Hello All,
After 10 years of building my car the time has come to find her a new home.
Bought in 2005 as the first UK owner I’ve spent many years (and scary amounts of money!) to get it to where it is now. It’s a 1994 M-reg.
The spec hopefully speaks for itself, which has gone through quite a few iterations.
As I work abroad, I’ve only been able to drive the car a couple of times a year, so the mileage on the engine and most of the modified parts has been pretty low. The cage, seats and coilovers were the last few things on the car which have barely seen 1000 miles. The engine around 5000 miles, which is a real peach and has been faultless. The Quaife was re-built around 2000 miles ago with a new clutch too.
Whilst the engine was built with the usual 400bhp in mind, I never got to actually fit a different turbo – it’s still running the same stock turbo I had when I bought it…!
The cage totally transformed the way the car handles, can’t say enough about how different it drives. The cage is the full T45 multipoint weld-in from Custom Cages, with triangulation through to the front strut towers and I also had them add a-pillar double bars. It’s MSA/FIA certified (including the additional a-pillar bars).
The BRIDE seats are on the BRIDE GTi-R subframe rails, which adjust fore and aft.
Over the years the usual rust spots have been sorted, rear arches, passenger footwells, lower sills, and was also re-sprayed in full. It’s always been MoT’d and insured.
I’m looking for £6,950. Lots of other things to mention, but here’s the spec. If you’re interested or have any questions please drop me a pm.
