COMMENTS
Bought in July 2008
Full service history
Folder full of receipts including my £1,000 plus bill from Jabba Sport
My current input into her is approx £4,000
Selling due to not being able to insure 3 vehicles and I want to tackle drifting, I can't commit to both with my budget so something unfortunately something has to give and it breaks my heart to be writing this for sale post :(
My husband has tried and failed to help me fix it (I'm no good under a hood) and I can't afford to pay someone to fix her as the last person I trusted fitted and paid a lot of good money too, put the wrong spark plugs in her causing it to melt a piston. That was nearly 3 years ago this March!!! A shit time in my life back then, storage, keeping the pikey iron men at bay and having shit all money since then has kept me in this situation of not being able to get it going. I can't have it all, so she has to go. Ouchie.
I would love to see her go to a good home where she will be given a good life and see the roads to meet that porsche again on the M5 ;)
Location: Castle Donington
Trailer required to take home
Currently SORN
PRICE
£2,000 without KW V1s
£2,500 with KW V1s (will split from car to sell separately)
Open to sensible negotiations and I'm only interested in px R32
No time wasters please.
Thanks
Dirrt
p.s I am also selling my compo's, if anyone is interested please get in touch

I'd be interested in the KWs on their own.
-
So are a lot of other people :)
I will let all forums know if I split and go from there.
I'd like to sell complete car ideally.
-
Hi m8 if you barke the car I'll have the engine box loom ecu all pipe work! £1000
-
Dont break it Dirrt its soo clean!
-
If I bought this it would be to break it for my own needs. I hadn't said anything up till now as it looks too nice to break up a pukka G, but if you're going to end up breaking it anyway let me know and we can talk about the whole car. I'm only down the road too. ;)
-
how much for the compo's ?
-
i think when shes talking about splitting, shes referring to the coilovers and not the whole car.
and she wont sell the compos, until the car is sold.
if she does break the car i will kick her in the faj! but if someone else buys it to break, its a crying shame, by all means buy it for your own purposes (ie taking the coilovers) but just put it back on standard suspension and move it on. no point breaking a G40 that doesnt need to be broken for parts!
GRR
-
Saf has it spot on, I will not be breaking this >:(
I want to sell the G complete with coilovers ideally.
Compos won't be sold unless the car goes, as if I end up having to keep it I will want the compos for planned refurb.
-
Like I said, it looks too nice to break which is why I'd ignored it until there was talk of splitting.
-
Hi m8 if you barke the car I'll have the engine box loom ecu all pipe work! £1000
£1200???
-
Would you take 1600 with out the kw's
-
Thanks for your offer, no thanks
-
This car is easily worth 2k all day long, its a minter
-
What was up with the old engine? Is the bottom end in one piece?
-
I melted a piston
Yes, apart from one piston and rod which is now gone. The person who took it part to diagnose it for me, lost the rod and chucked the piston in the bin >:( wasn't pleased. That way my trophy!
-
Aww, ashtray gone.
How much would you want for the block and crank?
-
The block and crank has 3 good pistons and rods attached, so I'd like £200 or I'll just keep it
-
You have pm.
-
Is this still up for sale?
-
Yes
-
Still interested in the coilovers, but wouldn't be right to buy this just to break it!
-
You and 10 other people haha! Splitting will not be an option now and I wouldn't sell to someone who was just going to break it.
I'm currently paying £60 a month to store it, move house in April with secure garage and lockable gates so transferring to there and if I have no options between now and the Juke going back, I'll be paying for this to be fixed and it will then become my daily as my E30 is now a drift trailer queen. So I'm keeping my options open, as I don't think I'll getting any genuine interest in the next year anyway which is kind of a good thing as I do really love this car and don't want to let it go.
-
How much is the car up for? Where are you based? And is there anything wrong with the car?
-
Did you read any of the thread ???
Taken from first post:
"The car does run BUT after installing a new engine (supplied by Yoof at polo performance) there are a few things left to do. Can't recall mileage of that engine, but I'm sure if you ask Yoof he might be able to tell you.
Exhaust manifold gasket needs to be changed
Ignition timing needs to be set
On and off sticking throttle issue
Needs New Radiator Fan (I have one here)
General look over before MOT as it's been stood"
It's been stood for over 2 years, so no idea what state the bushes are in one front top mount rubber needs changing. The exhaust needs a centre mount bolting on, the new electric fan I have for it needs fitting, then it needs a new set of exhaust gaskets. My husband de-wedged the throttle body too, but it's sticking a bit so might want a new throttle body or maybe a lube-up. also needs the timing checking/setting too as we don't have a strobe.
Essentially the car is sweet it just needs a few days tinkering.
Oh and there's a spot of rust under the drivers door's bump strip that would want fettling if you were fussy.
Yes I would accept your offer by pm.
