NightSpirit Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Importing this from Yahoo, the plan is ( I hope ) to use it as a donor for the track ep. Taking the engine, gearbox, clutch, fuelpump, turbo, power fc, gauges etc. The car will be sold on as stock afterwards and the rest of the parts put up for sale...will know more as time progresses.Some pics (some of you may have seen it on Yahoo).

NightSpirit Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 Why didn't you? if I may ask...I was the only bidder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 because my starlet is faster. and harry has 2 cars im off to the states soon for 6 months, and tbh if i wasnt going i probably would have bought it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightSpirit Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 hehe,Well we now have 3 EP's...including this one. There've been a few modified cars going through recently but they all go for too much money, nearly bought a different one for a friend of mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glanza_Ragger Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Noiceee turbo.Should be a bit of a beast.Youre putting that engine into youre project ep mate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightSpirit Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 Noiceee turbo.Should be a bit of a beast.Youre putting that engine into youre project ep mate?Yup that's the plan! I'm off to TDI tomorrow to get the car corner weighed and setup so I'll update when I get back (if it's good obviously) lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightSpirit Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 Just back from TDI They couldn't do a vast ammount as the rear isn't adjustable and the front just needed a toe-in adjustment. Good news is the car weighs 811kg fully wet, so even stock that's a power to weight of 166bhp per tonne! just think that if the 300hp engine is dropped in there, that'll rocket to 375 per tonne, zonda bashing anyone lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Sounds pretty spectacular mate!! Looking forward to it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SiCaln Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 if your looking not to use the exhaust im interested sir Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightSpirit Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 TDI at Thurrock (south) nice chaps....and reasonably priced I thought.Si, the N1 is for sale yes, although I'd need a stock exhaust to replace it with? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ecksjay Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 yeah we almost did buy it, got it priced up etc, was coming in at about 2.5k landed, so i was VERY tempted.i have two cars atm tho so it wouldnt be justifiable, plus, i couldnt see it feasable to use on the roads (mine struggles with grip on the ct9, let alone a td05). plus i was dubious as to the mods/condition of the engine, the kit etc has been on there a while, plus, i 'think' its stock pistons, not forgies (there's no mentioning of forgies in the translation).would be a lovely sleeper though (although, i'd love an ae86, which can be had for the same money !).good luck with it mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightSpirit Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 good evening grandson 2.5k landed hey? at 180k? you should have asked me lol!Yup, you're right, the pistons are stock, no forgies, metal gasket and that's all he said on it. We'll see what it's like and get it tested when it drops Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nick_p Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Nice car dude with some cool bits on it too. good luck with your track car project Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ecksjay Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 that was from only one importer mate, who do you use? (pm me if you'd like).i haven't asked my cousin yet, he would prob be able to get it in cost if i got him on the case, just effort ;/also, that was for the BIN price of 350k, i didnt know what it sold for as i never checked back (expected it to go for the BIN price tho, so good deal).at 180k it would've been around £1800 after recalculating that. bargain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightSpirit Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 It didn't fetch the BIN price...A lot of people get put off by the fact it's a full car I think, if it had been the parts seperately it'd have fetched a fair bit more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ecksjay Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 apparently not, but as i said, i didnt check back on the auction.if it was forged i would have probably gone for it, and chucked the engine in the glanza, was a bit dubious otherwise.we'll see how it goes. me and dave fancy something for the track (turbo'd integra or something, or an ae86) so i'll have to keep my eye on there.as i said mate, give me a pm with who you use if you can, that would be much appreciated.cheersHarrison Quote Link to post Share on other sites
