Hi everyone,

Engine spec list

STI v9 steel con rods

Why it's not finished:-

Suspected HG failure, haven't got time to strip the engine down to find out. 

Hot-idle is inconsistent,

No MOT.

 

Comes with the following spares:-

Spare, painted set of foglight covers. 

2-pot rear brake calipers, refurbed and repainted,

original sliding front calipers,

 

 

Drives well apart from the idle issue - comes up on boost well, really smooth. Chassis very tight with no noises.

Probably would make a load more on breaking the car, but not inclined to. Could be a great project form somebody.

 

Car is in Wantage, Oxfordshire, garaged. Would need flatbedding as it's SORN and not MOT'd. 

Hard to know what value to place on it, let's start at £1995.
