I would imagine that like most of these totals quoted on ads that includes a previous low pressure conversion that blew up and then the cost of redoing it etc, as it wouldnt cost (even with kTAX) 28K to build that in one go to the spec it is now.
Or maybe it includes the reciept for buying the car new, FLOL!
After a few messages on ebay, hes a dick.
First off he wouldnt accept my meg because the clio is worth more
Then he said he doesnt want another car because hes moving
Then said he would take a px and hes nephew would take the car off his hands as hes a dealer
Aye, alright

To spend anything like that money on a clio, you have to really trust the seller that its exactly as described, unless they will allow you to put a borescope down to check for forged pistons, remove pass drive shaft to check for quaiffe diff etc.
This pretty much sums it up.
I bet it does too!
To spend that amount of money & 'only' get to those figures is utter madness!
He won't split
Well he is going to have that car for a LONG time then I suspect unless he:
a) drops the price by a BIG margin
b) Gets mega lucky with someone just falling in love with it so much they buy it at that price, which really does seem unlikely without proper details to even know if its all true or not, and even if its exactly as described that is still VERY strong money to be asking for it!
Agreed, if trying to sell a very modified car in a rush its worth taking a part-ex on something that you can move on far more easily in a short time frame.
Especially if priced right so you can just hand it over to one of the car buying firms straight away.
I had a boost pipe blow off myself, I have done roughly same mileage as George.
I love mine, if it breaks it breaks lol.
It's fun while it works
Most people would say it's too much, but you buy a mint Clio ( cost you top money ) and get it up to that spec ( more money!!) I paid a bit more but I wanted my car as it had all the goodies. I have receipts totalling 10k diff , turbo and ecu piss 3k and 4 lots of mapping brought it to 5k. Not to mention rods, pistons, clutch, fuel pump, swirl pot, injectors, fmic, pipe work, exhaust system. Brakes.
If some one wants it bad enough they will pay it. You might well get a better build car for your money. But it's such a fun experience to have a Clio that shifts really well. Handling and straight line performance . I had a Clio 172 cup and loved it, my trophy ticked all my boxes. I love it. And as all the boosted owners will tell you, every passenger ride I give they are amazed. My old man calls my car a jet plane. One friend of mine was speechless for 10 mins and he has been in a few supercars.
This car has a good spec if it's honest. Better than mine it seems. Good luck with sale I say.
I just can't understand why people sell up after spending all that money?
It was also mapped several times as things were added I think?
My vauxhall used to be up and down, sometimes it would not react quick enough, odd hesitation on boost. And I know a mate that had this with a golf gti and someone with an evo. I have got to say mine never has any issues above. It pulls clean every time. Maybe it's the standalone type ecu thing? I was always told standalone management would sort all the niggles out on modern turbo cars. Especially the Astra vxr/gsi/Sri-t. Too many sensors restricting things

Explain which way it would die? I have done 4 k so far since I bought it, when I spoke to ktec he explained it was last mapped on 105.
I will be booking an adjustment ASAP if your saying I am going to ruin the engine.
Thanks for your input mate

£5999 is a bargain for someone that was already thinking of doing it to their own clio! It would save them £000's
BG Clio 182 FF
K-tax at work right there.
Is it 100% the same car?
There are a few substantial changes if it is:
1) Mileage has increased a fair bit.
2) Buckets & cage fitted.
3) AST's have gone.
4) Wheels have gained an inch - 17's now.
5) Highspec brake kit is now Ktr 4 pot kit.
6) And it was originally on Omex - now running Gen90.
7) Bonnet is now one of those awful carbon fibre ones.
Sounds like a different car to me!
