Ok guys, basically I'm looking to buy a Honda S2000 quite soon, so my car will be up for sale very soon, priced £2500 o.n.o. It's quite a impressive spec and is a very capable car, simply stripping this car down for parts would get a great profit (although I'd prefer to not see this happen).
This is a car I have loved for over 4 years and anyone who knows me, will tell you how much the car has meant to me I'll be sad to see it go, but it's the only way I can afford a new car and due to my new job, I'm using it far too much for commuting which is a waste on the car.
I'm open to offers and I have most standard parts, so if you'd prefer the original part (tyres / exhaust / airbox / shocks etc) then just let me know.
Spec:
1998 S - 1.6 16v China Blue 106 Gti
Full Leather Interior
Ecosse Induction Kit with Green filter
Pugsport decat Exhaust System
4-2-1 Stainless Steel Raceland exhaust manifold
Kent Pt 51 Cams
Chipwizards / Jamsport - ECU Remap - with printout of Jamsport RR @ 160 bhp when done.
Quaife LSD (Limited Slip Differential)
Xsi Gearbox (closer gear ratio for faster acceleration, however only slgihtly closer than standard Gti gearbox)
15" Saxo VTS wheels
Toyo R888 - Tyres
Eibach springs ~40mm lowered
Bilstein Sprintline shocks front and rear
Upper E-Tech Strutbrace
Lower OMP Strutbrace
Polyflex rear bushes
Recently refurbished rear beam with 24mm ARB
Ferodo DS 2500 Brake Pads all around
The car is a very capable spec, which cost thousands to build and has given me a lot of enjoyment. It's been carefully looked after, never driven hard from cold, regularily serviced (plugs / oil change), cambelt and water pump was done when the cams went in at 74,000 miles.
The car also can come with a whole array of original parts / spares ...
I've got:
4x 15" normal 195/45/15 road tyres almost brand new
A normal exhaust system with cat
A standard airbox
Standard shocks
Spare coil pack
Spare map sensor
Spare ECU engine temp sensor
Spare fuel rail
Spare 4x injectors
Spare Crank Sensor
- I bought these over the years to help diagnose any problems by swapping parts over until it cured it.
Ok the bad points:
The car has covered 102,000 miles. Unfortunately I travel 80 miles a day for work (40 miles each way), so I clock the miles up fast - however this is mostly sitting on the motorway cruising at 70mph or in traffic and aren't 102,000 miles of hard driving.
The car's lower gearbox engine mount seems to be a bit old and the rubber is soft, allowing a bit of movement on the engine when going on / off throttle... it's not really a issue - but it does sometimes cause the gear linkage to rattle on the exhaust (under the car) when lifting off from high revs. I've bought a new powerflex lower gearbox mount to resolve this issue but haven't fitted it yet. I'll give it free to the owner of the new car.
Generally the car is nicely kept (as you can see in the pics), the paint is still lovely - however for a 11 year old car, you can expect slight marks / stone chips etc and the price reflects the fact the car's exterior has a few marks but nothing major.
£2500 or open to offers.
Give me a message for any more info.
Thanks,
Paul
