Well I'm missing drifting badly and I don't want to wreck this uber rare car by making it into a drifter. According to how many are left there are only 4 in the UK at the moment and there was only 30 in 2001 so its a really rare car and has been for a while:
MOT : October 2012
Tax : December 2012
History : Lots of it, old newspaper clippings from old ads, MOTs receipts etc. I am only the second owner from new
Mileage : 61000(genuine) Ziebarted from new.
Engine & Drivetrain:
Only just finished building this! its covered 300 miles since the rebuild.
- 2.0 chain driven 8v "astron" engine
- Custom newman cam grind
- Beehive performance valve springs from the US
- Ported, polished and heavily skimmed head 9.5:1 compression
- Cut back polished valves
- Decked block, new piston rings and bottom end shells
- Lightened & balanced conrods and crank(full rotating assembly)
- Lightened flywheel
- High quality 3 piece valeo clutch kit
- Electronic ignition
- 8mm silicone plug leads
- Balance shaft delete kit imported from Australia
- Yamaha ZX750 carburettors on custom made inlet manifold with matching bike fuel pump
- Custom made 4 branch exhaust manifold wrapped in titanium wrap mated to custom made single box 2.25" exhaust
- All setup and making great power
- 5 speed manual gearbox in great health just had oil changed
- Uprated engine mounts
- Electric fan controlled by thermostatic switch in top hose, no overheating on this old classic!
Wheels & Tyres:
- SSR Formula Mesh freshly refurbed and polished
- Rear 15x8.5 et-21 wrapped in good 5mm+ 195/45/15s
- Front 15x8 et-2 wrapped in brand new khumo 175/50/15s done 300 miles
Bodywork:
- In great condition for a 34 year old car got the odd scab here and there but its more character than ruining the look, no holes through and no rot!
- Ziebarted from new and still heavily covered underneath and engine bay which has preserved it greatly!
- Unfortunately the drivers side front window is perspex as the glass one was broken but it does not look out of place and works as normal. New one can be sourced from Australia.
- Awesome awesome bronze colour!
Interior:
- As it rolled out the factory and is beyond mint it is PERFECT!
It is an awesome awesome car which commands massive respect and huge amounts of attention. Even though its rare all parts can be sourced very very easily and cheaply from australian ebay along with a big following and fan support out there. To be fair I havent had any problem sourcing parts over here as it is an original UK car its not an import.
Located in March - Cambridgeshire PE15 - 07540765075(would prefer texts as working between 8-6:30 and get poor reception at home)
Looking for £4500ono which I think is cheap for such a rare car. I have spent over £2000 building the engine with lots of receipts to prove the wheels are worth £1500 on their own in this condition.
Would consider swaps for something I can skid. Cool e30? mk2 escort? px on an ae86? Offer me what you have as I'm into all sorts of interesting cars you never know!
