Unfortunately the time has come to part with my R. Its been my pride and joy for so many years

Open to sensible offers

L reg 93 Jap import, heavily modified.

Its currently not running as a result of an incident in the dark trying to jump start her, unfortunately battery terminals were crossed and the Apexi FC does not appear to respond. I haven't investigated this any further due to lack of time with two young children. It might be a simple fix for Apexi, I don't know. I had thought about going down the FuelTech route and removing the AFM.

Quaife has been well looked after with periodic rebuilds/checks when the engine has been out.

Stacks and stacks of receipts

Last map reached 438bhp

I also have a spare engine (head has been taken apart for shims) and broken gearbox (3rd split). Also an MSD blaster kit

Loads of spares which I'll have to list separately

I don't mind selling the spares separately but would rather sell the car as is, I don't have the time to break it unfortunately and could do with the space in the garage.

This car has been a passion of mine for years. Primarily focussed on everything but aesthetics which were planned to be one of the last jobs but unfortunately its time to sell up.
Anyone who has the time to sort the ECU and aesthetics will be very happy with this car, I'll miss this rocket ship...

Cheers,
Jon

Thanks Jon,
As much as I love this fire spitting monster, a camper van appears to be more suited to family life at the moment. I'm officially old
