What\'s it worth and can you tell me more fd3s

It was Super 7 in Worthing - Near Brighton

Well - it will be a fair distance but again - perspective - I flew down from Edinburgh to Gatwick and got a train along to Worthing where the garage is just 5 minutes walk from the station.

Sure they had a black standard one in storage at the minute thats in good nick.

Right. Iv spoke to the guy selling the car. I said I want a compression test doing, I want the water system pressurised. A road test so boost pressure can be seen and boosting correctly, a service and I want an mot then we can go from ther. He is confident nothing will be wrong. If the engine is all fine and the water system seems water tight with no signs of leaking what would you be will to pay? He\'s had the car around 3 years, the mods haven\'t been on the car that long and it\'s not been driven in 18 months with the mods on. Where can I go from there if the car is fine? I promise this is the last question lol

If everything is perfect with a thumbs up from from pip , taking into account the clean interior and exterior then it\'s a 4k car for me. Max.

Just going of experience of standard oem body cars as it\'s my thing but still standard factory engines still need rebuilding at some point.

[Ashp1989]

The car is immaculate inside and out. Fresh re trimmed leather seats. Had a respray 2 years ago and been dry stored. Nice rota gtr wheels, high spoiler on the back. Apexi ecu, uprated intercooler. Full exhaust system, air filters etc. need to get pip down if he would. I don\'t mind paying good money for him to come and have a look at it

[Ashp1989]

Can someone tell me what bumper and spoiler is on it. Thanks.

Don\'t be blinded by the way a car looks, I was and it turned out it was a dog as it popped in less than 7hrs on the road... Dodgy Traders everywhere.. just make sure you do your research, and get people to look over it for you and if all is well, great ...  If the chap is sure the car is fine, get him to cough up for checkovers etc...

[skybusr34]

There are traders that can do a rebuild for a lot less than 3 / 4k .  

If it\'s a nice clean car and you like it. Don\'t listen to "it\'s only worth 1200 quid"

If your handy with the tool box Tim at Rx motors can do a rebuild for 1500 bucks. Drop it in then take for a set up a check over.

[Ashp1989]

He\'s getting it checked over for me and il get it mapped myself. If the compression is there and the water system is tight then I won\'t take it for a build straight away as there won\'t be any need to. The car is worth 3k breaking all day. It\'s go a mega thick uprated radiator aswell as I found out yesterday when I went to look at it again. And it will come with a nice vented bonnet. So it only need me a map and the intercooler ducting in then it\'s good to go. Not sure how to duct it in though :-?
But the advice iv been given has been spot on and appreciated as I\'m going in with my head not my heart like I normally do.

[skybusr34]

That\'s fair enough. As you pointed out . If the worst happened you could break it and get 2500/3000 back so IMO it\'s worth £3000 all day long

[skybusr34]

As long as it\'s comp results are all over 6. Once your in the 5 bar range rebuild time is looming anyhow so push for 2500
