What a BEAUTIFUL CAR!

GLWS bud. People can see this is a genuine car, and personally, from a collectors perspective, better it left unregistered and let someone else be the owner!

If you're looking to buy one, then this looks ideal.

Very nice!

Thanks mate, surprised with the lack of interest tbh. Not much movement on the for sale section at all.

Year: 1988
Model:Ep71 
Tax:0
MOT:unregistered
Mileage: 160km

 

Description: Sooooo, found out recently I’m going to be a father (Another man down).

So I’m for sure going to need to free up some cash. And having two of these isn’t going to be an option.

I imported this car from Japan about a year and a half ago with the intention of using it on track. But never got round to it, and to be honest it’s too rare and too good for it.

Again the car is unregistered yet, so is still basically as a fresh import. All paperwork and import documents are present. And it’s not a big deal to register it with Dvla, meaning you will be first owner on paper.

I feel I have taken this into account with the price.

By the time I had paid import duties etc, it cost around £5500.

Since then I had a full 2.5 Ss system made for it £700

Bc coilovers only done few hundred miles £500

Exedy 3 puk Padle clutch £350

ct12 hybrid turbo £200

hdmi fmic various hoses £200

rrfpr £70

All the original parts are present as well incase buyer wanted to return to original.

The underside of the car is as you would expect from a recent unused import and is as new. 

Bodywork is again very good for a car 30 years old, but not perfect obviously. 

Interior is very good seats have to rips or wear. 

Car has very very rare roof mounted air purifier as well as factory turbo timer.

Bad points: Again the cars 30 years old.

Needs steering rack gator as it has a tear.

Gives quick puff of smoke only on start up when it’s not ran for a while. I would imagine valve stem oil seals being original will be the fault. Car does not use oil however. 

All in all this is a good example of a rare variant and I’ll be sad to see it go. 

Price:£6000 ono 

Contact:07921437675

The only other one of these for sale at the moment in 8k. So I really do think this is fairly priced. If it turns out that it not being registered puts potential buyers off, then I’ll maybe do it myself if I get the time. But I’d rather it just went to a good home asap. 

Thanks for reading, Ian 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So are they boxing only or wressling to if there boxing only Gregor will loose I think

Straight up boxing mate. Mma rules it would be over in under a minute 👍

I'm a fighter myself. Done years of boxing and kickboxing and now practice Muay Thai. I hate Mayweather and I'm a fan of Connor. However, boxing is a completely different art. First you need to understand the differences in movement. Yes Conor has unorthodox striking angles, but in mma boxing movement does not feature at all. You would never dream of bobbing under or slipping low when there is a risk of a knee getting fucked right into you. And there in lies the problem. It's Mayweather world, against a fighter who for years has trained to completely ignore boxing movement. If you look at Conor's striking, he completely over extends, it works for him because of his freakish arm length and his opponent is not in a boxing stance. But someone with Maywethers pedigree will be like a ghost. Obviously he has a punchers chance, but 40 odd better boxers have tried before and failed 👍

32 had my first at 21

Its not the most fun job If your dropping the tank out why not check out the wreckers and cut a section of floor that sits above the pump. Then cut a say 200mm dia hole in your original floor and make a 250mm dia patch from the donor floor. Few rivnuts and fixings and you wont ever have to remove the tank again.

Fuck Stu really? Thought it would be fairly simple 🙄☹️.

That's not a bad shout though! Could maybe even fab a patch from stainless

Also to add as I was reading some other threads there, I have been having issues with heaters blowing warm intermittently on cold setting. Could a thermostat problem be causing the car to over fuel?

So I'm having issues when starting the car, if left for a while it takes forever to crank to get started, however if you keep cranking the ignition on and of it will catch after a couple. Then it will start no problem after that. However the length you need to crank it increases on the length of time it's turned off. That's the first problem! Second problem is I bought a 255 fuel pump and was going to replace it today. However when I removed the back seat and cover plate, there only the sender unit in the tank for the fuel gauge. There is however two wires running off to the right. Would this mean I will need to drop the tank right out to gain access to it?

Thanks Ian

I'll take this mate pm me your PayPal

Are they turbo s dash clocks or si clocks without boost light? I've same set and having issues with wiring

Mate I completely forgot you asked me for a pic of loom. You still needing it?

Rrfpr is set at 3bar vacume off. Actuator at 0.95. That could be a good shout though. I need to get it on a wide band anyway

Why what have you herd about them?

Mate they have been consintantly the dodgiest import sales place for an eternity. I was there once and seen a Ferrare 360 with a back quarter full of filler and it looked like it had been sprayed with rattle cans

So I have fitted the new hybrid turbo on the 71, along with the rrfpr. It's been running fine for a week. However now when you go to start it, you need to crank it for over ten seconds, then when it starts it does so slowly as if being starved of fuel. I have checked all the connections on fuel lines are tight. Could this be a sign of the fuel pump on the way out?

Cheers

Ian

Is the pedal at the floor? Master cylinder would stop you getting into all gears regardless I would think mate as there's no hydronic pressure to release the clutch

Master cylinder has just shit itself on the 71. Looks the same to me but can anyone confirm.

Cheers

Ian

Looking at it now though it might have a longer snub does it?

did you check the clutch slave cylinder to see if its leaking?

how does the fluid look in the master cylinder? ---clear or dirty/black?

I changed the slave mate as it was leaking anyway mate. The oil in the reservoir looks clear.

So before I took the 71 off the road to change the turbo, the clutch started slipping. Then a few days later I lost the pedal. The pedal biting point in nearly at the floor. I have an exedy 3 puk coming this week, however I'm concerned it might be the master cylinder as well? Although this would seem pretty coincidental with the clutch slipping. Any thoughts as to what could be going on?

Cheers

Ian

I inderstand none of this ☹️

If I had kept every Vauxhall nova I had ever owned, I could retire tomorrow

The world has officially went mad

Looking good mate, bit of savy and I reckon you could fit those gauges in the top din 👍😜

Aa

Cool thanks, guess the strainer is getting it in the morning lol 👍

Just drop a filter on. The gains between the two or negligible.

Nothing to do with gains mate, it's lack of space on the setup to come off the turbo with pipework

Mesh.

What?

Does anyone have any turbo mesh, or know what gauge is correct? I ordered some but it's too high gauge.

Thanks

Ian
