hi scott, some decent pictures and a full spec would help you sell this buddy.

your initial write up will not get you any interest.

its sad you are getting rid of it.

Hi steve I will get round to it I just thought any real interest & some1 would call txt or pm for details if I don't get the money iam after for it I keep it I've got back into the subaru side of life again what's taking up some of me free time & money & its a shame the metro just lies in the garage most the year

Swap thi for a Beagle! lol

Cash my way?

hi though i would add a spec of the motor starting from the bottom up over as i mite sell this as a complete unit if i get the right money/offer
benross built sccr box with xpin diff centre oil pick up pipe.

short motor built by green & white mini spares durham new main & bigends on a polished crank centre main strap, std turbo pistons with total seal rings, avonbar phase2 turbo cam genuine turbo oil pump duplex timing gears.

head is a turbo phil item fully ported new ss race spec valves (enlargend inlets) new guides opened chambers to iirc 26cc, hardened valve seats for unleaded fuel, titan full roller rockers 1.5 ratio, ported inlet manifold.

clutch side i have a std turbo verto set up on but have ultra light pre verto set up from andy&johns turbo van.

turbo is std t3 with avonbar adjustable actuator ported exhaust manifold.

the car is curently running 15psi of boost & fueling is spot on while on boost with no det but is to rich low down off boost so could do with a bit more tinkering on that side of things. the cr is 8.55~1 may have forgot something but think ive got 99% of the info in there many thanks scott

still up for sale

price scott?

is the unit up for sale? how much do you want for it I'm very interested

thanks

hi ppl for the engine as it stands lifted straight from the car as one lump is 2000 it also has straight cut drops which i missed of the list iam thinking about pulling the hole thing to bits ive got interest in the box & head at the min but could do with some more interest before i make a decision thanks all

its a shame to break it scott, it needs going to a good home, as there are only 14 turbo metros on the road in the uk

i know steve its a really good car & ive put alot of time & money into it would be gutting to pull it all to bits

I agree that it's a shame to break it. I had a red one a long long time ago and I pulled out the seats, took the hubs and brakes off and lifted out the motor......then smashed it to the right size to fit in a trailer and scrapped it :( :(

I really really wish I hadn't done it now as it was a beauty - albeit just a donor at the time! :(

I am interested in another now though. Ignoring the engine, how much of this car is still "normal"?

Hi danc 8000 everything is std with the rest of the car I've got another one totally std bud needs restoration doesn't seem to bad but will require time to go through everything as its been stood years only got 40k on the clock which I believe correct if ya interested in that 1

save the metros!

They need saving I've just got no time

i might be interested in the box or possibly the head depending on how much your looking for, pm me if you want. as most people have said, save the metty! :)

i got nothing but time..

hey scott,

i'll take the straight cut drops....off you....

cheers bas

Hey Scott,

I would be interested in the SCCR Gears and the 4 pin diff, could you PM me a price.

Cheers
