Free bump and a plug...

Saw this @ WGT just before xmas sans engine and had a good nosey around her while I was waiting on bad news. ABSOLUTELY STUNNING piece of kit both inside and out, if I had 30k I would bite your hand off for this.

For the money you\'re asking on pistonheads I would really expect a more in depth advert and a complete car (you mentioned the ecu in you\'re first post)

On the other hand, this car is badass and should sell itself.

Personally if i were to buy an fd of this spec Id want to know every detail about it.

Good luck with the sale. It\'d be a shame to break it, but money talks!!

If you"re planning to sell it for another rotary, i can\'t honestly think of something better than an a complete FD 20B with built engine.

Get the ECU, have it tuned by Pip and you\'ll instandly ask yourself why you even though of selling it.

It looks to be a lovely car, however, with the greatest respect:

If I was spending 30k on an FD, I\'d want it to be perfect in every way.
I honestly think you\'ll have a lot of difficulty selling it un run in and unmapped.
Run in the last few hundred miles,  get an ECU, get it mapped, write a full spec least, and do something about the interior - a few hundred quid will get the seats recovered, and less than £100 should get you some good condition stock interior parts that will match the class of the rest of the car - or if you can run to it, I\'d look at getting some of the parts flocked/alcantara covered. Making this small (compared to the rest of the car) outlay would \'finish\' the car in my eyes, and I reckon would make it a lot more attractive to the sort of buyer who\'s got 30k to splumf on an FD.

The market is rubbish at the moment and cars are fetching nowhere near what they are worth.
It\'s a great car, I just think it needs a bit more attention to maximise your chance of a sale in the current market.

YES mate, you are right, since you mentioned this; I would like to suggest that even thou the car is up for sale, I have been buying things left right and center. I have already bought the interior goods off someone here. I have also sourced many other things that needed to be done on the car. I am anticipating that the interior things will be arriving soon, as far the running in is concerned..I am just waiting for some cash to clear up so that I can do that as well and put the final bhp figure of the car-Microtech is not a bad ECU, but its just not that advanced as Motec! but as you know yourself-FDs are never finishing projects...I can never say that I have done everything to attract the customer. But, off-course I take your point on board and further admit that what you have mentioned would attract the customers :cheers..

Thanx

What a lovely project to have been able to do, the results are impressive. :cheers

I just cant see how you would get close to the £30k asking price by breaking though, does the value of the car not lie with the 20b conversion? Sell the engine and components and your left with a body kitted shell, all be it a nice shell, but in this day an age of rx7\'s being broken every where you look, there are a few shells about for not a lot of money.

I am sure you know your figures, but kind of agree with most other comments, get it run in, mapped and head to the shows with a for sale sign and hope some rich lad falls in love with it and just cant say no :Thumbsup!

[Cliveyy]

Out of interest if you did break it. Lets say someone wanted the conversion and another wanted the shell.
Could a 13B be dropped back in to it with ease, or would certain thing have been changed for the 20B to go in?

[Mir]

changes have been made to install 20b.  But, to install 13b would not be impossible as the sub frame needs to be changed and some other minor modification needs to be done.
