    Ok ive had some problems and fixed them:

    1) Notice front tyres were bad - 2 x new tyres fitted today
    2) Injector light came on - Split vac pipe to ecu - fixed yesterday
    3) Total loss of boost - Split top hose - Temporary fix, new pipe on order
    4) While investigating above leak, found a slightly worn post IC pipe - temp fixed, new one on order
    5) While fixing above probs, had all plugs out, all perfect, all leads perfect.
    6) Water, oil all checked, topped up and perfect.

    Basically what I am saying, is that this car has had a lot of love, even though I really need to sell, I am still taking supreme care of her, and she is running better than ever. I really dont want sell

    OK, BTTT with a new price of £1600 ono

    The problem I have, is that the car is worth much more in bits. I cannot break it though for two reasons: 1) Im no mechanic, 2) I have no driveway or garage and I cant have a bare shell on the street

    People mention struggling to sell it once they're done with it as its a cat C, but it could one day be broken? I reckon the following:

    £150 Subaru Impreza seats (with LHD pass subframe, custom mounts, bolt straight in)
    £40 Dials with plasmas
    £150 Morettes (electric adjustors)
    £100 Custom stainless exhaust with decat
    £50 FMIC (if you sold it with the pipework)
    £75 GT3 ecu with seb2 (copy)
    £20 Dawes device
    £10 Turbo timer
    £10 Boost gauge
    £5 Clear reps
    £10 Clear indicators
    £80 GT3 Rims
    £45 Gmax -60mm springs
    £40 Professionally smoothed bonnet
    £15 Total closure kit
    £10 Blue LED heater switches
    £10 Blue heater dials (if they ever arrive)
    £20 Piper x filter
    £10 K&N filter
    £5 Halfords filter
    £35 Dump valve

    £900 And that is before you even properly get your hands dirty

    Then you can sell stuff like:

    Turbo
    PAS pump
    Rad
    Engine
    Box
    Windows
    Doors
    Rear lights
    Bumpers
    Skirts
    Standard lights
    Battery
    Loom
    CAT
    Rear seats
    GT3 doorcards
    Dash
    Stereo
    Speakers
    GT rear beam
    GT front brakes
    Fuel tank
    Fuel pump

    Theres gotta be a grand there too!!!

    This means you could get two, three or maybe four years (like me) running out of her, and still make a tidy penny when the time comes to give up GT ownership

    This car puts a smile on my face every time i drive it, There's gonna be a real gap to fill with my new car
