It's got to go....

[Murray203ps]

Right guys it's come to the time where i've got to sell the car. It currently has an overheating issue but other than that it's good. It has 113,000 miles on the clock but an engine change at around 100,000 miles which had nearly 40,000 miles on it when i put it in. This is probably not a car that someone would want to have as thier primary car(i'm being honest)but it would make one hell of a track car once the cooling issue is sorted out. I just don't have the time anymore to be able to get it sorted. Here is the list of parts it's got on it.

Engine fitted with piper 270 cams.(just recently had camshaft seals done and belts)
Open cone inner wing filter.
Re-map.
Nitrous system.(800 quids worth)
Brand new Pro race 1.2 wheels and tyres.(750 quids worth)
Willwood 4 pot calipers with 310mm discs.(800 quids worth)
Avo coilovers.

That is just some of the parts that have gone on this car. It has taken a lot of my time and effort over the past 5 years and i'll be sorry to see it go.

If there is anyone who breaks cars for a living on here then this is probably a good candidate if you didn't want to sort out the coolant problem.

Don't know what sort of price i'm after. will see if antone is interested first.

[Murray203ps]

Oh i forgot to say.... you'll get the other 18" wheels as well. They are pro race 1.2 as well in black. Could do with a re-furb tbh but still worth a bit.:D

Is it 1.8 then? So many nice cars are coming up for sale at the mo!!

No it's the kv6.:D

[Jay-ZS+]

No it's the kv6.:D

Is the 203 with the NOS running then? Just been tempted by steves then this comes up

[Murray203ps]

When the coolants sorted it runs 213 bhp without the nos and 251bhp with.:cool2:

Any ideas what the coolant issue is ?

What's the inside like .... ? Exterior is awesome !

There doesnt appear to be anything in the header tank or in the oil. Have thought it may be the head gasket as the system seems to pressurise which causes the coolant to stop being pushed round through the radiator, hence the overheating. It's very strange. It has allowed me to drive at 70-80 mph sometimes then sometimes overheats at 40 mph. I don't think it's anything drastic, but the head gaskets where replaced about 3 months ago. It ran fine tho up till now. :closedeyes:

[Jay-ZS+]

Whats your idea on price pm me if you dont want to publish online ;)

[Murray203ps]

I'm not looking for much as i said. With all the bits of kit fitted to the car it's had a lot of money put into it. I would love it to go to someone on here and would love for someone to take the time to investigate the coolant problem and keep it running. Worth doing as with the nos on it's as quick as a m3.

I'm going to stick my neck out and say 1600 quid. I know that sounds a lot for a car that is not running right but in my opinion even if it does turn out to be a head gasket(which i don't think it is) it's worth it.

[Jay-ZS+]

Where abouts are you I could pop down this weekend

[Murray203ps]

Where abouts are you I could pop down this weekend
Just to let you know i have already had an offer to buy at the price of 1600 quid. Got PM'd almost straight away. I am in lulworth on the coast so not too far from you.

[Dan1971]

Too cheap .... You're giving it away.

[Murray203ps]

Sorry dan forgot to say. The interior is fine. Drivers right hand bolster is slightly worn on the stitching of the leather. Carpets are fine throughout as is headliner. All electrics work.

[Murray203ps]

Too cheap .... You're giving it away.

I know but i really do need to get something i can rely on a bit more. Really is a shame as i love the car. Maybe if someones really interested they'll raise the price a bit.

[Dan1971]

Mate seriously ...... You're at least a grand under what you should be getting with all the engine mods.

All someone needs is a donor ....... Not that I'm any kind of mechanic but bl00dy hell mate .......

Mrs C has just hit the roof when I showed her with a "I wouldn't be seen dead in that" (tempting though that it is) .... But come on .... Mine was only a few hundred quid less !

[Dan1971]

Got to be worth an auction listing on Ebay surely ...... Set the reserve at 1600 maybe if that's all you think it's worth.

[Murray203ps]

I know it's cheap but if it means that it goes to someone on here who will maintain it and keep it running i'd rather. Oh and your misses would love it. As does mine.:w00t:

Really would be a sorted track car if someone spent some time on it.

[stamford]

£1600, way too cheap, if only I could get my hands on the money! Sorry to see you selling it, we had some fun on track didn't we! :D

[Murray203ps]

Yeah we did Mick. It's just getting a little long in the tooth now so need something more reliable. Had some fantastic times in the old girl and will be sorry to see it go. I know the price is low but it needs to go and i havn't got time to hold onto it unfortunately.

[stamford]

I know what you mean, a real pity as it is worth so much more. A genuine bargin for someone if looking for a track car for sure. Sorting the engine is not enough to put anyone off at that price considering the whole package. It'll be gone in no time.

Another one leaves, let's hope it does stay on here.

[Ritchy]

for that price its worth it even for the parts to put on another 180, though thats not what youd do, surely cant be that hard to sort the cooling problem even if its a scrap engine put into it!

[Murray203ps]

Yeah if you've got the time and resources to do it. Just havn't in my life at the mo i'm afraid. Real shame. As you say just for the parts to swap it's worth it.:(

[Ritchy]

definatly, oh u must be gutted havin to get rid of it:( best of luck to u mate, hope to see it on the road as im sure u would too

[Murray203ps]

Absolutely. Would be a shame to see it disappear into the history books as have spent a lot of money keeping it on the road.

[peterzs]

Oh and your misses would love it. As does mine.:w00t:


Can still hear the screams now. :devil::devil::devil:

Sorry its got to go, all the best with the sale.

:smile2::smile2::smile2::smile2:

[Supercharged_Z]

[Dave MGT]

[Supercharged_Z]

Will give Dave a bit more of a chance to get in contact first geez. I know him and Jay are trying to come to some sort of agreement about the car so may take some time.

However i need to know fairly sharpish as i want it gone on Monday of next week so you never know.

Congrats James, glad it is staying on here! Just wish my timing was better! Don't worry Murray, it'll be looked after.

[peterzs]

Well done.

:smile1::smile1::smile1::smile1:

[Smokey]

Had the money for this myself but wanted one that was 100% straight off. Glad it will still be around!

[Maxxed_Ross]

glad to see it staying in the club, nice one!

[mattie007]

How the fook did I miss this!
Wanted this car from the moment you put the BTCC decals on.

[stamford]

You're not alone, I'm still waiting on an insurance pay out so would have had the money, sods law! Still, at least it had found a good home.
