irfan_habib Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 How it pains to do this... but am considering selling the supe after only having it for about 6 months.... I bought the car from a member on the forum (spardz) in June 2005. I got banned from driving for 4 months at the end of November 2005. I've been holding off putting it up for sale, but unfortunately my pay review did not go as well as I anticipated and looks like I will not be able to afford the insurance when I get my license back and am planning on buying a property this year. Gutted as it is an awesome car as I am sure you all know, and I haven't driven anything that is as quick or as fun to drive. It was imported by JIC Ltd in 2003 and has only had one owner in the UK before me. It's a black J-Spec 95 Auto TT, when I bought it mileage was about 52,000. Current mileage is about 59,000. All tyres are Good year FS1's, and the rear ones have only done about 1,000 miles, so pretty much brand new. The car when I bought it had the following: Performance mods - UK Spec front and rear brakes HKS Iridium Plugs Motorsport Fuel pump TRL Fuel cut defender HKS SSQV BOV Blitz SUS power induction kit. Blitz Nur spec exhaust Blitz de-cat pipe Downpipe Blitz DSBC Boost Controller Stage III Hybrid turbos Front Decat pipe. Cosmetic - Lowered 30mm Clear side indicators Clear (Facelift) front indicators Veilside Skirts Veilside Nose Veilside rear bumber Greddy spoiler Door graphics - These have now been removed. 17" Khan Wheels Odometre changed to indiglo. Indiglo temp/air dials A-Pillar pod Blitz AC racing meter 60mm EGT Gauge - Indiglo Blitz AC racing meter 60mm Boost gauge. - Indiglo DLS 10" Sub DLS C-Series Amp Custom Box Sony 6 CD changer Sony Headunit with flip front Since I have bought it, I have done the following: - Bosch Wipers front and rear - Bonnet seal + retainer - Front brake discs and all pads. Have rear brake discs with me for when they will need changing. - Facelift rear lights inc bulbs and harnesses. Have old headlights which also have fog light conversion. - Passenger seat had a tear in it from previous owner and so this was repaired for £100. - Some work needed to be done on the engine at about 57,000 miles. This cost me about £1,600, new piston rings, head, seals... since then there has been a very noticeable change in performance, she is more responsive and pulls much better than before. The engine feels like it's almost new and should be solid for at least the next 100,000 miles. - TRD Radiator cap I have also purchased the following but not yet installed: HKS S Type Intercooler A'Pexi SAFC II Radiator hard pipe kit Vacuum hoses (blue) - These cost me in excess of £1,000. Depending on what I can get for the car will either sell with the car or separately. Pictures of the car are attached as it is now. Would appreciate input on what people reckon she would be worth?

raymanuk Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Dude sorry to hear this. I had a close look at this car when I was at the reading meet. Very nice car and done well too. Hope it all goes well for you irfan, Cheers, Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 This is a very nice car. I knew it when the previous owner Mark had it and i've had the pleasure of knowing Irfan. The majority of the work to the car was undertaken by Leon at JPS when in Marks possession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irfan_habib Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 Cheers for the comments guys! Not sure of the bhp and torque figures, was going to put her on a rolling road after I had installed the FMIC and SAFC II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra_Nish Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Sorry to see this Irfan mate. This car is very clean, the engine work has resulted in a very tight motor. Just blipping the throttle on idle you can feel the difference against most other cars, as he says it feels like a brand new engine. I would get it on a dyno mate as people will want to know what its pushing, I would estimate over 400bhp at the fly with ease in comparison to mine.
