At least it’s getting done right. I know you wanted it to be a quick job/ drift missile, but it’s going to look great at the end of the day. Santa was early……. Nice box of goodies though.

Morning All. So I’ve updated the list and taken off all the sold parts. If anyone is interested in what’s left let me know. Plan to start moving these into the roof soon to get my garage floor back so would be a delay if anyone wants anything once they are up there. Many thanks, Pete

So another parcel due to go out today. Hopefully all buyers so far have been pleased with their purchases. All PM’s have been responded to so hope to hear back from those interested in some of the remaining parts. Anyone else please get in touch. Many thanks. Pete

Afternoon All. Couple of parcels being prepped today. Gearbox, 1st decat pipe, intake and air vents all provisionally sold. If anyone wants anything left let me know as plan to start shifting the remaining bits into the roof space so won’t be easy to get them down again to sell/post. Will give it a couple of weeks so let me know please folks. All the best, Pete

Sorry to see this mate. Great car and spec for someone and it’s been well looked after during your ownership with lots of love and care from SRD as well. You know you’re going to miss it if it does sell. Always happens trust me. Seen the car in person and it’s a good one so hopefully someone snaps it up at that price.

Hi mate. Let me have a look on Friday and I’ll get you a better photo. Leave it with me. Cheers.

No problem Phil. All yours mate. See you lunchtime on Friday to collect.

Hey All, Little bump and further final price reductions. Practically giving the rest of the parts away as need the space. Tiptronic gearbox had oil in as I found out the hard way after it leaked all over the garage floor whilst making room for the new Dart block. Need it gone or it will be scrapped as I’m bored of looking at it. Make me offers guys as need the rest gone ASAP. Cheers. Pete

Morning All. Auto gear surround now sold as well (thanks The Raven). I’ve dropped some of the prices so please have another look and let me know if you want anything. Need to clear the garage floor so any sensible offers are welcomed. If not I’ll have to try and store what’s left in the roof space which will probably mean it doesn’t see the light of day for years! lol. Hoping the buyers so far have been happy with their purchases, I’ve posted a couple of bits so that’s an option at an added cost if needed. Unfortunately the gearbox and turbo’s are a no go for postage as they weigh a tonne. PM or leave me a message here and I’ll get back to you. Have a good day one and all. Cheers. Pete

Hi mate. Good question. Not sure as I don’t have an auto one to compare it with. Pretty sure they only sell 2 types new so manual and auto, in which case I’d say this would fit yours. Happy to be corrected if I’m wrong.

Morning Folks. Plenty of parts still available. Need to make space so happy to take offers on these if you want to PM me. Gearbox and turbo’s need to go and need collection given the size/weight so drop me an offer. Worst I’ll do is say no thanks. Hope everyone has a good bank holiday weekend. Cheers. Pete

Replied. Many thanks.

Few bits gone already. Thanks to tayr and blythmrk for their purchases. Still plenty to go so please get in touch or PM me for quick responses. Need to get these sold and reclaim the garage so will listen to sensible offers if needed. I’ve tried to be fair with prices and like the fact I’m helping others complete or fix their cars so let me know if you want anything. Have a great day folks.

PM’d. Also think I’ve cracked photos so here goes.

Sorry guys having issues uploading photos unfortunately. If you can PM me or leave a message here I can try to send photos to you. Many thanks. Pete

