Nice car Phil,
not being funny but have you driven and enjoyed a New-age car, as they are a lot heavier, and less involving, ( unless 400 bhp ! ) ?

try putting it up for sale at the price you want, a decent ad with plenty of good pics and you never know.......

can clearly see it's a minter, be a shame to break

As above Phil, decent ad with a full description and good pics will see the right buyer come along. I put my 205 up for sale and got loads of enquiries within a few days. I almost wished I had asked for more £££ now

£4k for a 300bhp classic is a good price to be fair, especially given it's been done properly. Only thing I'd be wary of is the 90k cambelt unless done.

phil739

iTrader: (30)

no. not driven a newage yet , but have been looking at sti blobs
your right its the 400+ i want , and just thought it would be more relastic to spend the money on a newer car and try and get the classic to 400+

from what i haave been reading its just a quick turbo chanhe and a remap and the newage would be close to 400 ?

yes i will test drive one before i make my final decision before everyone jumps on me ...lol

pslewis

That will sell .....

Not my cup of tea - but £4000 is no money at all really ......

are you sure the interior is mint phil
nice looking car mate
advertise for the price you want and see what happens
but you know on here the response you will get
but sod them and hold out
tempted to have it myself
if you want to test a newage 400+ pop down mate
good luck

phil739

iTrader: (30)

A standard STi blob will completely underwhelm you coming from a 300bhp classic to be honest, they are well to be blunt slow. As dunx said u need to try one with at least a remap ~320bhp. That will probably feel slow compared to your classic as well though heh

Budgie

iTrader: (4)

dont forget, feel slow and be slow are different

Had a WRX blob a couple of years back. Wasn't slow but felt it. Went back to UK classics. Felt fast and went faster after a few mods. And I kept the £5k change.

Speak with SwissTony.
He broke his mint W reg in the same colour, for the same reason.
The right car, as is this, and Swiss's was will make you more money in parts.

BIG FUD

iTrader: (84)

No way would i break that ...

DannyBoy007

iTrader: (7)

Break it but expect to be left with some parts that no one will ever want

DCCD six speed "kit" £3K
V7+ STI motor £1.2K
MD321? 2nd hand ? £800

Sell your engine and box....
