Why not sell the Sport & buy a Turbo ?

dj219957

As above - complete waste of time IMO. Must be a nightmare to inusre properly.

mrfuzzyfelts

wouldnt bother! sell it and buy another!

Will be cheaper and a proper turbo!

It will be more to insure than a turbo aswell as it will be classes as a modified car!

i have checked different things out and i think i am happy that it can be done properly.

i have looked at freds where the conversion hasnt gone well and those that have. if the mechanic has the skill then i dont see what the problem is.

if i had brought a 2001 cashmere yello turbo 2 years ago it would have cost me 10k more than what it did,this way makes much more sense.
i have found someone who can do the conversion for me

simo

Sara, would an other option be to sell yours as it is, buy a turbo that you like & get it re-sprayed cashmere yellow? Could work out a fair bit cheaper imho.

no, that would turn out a lot more expensive imo. it will be between 1 and 2000 for a respray, plus the turbo would be a lot older than my car, mine is only 4 years old. and i will only be without my car for a max of 2 weeks.

all i have to do is sit back and do nothing

& how long will you be without it while they swap the engine, transmition, brakes etc etc etc ?

simo

But the parts you are after will prob be older than the car??? You could always stick with the colour you by the turbo in (not a good suggestion for you SS I know ) and the insurance will be easier to get I recon. Have you asked ref your car & insuring it when converted?

Only trying to help,

Simon

mrfuzzyfelts

maybe the insurance wont every know and thats the plan to make it cheaper! :P

iTrader: (1)

i will be without the car for 2 weeks max!!

the car i use for the parts will hopefully be an '01

as for the insurance...

someone else on her said they did a conversion and the insurance came under a kit car insurance and was cheeper than if they had bought a turbo and insurance

LUCKO

you say 'donate'

how are you paying then?

best of luck, do what you want, it's your car afterall!

scoobydunk69

does sound a strange way of going about to me,but hey its your car and time,do what you like!
have got a few bits kicking about,but you will have to collect?
pm me if interested??

I'll donate a whole 93 impreza turbo for £2800 if the person doesn't come up with the £3400 he bought it of ebay today

tath

Got some standard headers somewhere possibly, got a prop, got some 2pots and discs, got various bits of anti roll bars, got an STI exhaust.

In return i demand postage and some gin

Dave uk blue mica

i honestly wouldn't bother, its just not worth doing, insuring it will always be a problem and even selling it once its done, just sell it and buy a turbo

TEXAS PETE

Surely the number one rule of modifying a car is, don’t try and make something you can get of the shelf…

Your asking people to donate all the parts to you? So are you planning on just paying the labour? You will never get all the parts for free…. Bats-Wrx wants £2800 for a MY93 (nothing wrong with that) you want all your parts to be sourced from a MY01.. for free? How much do you think a re-spray will cost you?

sarasquares

iTrader: (1)

firstly the respray...i dont need a respray just because i am converting from a sport to a turbo. but yes, i will get a respray at a later date because i want to

as for donating parts it is a tongue in cheek request asking for spares that people might have that i need that they dont mind getting rid of, ive given bits and pieces away

i am trying to source an 00-01 model that i can buy for the bulk of the parts, the rest i will buy, beg and borrow, of course i am going to pay for the labour. i am having it done properly and that costs money

i dont want a different car...this will be the one i drive with a turbo


hokey kokey

ill give you my 5 speed box with dccd if someone wants to give me a 6 speed with dccd?

thasts a deal

we could start a swap shop

Jamesemt

Admittedly I know nothing about sports, but wouldn't a turbo conversion to your existing engine be cheaper and easier?

Do not, under any circumstances try and get a spray job for under £4k as it will be naff...

I admire your courage, but bank on more than two weeks as the unexpected WILL happen. I'd be more tempted to get something written off that you can hear running - at least you know everything's there!!

I changed the engine in my 205 GTi (1.9 8v to 1.9 16v) and the whole process took me 18 months

scoobydunk69

hello sara,
got you mail,im enjoying reading your threads its better than telly!
will see what ive got in the workshop tomorrow and get back to you with a list,not sure you will get a good engine with all the bits for free but its worth a try! there is NO chance of anybody giving away a set of 4 pot brakes though!!some people would sell there mother for less!!
cheers

ahhh thanks

if i get too many 4 pots then they are yours
thanks for helping out, much appreciated

i am realistic in that i know i cannot find all the parts i need by asking for them to be donated, but i thought , what the hell, if someone has got something that they dont need they might be grateful to give it to a good home



i wonder if anyone has got a spare engine kicking about
