well it is the legal top speed so i obviously abide by it haha, it was a joke in-line withe 0-62mp time of 1.2 seconds. you cant leave these areas blank so may aswellplay on them, 0-60 in all homesty is nearer 1.4 seconds flat - but who is counting lol
suggested 1/4 mile is 8 seconds on a wet day i just use thesas a filtration service on potential buyers tbh - sorry lol

once an educated buyer has passed the test thn im willing to listen tot them - silly monkeys rarely get that far lol(in an non racial implication)

Looks a great spec mate but i really would put the full spec up and more details regarding your ownership if the car. Also get some poncy out door photos with nice background. Always helps putting some effort it when selling a car as it makes it stand out even more. Small attention to detail and all that.

Great price to but it's still close to 10k so it's worth a little extra push your end to help the sale.

Best of luck with it and hope the right new owner comes along and looks after it

more pics of the car inside and outside. and definately a full write up needed.

the ad on pistonheads tells you very little about the car.

You can never have to many pictures or to much detail.

How come your selling already?

What year is it as it doesn't say properly on the advert, only that it's 2000. Is that the Turbo 2000 or MY, in which case it's on a pre facelift bumper.

Me thinks you couldn't subliminally be arsed to do it properly so not many people would show interest

or i dont really want it gone

i mistakenly thought anyone serious would take the time to enquire, rather than blasting up the whole spec into one boring paragraph.

ill let this one exppire, and the next one will be much improved if ii need to. pinky promise lol

thanks for input

BF and others thaks for pointers

ive went about this the wrong way, i wrongly assumed it would entice those a bit in the know to dig deeper, but its really done the reverse.

really appreciate the pointers BF and all, either tomorow when i have time i will edit advert or if pushed ill let it expire and start again.

seems i got it a bit wrong with tactics - ill learn from that though. cheers guys

Those pictures are rubbish, do you really want to sell it

The pictures look like your selling a £1500 car.

You should do a full write up on here with GOOD pictures, theres nothing stopping you taking 10-20 photo's.

Much better advert than where your started, and looks like your trying to sell it now, and should now be enough for anyone interested to make contact.. GLWTS.

Lot of car for the money, but then 9K gets allot of car, scoob or not the moment.

That said this has to be one of the cheapest ways to get to a 500bhp car.

you all know better than me, but maybe being a flipped inlet with spacers deigned for the job would make it pssible/plausible ?or still questionabe?

answers welcome

Not possible with spacers as the bolt pattern on the v3 heads is a straight line where as the bolt pattern on the manifold is staggered

If you really wanted to do it the below would it make it possible but would require a lot of work including shortening the manifold
