Jakemb96 Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Year: 1999Model: Glanza VTax: N/AMOT: April 2017Mileage: N/A Description:Right I shall start with the bad so everyone can decide to read on if you're interested. The car sadly gave up the ghost when its bottom end failed 2 weeks ago, so it will need a new engine which is around £400. But once this is done it's back to it's former glory and to the gem it really is. As with most cars of this age there is some rust on the boot lid, no bigger than a couple of £2 coins. NOW FOR THE GOOD (ALOT OF IT) Engine:WEPR top mount ram style m/s manifoldWEPR Hybrid TD04L turbo (good for 300bhp) JUST HAD REBUILT LESS THAN 300 MILES AGO RECEIPT TO PROVE!Tial 38mm external wastegateWEPR Screamer pipeWEPR 2.5" downpipeWEPR front mount intercooler with pipingRW-Developments 2.5" custom full stainless exhaust systemRW-Developments Race spec rocker cover (polished)RW-Developments oil catch can with braided linesMagnecor 8.5mm H.T leadsHKS spark plugs (bloody expensive)A/C removedBrand New Civic Half RadBlitz Super Sequential BOV 1.5 months oldApexi AVCR boost controller (High and low boost settings)GReddy E-Manage Blue piggyback ECU - Supplied and mapped by Tuning DevelopmentsTuning Developments 255lph fuel pumpSpec six puk paddle clutchTuning Developments half size radTuning Developments radiator hosesJ.D Tuning cooling panelOEM front strut brace Handling:BC Racing CoiloversCusco carbon rear strut braceWhiteline Front ARBWhiteline adjustable RARBWhiteline Drop linksStandard discs and pads all round Interior:2 Bucket seats in the frontImmaculate rear interior with full carpet and headlining to go with the car.

Please don't be put off by the engine issue as with ease it can be up and running again. But I need it gone as I can't afford to put any more money into as my daughter is arriving in a few weeks so a family car is a must. OPEN TO OFFERS!

HOK Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Km's or millage might help mate as you've not listed it?
Matt1878 Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Steves old V lovely car this. Shame about the bottom end
Starlet__SR Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Alot of money for what is in effect a non runner.
Jakemb96 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Posted August 4, 2016 Km's or millage might help mate as you've not listed it? It was still in KM but some of the block has gone so I didn't display milage as the engine isn't repairable. Steves old V lovely car this. Shame about the bottom end I know it's heartbreaking because it was my dream car
Jakemb96 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Posted August 4, 2016 Alot of money for what is in effect a non runner. Not really considering with a new engine it's 5k car, like I said £400 for a new engine and it's good to go. Really don't want to break the car as all the effort Steve put into it.

Really don't want to break the car as all the effort Steve put into it.Maybe so. But its gonna take more than £400 to find a healthy 4EFTE and have it fitted. If it's only £400. Why not do that and ask the full £5k?

Why not do that and ask the full £5k? As much as I'd love to I have no money left to put into it, just moving into a flat and with a baby weeks away all my money needs to be elsewhere
Starlet__SR Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 As much as I'd love to I have no money left to put into it, just moving into a flat and with a baby weeks away all my money needs to be elsewhere Talk about bad timing lol.
HOK Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Still list the km as people want to know what the chassis/shell has covered?
Jakemb96 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Posted August 4, 2016 Still list the km as people want to know what the chassis/shell has covered? Of course forgot about that, it's just under 150,000 KM.
Gainzy Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Let me try whatever your smoking mate lol I would break it if I was you especially with your circumstance's and bottom end, £400 for a healthy engine will be very lucky!
Jakemb96 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Posted August 4, 2016 Let me try whatever your smoking mate lol I would break it if I was you especially with your circumstance's and bottom end, £400 for a healthy engine will be very lucky! I wish haha. I really don't have the time to break mate with moving and getting the final things ready over the next couple of weeks is manic. I'd like someone to take it as it is so it's just ready for them to put some TLC into it and it's just back up and running again.
Jakemb96 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Posted August 4, 2016 Talk about bad timing lol. Yep just after I bought a full interior 1 week before so I could try and get my daughter in and then all hell breaks loose haha.
HOK Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Well if you do brake bud I'll take all your RW-Developments stuff, so your first customer is here
Jakemb96 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Posted August 4, 2016 Well if you do brake bud I'll take all your RW-Developments stuff, so your first customer is here Okay buddy thank you! Good to know the option is there
steve1093 Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Please don't break this I put too much into this! Shame about the bottom end though man.
Jakemb96 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Posted August 4, 2016 Please don't break this I put too much into this! Shame about the bottom end though man. I really really don't want to man, why I'm trying to sell it whole as it is as it'd kill me inside to strip it for parts
Starlet__SR Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 I'd be tempted to strip all the mods and return it to standard. You'll earn some money back and have a working car.
Jakemb96 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Posted August 4, 2016 I'd be tempted to strip all the mods and return it to standard. You'll earn some money back and have a working car. Not a bad idea either.
Starlet__SR Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Not a bad idea either.Sell most of the big mods and return it to a somewhat standard state. Use the money to repair it and it's still gonna be worth a fair amount. That way the car lives to see another day.
