hoping to take some better pics this weekend after the snow! paid £400 for a pro detailer last year and after a wash (2 bucket method) comes up gleaming.

 

ill throw in a tank of V Power

 

Can't believe this hasn't sold, I think it's the perfect classic, maybe it's the purists that would rather see an RB5 left as stock, wouldn't bother me.

 

not even had 1 viewing going on Ebay / Autotrader soon...

 

Horses for courses. OE is the new modded if you want to sell now. Due to the body mods you are likely to get more by breaking than as a whole unless someone with specific tastes buys it.

 

I like it, but the miles for me is just the one thing that gets in the way of perusing my thought process of even considering owning it. Also when you hear 2.1 you expect large power output, or at least I do. So although the 2.1 is fresh and reliable, I’d hope for 400-500bhp.

That said I think it’s priced fairly, just not something for me.

yep i opted for the 2.1 as a basis to build on but never got round to it shame about the mileage because 79.5% ish of the car is nowhere near that (box, engine, complete suspension, brakes, wheels, turbo, exhaust...)

 

nah selling up, might consider a PX but for less then half the amount if anyone else has anything...

 

Still on a stock gearbox ?

Tim

 

yes Tim, not the original but a low mileage replacement box when i took ownership supplied and fitted by Scooby Clinic, smooth gear change in all gears i also replaced the clutch at the same time so thats like new also.

 

What block has it fitted standard/scd/cd.
Cheers.

 

using a SCD block.

 

Now in indoor Storage. Still For Sale.

 

 

Payment Plan? might be an idea actually as i work for a car dealer some days so in theory they could buy it from me then arrange car finance or contract hire for you!?

 

First viewing today at last...
