Extra Info:

OK, so here we have my 275hp TD04L Glanza, fully forged and balanced with a lot of modifications. I think I could make close to £6,000 with the right buyers if I split this car, so I will not take any stupid offers.

OK, so the bad bits with the car.

I would fully recommend that anyone interesting in this vehicle comes to view the car. I have nothing to hide, but want to ensure any interested buyers know exactly what they are potentially buying. Some of the aspects of the car that annoy me or I see as wrong will be minor in some peoples eyes, but I want to get everything out there!

So, a list of things which currently get on my balls, which I don't want to put any more time and money into correcting.

-Rear bumper is melted from the exhaust tip. Nothing major, can get pictures.

-Front bumper has a random cut in it where a bigger FMIC was to be fitted. The mechanic in question simply made a curved cut in the bumper without clearing with me. I do have a new 99 spec bumper thou.

-The Autofixed exhaust bangs, but I think this is simply because the car is too low on the D2's, so probabaly could just be raised to sort that out.

-The drivers side coilover sometimes bottoms out on large pot holes. Again, can easily be sorted by raising the car and adjusting the rates

-Car has no stereo

-Car has no rear seats or interior. I have all of it in the attic thou, but I cut the rear seat belts out.

-The current rocker cover is leaking oil from the A/N weld fittings. Welds are shit and oil leaks through a bit. Got a replacement standard rocker cover anyway.

-I currently have a starting issue. Car will start fine some days, over days I have to give it some gas or bump it. I found a spark coming from a poor earthing thou, so going to look at this today, may be the cause of the problem.

-Paint work is OK for its age, except for some little dings on the roof which were there when I bought the car.

I think that is about it. I want to be 100% honest with anything that a buyer maybe concerned about, as obviously this is bought as seen with no comebacks.

This would be perfect for someone who has the time, space and knowledge to get it back up to scratch.

Please see my car thread and feel free to ask any questions, you will get a 100% honest answer. Any issues I have had will be in that thread and you can search the forum under my user name also.

Please let me know if you need pictures of the area's I have mentioned or anything else.

OK, now on to the modifications....

to be fair thats a really good price, considering what it's got and all that, you could go out and buy a stock one and then add all that for anywhere close to that 6k.

good luck witht he sale gee, if mine hadnt gone massively overbudget i would have been interested in a few bit's off yours :(

Done.

Don't really understand the gauging interest thing :p Good luck with the sale Gee.

Well if people are interested they can come and look at it. Few things would need to be sorted in relation to when car is to be released, sorting insurance etc..so gauging interest first :p

Haha!

The amount of PM's I am getting about stripping it.

Keep your eyes peeled on the parts for sale section guys. If it is to be broke it will be within the next few weeks hopefully. Need to buy the replacement car first.

I wouldnt sell it, all the negative parts you listed are just minor niggles. Would be a shame to sell it after all the hard work on it no?

BUT

If you do strip it, I fancy quite a few parts :D haha

gee your better off stripping it unfortuantly.. nobody wants to pay for a decent modded starbo at the moment.. i tried selling mine but not alot of interest, so im going ep82 again now and converting everything from the 91 into that,and then selling the 91 as stock.. as theres no way i would strip it :eek: too much time and money gone into it.

its a shame though as it looks like a well put together car mate :(

Probably EK9.

Started thinking about S2000 again, but would be a nightmare in the winter for a daily and I dont have space for another run around.

Plenty of time for RWD sports cars in the future.

Two sweet looking cars there mate.

I'll probably be going for a face lift model.

I know it may only be a 98/99 plate, but like you say, the build quality and interior etc is leagues ahead and this is something I'm looking for.

Just need to start again with something new.
