This is on belfast gumtree for 1500 quid:) looks not bad apart from the colour scheme, had a big list of mods, then states he can't be bothered to list the rest! It's no tax or mot hence price, his words not mine:)

[bill]

is he dreaming with the power? i actually like those wheels pictured on it

[Ryan S]

I'm not sure if he is, I didn't read the ebay ad but on gumtree he did mention a good few mods and there was far too much to list, I think(i could be making this up or imagined it) he said he had graphs for the power:) the sides are all smoother in etc... Looks tidy, again apart from the green:)

[bill]

if it is, is that not a mega bargain then?

[Ryan S]

Yeah, I have friends in northern ireland and they say it's hard to get a mot, that's maybe why it's cheap, my friends have sometimes come over here to get an mot as it's much easier, they could just be winding me up though:)

[bill]

i think there either taking the p1$$ or just being irish lol, nah, dont know mate you could be right? ( my mums irish along with her 4000 brothers and sisters )

[Ryan S]

It is pretty cheap eh, maybe has a tonne of miles on it:)

[nikaiyo]

Just looked at the add again in light of what your saying Sheppy, that enigne bay pic..... no AFM is it a tubular manifold I see?

Might be a bit of a bargin that.....

You know its legal to drive a car with no tax or MOT, to a pre booked MOT..... I wonder

[Ryan S]

I can't see the ebay ad as i'm on my phone just now, i'm just going by what I seen on gumtree, he only had 2 photos on that, both of the outside of the car, i'll have a look at the ebay when I get to the pc, no afm? Could be a rev3 conversion, I was really tempted by it coz I knew about the strict mot laws in n.i. I'll bet that's why it's going cheap, he can't get the fooking this mot'd, and then obviously can't get it taxed, worthless basically:) shame, I think it's really tidy, again, apart from the horrible green:)

Yes, I believe the N.I. MOT is a little more stringent, I'm not sure on the legalites of having the car MOT'd on the mainland and then taking it back to NI though, I'll ask my uncle

looks like its on standard intercooler to me, i wouldn't like to run that power on a standard IC. plus the pipework that replaces the hotpipe looks pretty shody.
i could be wrong though

it also says that the car is still on rev 1 injectors 444cc and the ECU has a chip.

i cant see a chip, tubular manifold and intercooler making that power, and it dose not mention anything about the turbo.

[Ryan S]

444cc injectors

yep it was at this point i realized he's talking out his ar$e.

[Dundee]

Wonder how many 444cc injectors he is running for that ouput?

Ahh, sheppy got there first!! doh!!

[Ryan S]

Wonder how many 444cc injectors he is running for that ouput?

Ahh, sheppy got there first!! doh!!

must be running 8 of them at least!!! with aseperate ecu to manage them, although no mention of this!!!!


i reckon 260 bhp at the very most.

"number plate is also valued at 950 quid"
So the cars valued at 550 quid then?

haha, they irish plates are worthless!!! although anybody that has one always claims it's worth a grand or something!!!

It does depend though, some of the plates carry a premium, eg 'GAZ, RAZ, BAZ' plates are more popular

[RobCrezz]

On 440cc injectors? Yeah right!

[Ryan S]

On 440cc injectors? Yeah right!
