If only i could insure it!
If only i could insure it!
Booooooooooooooooooooo
Great car there, someone will be very happy.
Mine costs £700 tpft to insure and im 24, low crime area though. Insurance infact did go down after conversion
Sry forgot to ask what the This Tread was about. i couldnt view it!!
and you ever get the brake trouble sorted (spotted an earlier thread on it)
Pete, has the crack worn off yet? have you come to your senses and realised you only decided to sell it in a drug fuelled haze, due to an elaborate practical joke gone awry and, are in fact keeping it?
Please tell me that's what's actually happened?
It's a shame you're selling this Pete, not considered just keeping it to enjoy a few shows before selling?
What you planning on getting as a replacement?
Thanks Kev I would be the happiest man alive if I get the chance to own and enjoy this car
Life is good thanks, was a struggle financially for the first few months after Ethan arrived but we're back to normal again now Mel is back to work and I'm allowed to spend again!
I'm going to be so gutted if the B4 doesn't go in time for me to take this opportunity

hmmm i could be interested in this... keep looking at this thread although i'm after a mk2 escort really but this is such an ace car
Just a couple of questions, pm me if you like, how low would you go on the price and who do you insure it with? i'm 30 with full no claims so shouldn't be too bad..
Few questions etc, sorry if they have already been asked as not got time to read the thread...
How many miles has the RB and running gear done?
Who did the conversion?
Do you have better pictures of the rust on struts etc and any interior pictures?
What sort of mileage does it do to a tank?
Ta
Unsure of the mileage on the RB - there is a sticker on the timing cover saying the belt was done at 102,000kms, so at least that. Before it was put in, the engine was stripped, big ends and mains were replaced with ACL race bearings, and everything was checked before being re-assembled with a new genuine Nissan engine gasket set and all new belts (inc cambelt).
The conversion and all the engine work was done by Buffy (aka Super Buff, aka Mike).
I don't have any better pictures, but I can certainly take some for you. The interior is fairly uninteresting really, imagine a standard facelift interior with some S14a cloth front seats and a boost gauge, and you've got it
It does approx. 250 miles to a tank, that's mixed driving, some open road, some town, some nailing it

What pressure is the turbo running, how is it controlled and what is it rated to, not had much dealings with the T3...
The turbo boost is an odd one - it makes 14psi initially, but then tails off towards the redline down to 9/10psi. It's controlled by an ND (Forge) adjustable actuator.
We (Jez H and I) had originally assumed that it was a weak actuator, but I'm beginning to suspect that the turbo just might be too small to hold boost to the redline. This is despite the fact that it's supposed to be capable of 20+psi on a 4 cyl engine
The turbo was originally on Pointblank's car and was specced by him to be low lag and capable of 350bhp+
Makes full boost at 2700rpm and is really flying by 4k+
