I had never thought of that!.......makes sense now :crazy:

good luck with the sale Mick.

Personally I would go the enjoy it for a bit and let it sell itself route.....

.....the more sorting and testing you do the less "chance" a new buyer has to risk. Get the turbo issue sorted and tuned accordingly.......IMO

the smaller turbo works quite well for street actually. Ask STIDUB, makes the car very responsive, but yeh, the option is there toi go for the full 200kw(atw)

yeh, ok i guess - a few calls/pm's, but i've been lazy/busy to be honest. I was suppose to meet a guy 2 mondays ago who was quite keen, but just got too busy with other work and other commitments. Did take it for a spin yesterday though - still grinning. Partly tempted to keep it so im not trying to hard...:D

Alright, my mind is made up. Making my decision in light of 'the greater good'. Too much money sitting in the garage which could be used very wisely elsewhere. At this stage im stripping the whole car and will be keeping the shell and pan only for a rainy day. Its too good to sell for nothing. Unless someone offers me a good price for pan and shell, ill be keeping it.

EVERYTHING ELSE IS NOW FOR SALE - EVERY PART. Let me know what you want and make some offers. First in best dressed. Pricing will be less than what i paid, but not for nothing.

Please have patience in replies to pm's, as i assume there will be a few...

Off ya go!
