If your talking about this car:

Don't know the car myself, but if someone was looking for a well sorted 3R, you would be hard pressed to beat this one. All the major parts have been upgraded, my advice......be quick, bet it sells as its number plate reads.....

Deposit on it :-) Just thought i would ask, better late then never.....

I would say you have brought yourself a full-on grinning machine, just hope your face can take it

The only thing missing with the paperwork was a dyno plot, would have been nice to see what BHP etc it was making? Any ideas anyone with the spec?
Looking forward to the drive back to York on Thursday :-)

This car was a members car on here before the owner now.
It has variable vane turbos and was running around 450 bhp from memory.
Lots of heatshielding has been used at the rear and when it was for sale last time it looked really nice !

Hope you enjoy it !

Collected it Yesterday, Sort of enjoyed the drive back but the M1 was like a 65/70mph traffic queue :-( so a bit of a boring drive......
Only one problem on the way back, Ill put it on a seperate post aswell as this one.
First stop for fuel and there was a horrible burning smell of oil, A quick look and the only thing we could see was the oil level which was showing about 20mm above the max mark on the dip-stick (Just wondering if there is any reason to overfill)It was serviced by Jetstream around 500 ago.
Just had a look this Morning & it seems there was a small leak from the Turbo oil return hose, Loose clip on the Turbo end :-) So sorted i think.
