aaddzz123 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) Year:1990Model:Mk1 GT Turbo snow edition.Tax:Rendered useless by the time sale clears due to new laws.MOT:March I think. Will double check.Mileage:85kDescription:Firstly this car will not be ready for another month or so. I know it can take time to sell a car hence the advert in advance.I bought this mk1 from a member on the forum earlier in the year and have slowly brought it back up to standard. Since owning I have resprayed the whole car in original 040 white, chsnged the turbo set up to a td04 boosting 0.8 bar with approximately 200bhp. Along with that I fitted a front mount behind the front bumper without cutting it, I've also run the pipes as short as possible for it to be more efficient. I've fitted a SARD fuel pressure regulator which has a gauge and is set to 3 bar of pressure which is said commonly to be perfect for .8 on td04. I've also fitted a 5zigen pro racer exhaust which sounds raw and unique. I've lowered it on Kyb shocks and rsr springs. The car comes with some optional extras such as wind deflectors, illumination ignition barrel and a full set of carpets in mint condition. There is also the alpine optional speakers on the parcel shelf which are in working order. The interior in general is really tidy and original bar the steering wheel which is from a mk3 gt. I've also changed the cam belt as well as fix numerous other problems since owning this now nice example of a mk1. All the underside and behind panels is immaculate with no rust.There is so much more to list which I will write out clearer when I'm at a desktop. However before the car is sold I will be changing the clutch as it slips a little and I will also be painting the engine bay to look as brand new. I will also be changing the tyres so that they are legal as a few have just passed the limit. I will also be flattening and polishing the whole car as I have not done this yet since painting it. I also have mk1 rear lights to put back on the car and I am also currently refurbishing the glow panel to look new again. The genuine reason for selling is I've lost interest and want to move onto a different car.Price:The price when finished will be listed at £3,800 although I am open to offers so don't be shy to negotiate with me, I'm very reasonable. I do already have numerous people interested so if it does come to it, the highest bidder will get the car. I may be interested in px however I think for now I'm looking for a cheap £200 knock about so don't come at me with silly requests expecting money your way.Pictures:Contact Details:Pm me. Located in Nottingham and still in daily use. Edited November 9, 2014 by aaddzz123 Link to post Share on other sites

aaddzz123 Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 WAAAAAT .. why you sellin up so soon manJust lost interest matey. I'm comparing it to the mk3 I used to have which was stripped out and aggressive in every way with how it drove, and that's what I missed and the reason I bought this, but I can't bring myself to ruin it by stripping the interior and welding a cage in, cutting the doors apart to be light weight and then generally being hard on it all the time. I feel someone else should take it and enjoy it for what it is, an old original soon to be classic with a few subtle but essential mods.£3,800!!!! Bloody hell thats expensive.....Only kidding, looks bice mate glwtsI had a feeling you might comment. I'm expecting Daniel g to pop up too lol. I'm willing to negotiate and bump the price down if I need to. I'd be a cunt to bump it up though . Once it's finished to the standard that I intend I feel it will be worth every penny. Just await the abuse your get when some people see this was heading in a great direction ashame your selling JamesI'm expecting some abuse. I feel I've turned the car from a sorry state to a high standard for someone to make their own. With the stuff I wanted to do I think it would ruin it as a mk1. I think it should be kept tidy and original with subtle changes. Up to the next owner what they decide to do but I couldn't bring myself to be ruthless with it...I do have another reason for selling up. A reason I've been keeping to myself and a few close friends for quite some time. I was going to reveal it in a video when the time was right but I've lost the motivation with video at the moment and cba with all the abuse ill get from the veterans on the forum, so here's the reason lol.I never sold my old gt. I've done so much to it over the past 6 months or so but still going to keep the details to myself... Selling the mk1 is to buy a shit run around and possibly finish MURX.

morgey Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 American. Car has to be over 25 years old to be allowed in (certain states?). If its not it wont make it past the docks. Thats why the r32 gtr's were big news the begining of the year. Link to post Share on other sites

Calum122 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I think you're doing the right thing if it's any consolation. It looks like a gorgeous motor and would be a shame to strip it out. But even with the interior in and what not, they're still fast cars glws Link to post Share on other sites
