drift_bear Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Sorry if this is in the wrong place, just wanting to see if there is much interest in parts if i decide to throw in the towel and stop the build. Going through some set backs just now and its starting to take its toll on me, so only reason i am thinking about this. I will list everything below along with 2 options if i should break or sell as an un-finished project. All opinions/advice are/is welcome, i have spoke to keron and done some research on prices, so i do have a price list if need be. **DO NOT PM ME REGARDING PARTS/PRICES! I AM ONLY TRYING TO GAUGE INTEREST** Option 1 Sell as an unfinished project, all it needs to be finished is the following :- Clutch Flywheel Fitting engine and box Rear seat delete needs finished Mapping Build the engine if need be (can supply all brand new parts) What would i price it as? Option 2 Break for parts :- Full Shell - rolling (inc suspension, glass, wheels, dash, carpet and looms) Front Bumper Rear Bumper OEM Side Skirts OEM Spats Doors Windscreen Rear screen Rear 1/4 windows Uk spec bonnet OEM facelift headlights (brand new) OEM facelift rear lights OEM facelift indicator and sidelights (brand new) OEM front wings (pre-facelift) Q45 90mm Throttle Body Asnu 1000cc Injectors Blitz dump valve (on intercooler hardpipe) Blitz LM FMIC Engine oil cooler kit Stainless fuse box cover Stainless radiator plate Chromed radiator clamps "2JZ No Shit" billet engine cover Clear cam cover Polished engine cover Polished cam gear cover HKS pulleys Polished wing tops Bosch 044 fuel pump Walbro 485 fuel pump (still in box) Top Feed Fuel Rail Kit (whifbitz) Fuel Flex Sensor Aeromotive FPR and lines Replica SRD Intake Manifold Kit (polished and brand new) SRD Intake Manifold Kit (crackle back) 4" HKS Ti 2.5" Downpipe and 3" midpipe^ Rota Grid Drift (with tyres) 19"x9.5J ET38 19"x10.5J ET20 Eibach lowering springs Toyota bilstein yellow shocks UK spec front brakes Uk spec rear brakes Goodridge braided bake lines Toucan Display Uprated speakers for the front SRD speaker brackets Recaro treadline seats Bride RO sub frames Toyota Celica steering wheel Pioneer mp3/ipod/bluetooth single din head unit Rear roll cage in gold Purple tanaka 4 point harnesses TT auto radiator TT auto altenator Front window mouldings (drivers and passangers) **Extra parts** Do-Luck spoiler (Carbon) Rocket bunny (Carbon) ARP Head stud kit ARP Main stud kit CP Pistons (86.5mm) King racing main bearing set King racing thrust washer set King racing conrod bearing set Carrilo H beam rods Brian Crowler Valve spring set (1mm oversized) Brian Crowler valve spring and retainer set Edited March 15, 2017 by drift_bear (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Bullitt Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 If things aren't going to plan can you afford to walk away, take time out and come back to it in a few weeks or months if needs be? Seems a shame to get this far just to give up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_bear Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Wtf Alex be such a shame not to finish it off mate Just getting fed up now dude with the constant set backs and other stuff coming up If things aren't going to plan can you afford to walk away, take time out and come back to it in a few weeks or months if needs be?

Big Supes Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Sorry to hear you're going through problems with the build, Alex. Just my 2p... finish it. You must be on the final stretch now. It'll be worth all the pain once it's done. If you can't finish it, I would sell off all the parts you don't need and return the car to BPU TT6. You could even go a step further and return it to an BPU auto. You'd make money on the V160 conversion, for sure. All of this being said, I can't stress enough to bite down hard and push the build over the finish line. Good luck mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Bullitt Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I know just annoyed and etc after today's problems Lemsip and a w*nk? That isn't an offer btw In all seriousness you have been working flat out on the car recently. You haven't said what problems you have come across today but you have progressed so far in such a short time, maybe you just need to take a break from the car for a week or two, recharge your batteries then have a think.

JasonR24 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Honestly mate I know how you feel, if it wasn't for my partner I'd have gotten rid a while ago. Really takes its toll when it seems everyone else's cars/projects go well but yours doesn't. I'm sending mine to SRD again and hopefully it'll be fine but even after I get it back I know I'll have this nagging feeling to leave ownership, that does go when I get behind the wheel though . honestly i think you'd kick yourself if you didn't finish it. So just hang in there and get it done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoGlE Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Don't break it! If you can afford to just leave it awhile and set yourself a date to kick back in and go that last stretch to finish it you should. Everybody gets totally fed up with their build at some point but once it's finished and you're driving down the road turning heads and having people show love for your effort, you'll know it was worth it.

fastcar Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 As said dude, just take a step back for a bit! We all hit those hard times in builds and in life! Take knee soldier rethink your strategy and then finish the build! You will thank yourself for it when it's all done. DONT GIVE UP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 You missed the preface option, leave the bastard thing alone and enjoy it! You loved that car when it was flex fuel and silver, should have left it alone. Now you're into the realms of breaking it if you want to get anywhere near the amount of cash you put into it :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 WTF, what problems are you having Alex? I felt like breaking mine quite a few times during the 4 year build, but you can get through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
