Car Description
Car History
Very reluctant EOI for my pride and joy. I purchased this car in Sep 2011 with the aim to get it back on the road and looking like a show car. It was previously owned by a Club Member but had been neglected for a while due to a dodgy auto box. I simply dont have the time and/or money and even the expertise to get the car fully ready and the car gets used so little these days, I'd rather it go to someone who can do the car justice. And with an impending house purchase, every spare penny I have is being squierrelled toward that, meaning the car will just get left to the wayside. Get a super rare combination of specifications with the car in Palma Red, with Thurston Grey exterior trims, and contrasting beige leather interior with moon roof! The rear seats are the UK specification ones with the 3x3 belts and 3 headrests, so perfect for those looking to fit car seats etc.
Price is a little vague, but dependant on whether the Audi Recaros and vented bonnet is required. Possibly even higher that the current market price for a PFL VR4, but I believe the specifications on this particular car makes it a bargain.
In my ownership, its had a manual conversion carried out, FULL Amsoil service about 2000 miles ago, AYC pump/switch replaced, interior replaced with my old beige leather, remapped 7202 ECU (by Eurospec), Momo steering wheel, Evo 7 Enkies with Toyo Proxes fitted.
Other features includes: goodies such as lowered GAB coilovers all round, full 3" exhaust with custom downpipes and Fujitsubo Super Legalis R back section. Carbon effect dash, Sony stereo with USB and Ipod/Iphone compatibility with amp and sub mounted in the spare wheel well, moon roof, supered headlights. Interior fully de-beiged with black carpets, black doorcards with beige leather inserts. My Audi Recaros are currently not fitted but will come with the car if buyer wants them. Currently fitted standard pub interior front seats only. Fitted 'Legnum' aluminium door sills all round and even the tailgate scuff plate to match. With a carbon effect tailgate trim which surrounds the rear numberplate.
Engine is super smooth and quiet and pulls really really well. I expect its running about 270-280 bhp with just the remapped ECU which I am sure can be further tweaked with recent developments in the tuning scene! No dyno print to prove, but with previous experience of my old VR4, I expect it to be around 270-280bhp.
Modifications.
Mods listed in the general text blurb.
Other information.
No current pictures at the moment, but if there are any serious interested parties, I am happy to take pics and post them up.
Comes with a handfull of spare body parts including spare Thurston Grey side skirts, spare 'glass' headlights (one crack but intact and working) with clear indicators. Plus a whole host of random bits including spare gear lever (standard shift - currently fitted is a quick shift), Razo pedals covers, spare Nardi wheel with airbag and plenty of other bits I cant think of.
Also have a GRP vented bonnet to go with the car if buyer wants.
Pictures show the car in its former glory. Number plate not included as no longer with me. Standard P plate on the car.
Would be in the market for a possible swap with a V6 Galant estate as I still need a car.
Bad bits
Now to the bad bits...
Paintwork faded in many areas with some areas having laquer peel.
Manual lever is 'clunky'. The lever does not spring back to neutral position. On investigation it appears that the problem is gearbox side as the selector cables are not 'released' by the box smoothly. However the box runs really well, and no problem with going in/out of any gear.
Bodywork generally showing signs of age.
Requires undersealing this year. Beginning to show little areas of surface rust underneath.
Has a dodgy wheel bearing, but I have a brand new one ready to go on.
HT leads need replacing, but I have a spare set ready to go.
Amplifier not working, but easy fix to replace it!
Audi Recaro seats not currently fitted but will be supplied if wanted.
