Adam J Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Dont worry Herbie, people don't seem to be banging the door down to look at it! I'm amazed as I would buy it myself if I had the money... I guess there may be more interest now Pabs has sold his... :-) There is someone on in France wanting the car, but with the broken translations, I have no idea when they want to come look at it...

Dnk Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 No not at all lol I wouldnt insult Adam with how well he's looked after his car.I might be able to rustle up the money tho by the end of next week for this,fingers crossed nobody takes it in the mean time cant you put a deposit on it, if you can raise the extra cash in a couple of weeks then it would be daft not too if you really want the car that badly, if the seller agreed ofcourse just my 2p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam J Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 I have made a video of the car cold starting and idling, as there seems to be a belief that singles dont start and idle well . I brought it out of the garage on the morning and I made this video late afternoon. It also shows the craized spat and the cracked sill. Sorry for the poor quality, its my first video like this. I think it show just how well it runs though, I will try and put another one up of it on the road, just trying to find a nice day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam J Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 If anyone is interested, I may consider dropping the price further. Still waiting for the first person to come and look at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the same problem with mine, just could not get anyone out. Once I did it sold to the first guy, its just gettin em out that seems to be the issue. Good luck bud, if I had not already just bought an Aerotop TT GZ edition I would be looking at buying this I can tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 It's not the single's that have bad cold starts, but the stand alone ecu's that are combined to the singles are often the reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam J Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 It's not the single's that have bad cold starts, but the stand alone ecu's that are combined to the singles are often the reason Yeh, I think its the larger injectors with the ECU's that make cold starting a problem. I just thought it might help any potential buyers to see it starts and runs well. Went out for a drive in it at the weekend, I really had forgot how well this drives, unfortunately rain halted it stretching its legs fully! I have also been looking through the reciepts and have some more info, car was originally bought from JIC, all the single turbo conversion and mapping was done at Thor. Fitting of the rebuilt replacement engine was done at Interpro (big thanks to Jody for providing me with copies of the old reciepts!). Car still available at £8500. The reciepts for the work done on this car add up to much more than this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 The wheels that Gaz Walker is selling at Envy would suit this car perfectly. I thought someone would have had this by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikbiomed Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 The wheels that Gaz Walker is selling at Envy would suit this car perfectly. I thought someone would have had this by now I think the bigger buck cars are not selling so well at the moment, seems that it has to be an absolute steel before anyone will come up with the cash. I have offered this guy a cheaper car as a PX and some serious cash ontop but its not the way he wants to go. Again those bargains are what people are looking for too and maybe even waiting for, I know I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADD Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Im so tempted with this its unreal!! over 570bhp on stock box? i didnt think they could handle that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam J Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 Im so tempted with this its unreal!! over 570bhp on stock box? i didnt think they could handle that! That figure is flywheel power, I had a word with Jody the other day and he mentioned the power on it was capped as this is all the box would take... Now once it has a 6 speed in it... Thats a different story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it doesn't have a AFR fitted, just a EGT. Its got just short of 80k, obviously the recon engine is alot lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
