Kenny's Kup

[Nafoff]

Well I never managed to get any work done on the car last month but I did spend a lot of time looking at it and thinking long and hard about what to do with it.
I would have really liked to leave it sitting in the garage until circumstances changed and I was able to finish it but the way things are I can't even begin to guess at when that's likely to happen.

So it looks like it's going up for grabs after all.
I'd like to see it get finished by someone so selling everything in one go would be ideal but I know I would probably get more splitting it.

ah man this is a shame

 

[firehorizon]

what an awesome build and craftmanship gone into this, truly a leg end!!!!

 

[Kenny.s]

ah man this is a shame

Sh*t happens I guess but life goes on. I've enjoyed the time spent building it, even if I didn't quite get it finished.

I don't really know what it's worth, hence why I've not put it in the for sale section yet, hopefully I don't get into trouble for sort of turning this into an advert

Shell

• Built on a brand new Mk2 shell, shipped from the factory in France
• Custom Cages T45 FIA spec cage, fully tig welded throughout
• Extra T45 bracing to the bulkhead and strut towers
• Rebuilt/modified strut towers and tubbed inner arches

• Rear arches rolled and stretched slightly
• CMC Composites fibreglass doors
• Ultra lightweight fibreglass bonnet and tailgate
• CMC Composites lightweight fibreglass cup rear spoiler (not painted or fitted)

• GKN Motorsport shafts and CV joints +x2 spare CV joints

• Facet lift pump, alloy swirl pot and walbro 255 pump housed in sealed enclosure above the main tank.
• Fuelab, pre and post pump filters
• Goodridge 811 teflon lines and fittings
• I also have a broken Sodemo F3 engine available with Pankl rods and billet crank.

The Electrics aren't finished but most parts and materials are there to complete. Also have all the CAD wiring diagrams including the pin-outs for the connectors which have been installed so far.
I had intended to fit a Syvecs S6 to the car so the wiring has been based around that. There is a mounting point for it on the bulkhead behind the dashboard.

• Sabelt wheel with Lifeline quick release boss

The tyres are a mix of old slicks and wets, they hold air but are not usable.

There's bound to be loads of other stuff I've forgotten about but that should be the majority of it.

Just had a look through the last couple of pages of this and...wow, that looks blinkin' awesome. A real shame you have to sell it. Be interested in what you think it's worth. A car with a lot of potential there.

 

[Kenny.s]

I could be way off the mark, but considering what a Mk2 Cup Racer still fetches, i'd like to get 10.5k. It wouldn't take a huge amount of work or money to get it running.

Just adding up what some of the main bits are potentially worth if it was broken

Gearbox, subframe, shafts, hubs etc, should fetch 5.5k-6k
Caged shell, all panels windows etc 2k
Suspension, top mounts etc 2.5k

10.5k seems pretty reasonable to me but I honestly don't know. What I do know is that there's a whole lot more than that gone into it!

 

[Johnc172]

I shouldn't think this will last long matey. Everyone can say it's overpriced till they're blue in the face, but if they really think about the kit this comes with and the work that has gone into it, 10.5k seems reasonable to me! A really shame I haven't got 10k spare otherwise I'd snap it up!

 

[Kenny.s]

A big thanks to James Ash for posting this up on his Facebook page from which I subsequently got a huge amount of interest.
In the end it made sense to break the car into a rolling shell and other major components. The gearbox was collected during the week and the rolling shell went away yesterday.

I've still got a few bits left to sell, such as

Cup Racer front hubs complete with roll correction pins, studs and inserts to allow the track rod ends to be fitted from the other side.
Cup Racer Uniball holders
Cup Racer Front Calipers 60mm piston (No rust)
Std Clio Cup Rear Calipers (very clean)
New Renault hand brake cables, both sides.
Cup Racer Subframe and Sadev Engine and Gearbox mounts
Cup Racer GKN driveshafts and CV's
Rear axle with pure motorsport stiffening kit fitted (needs painted)
Cup racer 2 piece rear hubs and discs
Sabelt Titan Seat large x2
Sabelt Alloy seat brackets x2 sets
Brand New 182 engine
Brand New coil pack
Gigavac battery isolator
Varley 25 battery and bracket

Loads of other wee odds and ends, ill get pictures and make up a proper advert.
