It will be for sale for a very long time at that price. Realistically its probably worth 2k,maybe a tad more. Needs a lot of work.
I sacked it off and just bought one from Steve at Rsport without even viewing it because i knew it would be mint.
He doesn't charge that per hour lol. Its just a flat charge, whether it takes 1 hour or 6 the price is what he tells you.
It took him around 3 hours to map my 182 because the ECU had to be removed as it wouldn't communicate over OBD. He charged me the same price. Top bloke!
My personal high performance tyre for dry/wet is Pzero nero.
There are plenty of other great choices though, Michelin PS3, Vredestein Sportrac 5, Ultrac sessanta, Dunlop Sportmaxx etc. The list is huge really.
Winter tyres will be far better once it starts getting properly cold. Even Budget...
CMOS is the battery on the motherboard. If you remove it can help to reset the BIOS, usually when you break something when messing around in the BIOS.
Can give it a try removing it, but I doubt it will help.
Nice write up, looks superb!
Need to get the Roverghini done but I fully understand when you say you need help. Such a big car, its a pain in the arse just giving it a wash its that big ha!
Happened on my astra gsi. It was held flat out at 3 figures for too long and then bang. Cylinder 3 ate the spark plug. Sadly mine needed a new engine lol.
I just use G5 all the time, I find it great.
1 coat on side windows, 2 on rear and 3 on windscreen. The side coatings easily last over 6 month. The front lasts at least 3 month generally. And it takes 2 minutes to re apply it.
Whats some decent machine polishing pads to start out with for a Meguairs polisher? I got it cheap with no pads.
Been looking at the Chemical guys hex logic ones, auto finesse ones, anything else better?
Not sure what Bumpstops the girlfriends had but I know it pretty much sat bottomed out before anyone even got in the car lol.
As for power, aim for 180-185 and over 220 ftlbs of torque. That turbo won't flow 200bhp. You'll need the gt1446 for that which is a small fortune!
Looks fantastic.
Never really read any reviews, what do they say about the steering in sport mode? I couldn't drive one out of sport mode, they feel awful. In sport mode they feel great, just enough weight behind it.
The rear bump stops do help, but I didn't think they made much difference...
