Hello

Right, for those of you that have seen this car before, it was owned for years by 'chappers' who I bought this from.

Now due to buying a house and a mortgage I need to sell it unfortunately ! (First time buyer)
Need something a bit more...casual

Spec is

MOT till Sept 08
Tax till Sept 08

Engine
998 block pocketed
998 slipper pistons, 5cc dish
MG metro cam
ported 12g940 head
electronic dizzy
Modified plenum for dumpvalve and IC
IHI RHB5 turbo on custom manifold and downpipe.
running verto clutch setup ATM
Bleed valve
Playmini stainless single box system.
Bailey piston type dumpvalve
Intercooler not fitted yet, have 2 spare which I will throw in

All new 8mm fuel lines under car. high pressure pump and filter, return tee'd before HP pump.

Body
resprayed in Saab merlot red with VW silver roof 3 years ago, so showing signs of age, but still nice paint job. Small signs of surface rust coming next to the wiper and back window (normal places)
New group 2 arches in black.
2 piece fibre glass flip front, removable bonnet.
Debumpered rear and front.

Interior
new Moto-lita wood steering wheel
Half leather rover 220 GTI front seats. Custom chequer plate dash in matt black.
Boost gauge, oil pressure.

Brakes
re-conned Cooper S calipers, brand new discs and drive flanges, new front left hub and bearing
brand new drums and shoes on rear

Wheels and tyres
20th anniversary "Exacton" alloy wheels painted in gun metal grey with newish A032R Yokos (1600 Miles) These still have loads of tread

Suspension
Hi lows and Spax dampers, poly bushed rear and front subframes.

I am looking for £2000 or VERY close to it. Viewing is a must if anyone is interested. I'm in Middlesbrough

If i have missed anything or any questions please just PM me.
Its running at 81Bhp ATM (was in miniworld), with loads of scope for more power. Intercooler plus a rolling road should see it hit around 100bhp

It has loads of receipts and previous rolling road printouts in a folder.

I'll try and get some more pictures up soon when the weather is better !

More pictures

It doesn't mention anything in the logbook about a turbo as far as I can tell, only 998cc

You cannot change the logbook to say turbo, in just the same way as you can't change it to say supercharged or injection.
The only part you can change is the engine capacity (cc).

That really isn't how it works! Log book and insurance are two different things. Within reason i don't think it matters too much what's on the log book as long as it is the right one for the car. However, I would personally declare all mods to an insurance company. Especially seeing as they may already have a record of this car on file.

Just my 2p.

That's the least of your worries, if you decide to drive without valid insurance.

I suspect a valve dropped or got stuck/snapped, this was at 5k rpm

I'd guess
