Reluctant sale of g40
« on: December 24, 2013, 08:59:41 pm »
** pics to follow **

New car on way and with too many cars so one has to go, I know if this sells it will be the one I regret the most.

Genuine polo G40, black, 79k, sunroof, MOT to Sep2014, tax to April2014.

Recent work I last few hundred miles:
Complete engine setup with full check over
Oil change
New belts
New Bosch WDP40 plugs
New poly bushes
New cat back exhaust, twin silencer
New battery
Injectors refurbed
New temp sensor
New front brakes and complete system bleed
Runs like a dream, doesn't overheat in traffic.

Engine spec:
R1 charger
Piper fast road cam (not too lumpy at idle)
Ported inlet manifold
Ported outlet manifold
Big head
Decat
G60 green injectors
Forged pistons
Derestricted airbox
Rev limiter raised to 7k
Custom remap

Interior:
No rips or tears, period style CD player

Exterior:
Completely standard

Faults:
Couple of minor rust bubbles
Boot doesn't open, lock needs sorting
Lazy starter motor
Heater fan doesn't work
Door cards could benefit from removal and refit
Rear demister switch is a bit temperamental, new genuine VW one included with car.
Left side sunroof pin corroded away, still works but need to be careful when closing.

Good points:
Very original and insanely quick.

Looking for £3.5k

If anyone is interested in a series 1 golf that needs work then PM me as I have a very rare s1 convertible GTi up for grabs for buttons with all the spares you need perfect winter project (and it will let me keep the g!)

Yip but I've also had to spend about £1500 sorting this g out not that it was a bad one to start with so I'd hate to think what you'd need to spend to sort out one that is a dog!! Haha

Good g's are becoming a sellers market again, I just know I'll have to get another one at some point which makes this sale even more painful haha
