MPV family bus.

I have advertised it at £5k which I think is a bargain for what the car is however the price is negotiable and I am open to serious offers.

Any questions don't hesitate to send me a PM or call me on 07845 347 565 (Buckinghamshire)

Thanks for looking, Taz

 

Shame you got to sell. I remember you being so chuffed when you got it.

Good luck with the sale.

 

Thanks mate, yeah had big plans for the motor, spent quite a lot of money on the motor just to get it put right and on toys as you do with these motors hehe.

Tough times at the moment unfortunately, would have kept the car but some of my property developments are not shifting and the Mrs is demanding the car goes in favour of something she can motor the kids in

Fingers crossed I will be back in the scooby fold as I dont think I want any other sports car so provided things settle down next year I should get hold of an earlier Type RA to start competing in hill climbing events.

Bump again then, come on people take a look - the RA is ripe for a project!

 

/\ For Taz.

How you been, buddy? Good luck with the sale.

 

Hey bro, yeah all good, unfortunately selling the beast as you can tell :s

BUMP! - Price dropped, £4200 ono

 

do you still have the car?