Afternoon All, So I’m looking to sell on some bits I’ve accumulated after changing the car from tiptronic to manual and also from twin turbo to big single. Also dug out some bits from when the car was repainted as might help someone out if they need a seal etc. All prices are open to sensible offers and buyer needs to collect from Kent or arrange a courier at extra cost. I can probably post smaller bits at a cost but the larger stuff will need collecting. I can take extra photos if needed but hopefully these give you a good idea. All parts are from a late model TT Tiptronic VVTI model. Everything was working fine when removed so should still be fine. If you want to buy a few bits and collect then we can sort a discount as well. Let me know and it’s first come first served. Bank transfer preferred or cash on collection. Any questions let me know. Photos are shown further down the post. 1. VVTi set of 3 used coilpacks. All were working fine before changing when I went single/GTR coilpacks. reduced to £30obo 2. Set of OEM twin turbo’s including manifold. Blades are a bit bent according to Lee/SRD, but worked fine until removed. Apparently SRD see this quite often. I’d probably rebuild personally so priced accordingly. reduced to £100obo 3. SYVECS S7+ VVTI loom. I had SRD make me a new bespoke engine bay loom so don’t need this anymore. Apparently these are quite pricey new so grab a bargain. £200 4. OEM bonnet stay. £10 5. Titanium bonnet stay. reduced to £30 6. Tiptronic shifter with 8-ball style shift knob. reduced to £50obo 7. OEM rear view mirror. reduced to £20 8. OEM door sills (pair in good used condition). PROVISIONALLY SOLD 9. Chrome heater control button covers. New and never fitted. £10 10. OEM inner door handle surrounds. £20 11. Chrome battery stay. New/never fitted again a Rob Mitchell job. reduced to £20 12. OEM power steering reservoir used but complete and replaced with PHR to relocate for single setup. reduced to £20 13. OEM charcoal canister. reduced to £10 14. OEM engine bay battery tray. Relocated battery to boot hence not needed anymore. reduced to £20obo 15. OEM battery stay bar. £10 16. Used door window top outside trims. Fitted new ones when I had the car resprayed but these are fine and in good condition. Reduced to £40obo 17. OEM lower glovebox lid. reduced to £20 18. OEM centre console lid £20 19. OEM engine bay relay cover lids £30 larger one £20 smaller one. 20. Used door seals. Did new seals after the respray but these might help someone out of a bind. reduced to £30obo 21. Facelift used engine mounts. reduced to £20obo Thanks for looking and PM if you need anything. Cheers. Pete

Saw this. Ash is practically salivating! lol. Does look superb though mate. What’s the plan Brad? Are the guys cracking on with the build now? Have you decided on a turbo yet to compliment the new engine as know you were looking to sell your old one.

Nothing crazy. I’d like 1,000whp preferably on V-Power but will see how it goes. Won’t be pushing the capabilities of the block let’s put it that way. Look forward to seeing updates.

Nice! As you spotted on my build thread I’ve paid for my Dart block as well now. Won’t be building mine for a bit, but at least the block is ready when the time comes. Be keen to follow and see your progress mate. Keep the updates coming and look forward to seeing this when it’s all done.

Makes sense mate. I was going to say it’s near enough impossible to be a great drift car and still a road car if that makes sense. Can be one or the other or average at both, but for full drift missile you need to lose some weight and set it up for drifting.

Nice to see a new project build. What gearbox you planning to run? Still wanting a road car or pure drift machine? Best of luck with the build and keep the updates coming.

Hey Guys, Small update from me. Spoke to Lee at SRD last week and he mentioned there was a Dart block available and would I like to buy it ready for my engine build early next year. I had a bit of credit leftover from the single install as we decided the current clutch would cope for now and we will replace it when we do the engine install. I was still short and initially told Lee thanks but no thanks. His concern was we might get to the point where I have the funds for my engine build but there are no Dart blocks available and we’d have to wait. It played on my mind so managed to get the funds I needed in the form of a loan/help from my Folks (thank you Mum & Dad), so I got back in touch with Lee to say let’s do it. Unfortunately that particular block had sold but they can supply one in a month or so which is fine with me. Will be stored safely with the guys at SRD till early next year when the build can hopefully begin. Popped out at lunchtime on Friday as I was WFH to see Matt at MH Bodyworx to catch up and prep him for the engine bay paintwork I’ll need him to do when we do the engine build. He was happy to see the car and will fit me in when needed so that’s one more piece of the puzzle sorted. It’s funny how much you see and notice the tired bits of the bay once the twin turbo bits are removed and the single is installed. Just lets it down a bit so glad that will get sorted as well and we are doing body colour with some smoothing etc and delete work for any holes/bits no longer needed.
