i would love to bid mate, but i dont have money for another car

[b0yracer]

awesome car ive just spent ages looking through this thread, i came across your awesome fiesta on ebay, and read your write up on there too

its a shame to sell it, but i hope you get what you want for it

good luck

I wish I had the cash to buy it too. What's the potential power by uprating the turbo and getting a good map?

The GT28R is capable of enough flow for around 330-ish BHP - I'd say it'd make a safe, unstressed 300BHP at about 12-14psi boost and well over 300 lb/ft torque.

[jimmyesh]

That's it, it's gone!

The upside is that the new owner is exactly the kind of guy that I wanted to be the next owner, he's called Jamie and is on this forum, called "siesta" I think. He's a really nice guy who's a proper enthusiast, owns an RS1800 too so his garage is pretty enviable now!

I sold it for £4100 which I think is a fair price in today's economic climate.

The car sounded and looked amazing as it left my drive, I hope it's good for him and he enjoys owning it for years to come.

Thanks to everyone who commented on this thread and helped me get this car finished,

Bye for now,

Jim

Fastest ebay car collection ever! Hardly surprising though.

Will look forward to seeing the car looked after and used in the future

[jayrs]

shame it had to go mate, but glad its gone to a owner that will look after it, and is a memember on here

[jimmyesh]

He's driving back to Wales in it right now, if you're going out on the M25/M4 etc today, keep your eyes peeled!

[SEG1]

Bargain of the year. Hope he looks after it

[RS rob]

i know jamie,
he's a good lad!!

[heeman10]

I'm glad it's gone to the sort of owner you would've chosen matey, and you're right, to get that sort of money is as good as you can hope really, when time is a bit of an issue. I couldn't even get someone to part with £2,750 for mine, got messed about for months and months, even at that price! Back then, selling a well-proven 200bhp ZT for under £3,000 should've been like watching piranha attack a chicken in the Amazon! Something cool will come your way again dude x

Cookie only lives down the road from me, what happened to it?

[jonyb4]

umm a few have been written off on Si.com in the last few months so bare with me

think he swerved to avoid someone in the dark and hit the central reservation and damaging the front end too, he's breaking it now

[Rhinopower]

Ah thats a shame. I can't imagine there is anything of value on there for mine tho.

[jonyb4]

your engine on bodies?

he has a good inlet set up from the ST170 and injectors, apart from that cant think of much else that would suit

[Rhinopower]

Yeah, I've got bodies on mine

[Rs Adz]

[DanFraser]
