NOW THE BAD BIT !!!
i was driving before christmas and floored it in 5th gear which isnt a uprated gear and dosnt wine, well any way it blew, I think its the bearings and as a result i have no 1st 5th and reverse gears.

The car has sat for two months and i just cant seem to get the money to repair so i am selling.

I paid£7000 so i was hoping for £5000 back,

DISCLAIMER : the person driving in these videos is now living the rest of his life in Australia, and will never be returning back to the UK

 

The video is the only time i ever launched the car, and i didnt even use launch control .

 

TX's old car and its a good'un

FUD be worth a punt, swap it all over ;-)

 

ive asked buddy lol

 

It's worth more in parts!

 

Dont have the tools, space ect to break car up

 

What you waiting for then kidda buy it break it

Was the engine issue sorted that i read about in previous posts usuing water ect .

If so what was the issue and who did the work ?


Regards
fud.

 

yer the problem was the head gasket was slightly damaged, i had both gaskets replaced with the same as the origanal ceramic ones, the heads were skimmed and all works carried out by Rich @ Fbtunning,

 

ok exlnt ..

 

id love to get my baby back hard to beat the sound of the ppg and the md321t chirping away there. Gorgeous

 

Did you see my videos ?

 

The debris from the 5th gear will be stopping you selecting 1st and reverse, I did exactly the same thing and drove all the way back from to leeds in 4th with a blitz nur spec All the other gears worked fine bar 5th that was not there anymore

Replaced 5th gear and it was good as gold again

 

How much to have one gear replaced ?

 

Most of it was labour, will see if i can find the receipt

 

yeah dooda watched the vids, brings back so many fun memories of dark cold nights locked in a garage with mates building this beast

 

I would drain the oil and flush it through with some fresh cheap oil and see if you can recover 1st and reverse at least then you can move it about (not on the road) but to repair and onto a lowloader I was going to do the same but had it trailered in the end

 

£5k is nuts dooda, do all you can to keep for that price.

TX.

 

It cost a LOT more than 5k just to build it lol

 

it is nuts but its just sitting on my drive, ive only done 3 and half thousand miles since i bought it and i cant afford to repair it.

 

Lots of paperwork included, MOT till june and tax till may,

 

yer you bult a awesome machine

 

Looks and sounds an awsome car , how much would it cost to repair (any quotes)or what would it cost and be safer to convert to a 6 speed?

 

So, is this for sale m8 or you trying a repair?

 

Send him a PM fella, still for sale afaik.

TX.

 

Get it bought Neil

 

yer i was told beyween 1200 to 1500 would buy me a second hand six speed, and then fitting costs, so i suppose 2 k all in ?
