Time has come lads, after owning the car for almost 4 years soon now. The decision has been made and sadly, its final. iv toyed with selling the car over the course of this year.

a lot of you know me, and the car, and the various changes that have taken place during the time iv had the car.

a few of you know my situation at home too with my mum and that has been progressively changing too. taking up almost all of my time. i have not taken this car or my evo out for a drive for months. i dont do anything car related like cruises and meets now, nothing, lost all interest in these kind of tuner cars for now.

quite recently i have made a lot of changes to the exterior, taking away many of the carbon panels in favour of a stockish 99 spec look with feed arch combo. i intended to use it a lot more than i was, on the street, and not be such a big target to police etc with the race car look i had previously.

i would like to sell up, and im selling the evo too soon once the engine has been done, and id just like to have one fast car and one fast car only. im pretty set on a few cars, so part exchange is NOT an option, neither are swaps unless they are a Corvette C6, Dodge Viper GTS, VXR8, possible few porsches i like. this is something il sort out in my own time. im happy to carry on nipping about in my runabout ford puma as i have been doing for months! lol

the car...sexual white in colour

chassis has done 115k kilometres, so whats that?? 70-75k miles...?

its very clean and underside is real sweet


car has only been dynoed once and that was at 0.8 bar where it made 346bhp...at the wheels :)

few more upgrades and a changed map later and the car should be nearing 360-380bhp at wheels. i keep it on .8 bar and occasionally move to 1 bar. engine and turbo capable of much more with not much additions needed. it is a safe yet strong map, and for me, thats the way it stays.

The car is in clean condition, no dings or dents and no rust! All the panels on the car are brand new and the respray was only done summer 2008 ( used to be red ), the car has hardly been used in the time iv had it and begun the build, and it has not been used on track, so all the paint, fibreglass etc is in excellent condition. in addition to that, the steel doors and OEM bonnet that replaced the carbon ones have been refreshed and painted, and the 99 front end that replaced the odula bumper all been prepped and painted to a superb finish. this work took place october 2010.

regardless of the cars little use, i have still serviced the car with the best of oils/fluids/plugs/leads regularly with the last oil change, lead and plug change done around 2-300 miles ago.

The car has sailed through every MOT its had with me, only failing once for illegal headlights which was quickly sorted within a few days, valid until April 2011. Cheap tax, and 5 months left.

It sounds amazing and very loud and rough sounding as expected, and it is incredably loud when it comes on boost!! It is very tight, and the handling is very responsive.


the weather here has been diabolical the last few weeks and iv not had a chance to go outside, wash and polish and take fresh photos. will try and get some done this weekend!



Asking £7000

my intentions were to break this car if i was ever getting rid, as there is closer to 10k or more in it that way, but as said, dont have the time to even consider that
