Water injection kit plumbed in and built in to activate at high boost. Not wired in at the minute.
New fuel tank fitted not long before i picked it up.

PPP Subframe stage three with wishbone conversion (£500 worth of the best chasis upgrade imo).

Interior:

Roof wrapped by DKnight in textured black vinyl as lacquer on the roof had gone patchy.
Cobra immobiliser with two fobs, LED on dash.  New gear gaitor and leather VW gearnob fitted.
Supercharged badge on rear (The OE style one found on some corrados and G40's)

I got a mountain of spare parts including completely rebuilt spare bottom end.  Supercharger spares.  Standard exhaust parts. Intercoolers.  Spare charger parts.  A lot of stuff from the original engine should someone want to return it to a more standard spec. Lots and lots of stuff.  All included.

Bad points:
Few minor spots of rust (nothing anywhere structural), few tiny dents scratches but the car looks great for the year.  Roof liner a bit tatty at the very rear of it but could easily be sorted.

I have only had this car for just over a faultless and epic 2 months.  Only might be selling (which i will 100% regret) as in the next 6 months i will be travelling too and from London (based in West Yorkshire) regularly and have seen a car that would be more suitable.  The G40 is my only car and i don't fancy putting those sort of motorway miles on it.  

I have been driving the car daily and it has been an absolute beast and not one running problem or starting issue to mention at all.  If the car i am interested in for motorway marathons has sold before someone gets this then i will keep it.  It really is a sale of regret having wanted a G40 and waiting for the right one for about 5 years :-(

Due to the extensive spec, the fact that you would struggle to even buy all the parts this car has on it i am asking for £2500 no offers and no part exchanges  will be including the spares i have got with it.  Changed the oil (fuchs titan) and filter 20 miles ago and has had oil changes every 3k miles.

I'd make that money without any problem at all by breaking it but that is not even an option as the car is awesome :-)

(skull and crossbone sticker to cover a small scratch caused by something throwing something at the car whilst i was driving)

Old pic from the previous owner of the cast alloy baffled sump and PSD four branch prior to it being heat wrapped (this picture was taken before the PPP stage three subframe was fitted):



Car really is a credit to Jason (G-spot) who is the previous owner and who has informed me that he will answer any questions on the history of the car if anything further detail is wanted.

All pics put in an album for ease of viewing.

Few more pics and a couple of crappy running vids (just to show no smoke, rattles or strange noises).

Right price dropped to £2200  :-(  Can't get my motorway bareg until this is out of the way.

£2200 with this spec is a bargain.

Absolute bargain. If I hadn't of reaquainted myself with my old G40 recently (not the one hiding in the background of the sump pic ;)) I would have been interested in this. I woudn't keep dropping the price just wait for the right person to come along. And they will come along.

Now is the best time to buy a G40, they seem to go for a bit more feb/march time leading up to the show season and summer.

£2200 is the very lowest i will be going as there is no other reason for the drop in price apart from the fact i need to get a motorway marathon machine.

If i had the space to just keep the car and buy something else then i would but that really isn't possible and i don't ever want this car to be left, not driven and neglected.

I don't want to sell up but truth be told i should have never bought it but it was either buy one now or probably never get one.  This truned up and was just too good to miss.

Thanks for your input :-)
