Hi there, I'm getting close to putting mine up for sale - but haven't as yet had the time to get photos or an advert together.
Its a genuine Rev 5 - although its a UK car with a full turbo engine swap. Second time I've owned this particular car - its that good. Previously owned by Stuart Lee (long time member on here) and Phil (aka Magic Beans), so its history is well known on the forum. Phils journey with the car (with pics) can be found from half way down page 129 on the following link...

forums/viewtopic.php?t=159087&postdays= ... 8198ffd194
Since I bought it back from Phil a year ago, its had a full service, aux belt, dizzy cap/rotor, brake discs & pads, handbrake cables, coil/ignitor. Due to an issue I had with boost (which turned out to be the coil/ignitor), everything in the engine has been gone through with a fine toothcomb by DriftLimits (formerly Pacific Works) and its got a clean bill of health from them. One of their mechanics (Victor) spent a week with it and ended up wanting to buy it - unfortunately he didn't have enough money - but feel free to give them a call for an unbiased view of it. I'm looking for £7k, which I feel is a very fair price considering the market, the condition and the maintenance over the last year.Anything else that you want to know, please just ask.

PS - its got a full 12 months MOT on it also

edited to add - LOL, just looked back in my PMs from a few years ago as I thought I recognised your username - you had shown an interest in this car when I first sold it, but Phil got there and bought it first. Maybe 2nd time lucky for you? :-)

Hmm, possibly. I'm in that just sorting out a few niggles before selling phase. I don't want to sell it but I struggle to justify keeping it. Its a Rev 2 that I've owned since 2005, if you'd like more info drop me a PM.

I know you're after a turbo, however if you don't find one you like, there's currently a BEAMS up for sale on eBay. Rev 5, G-Limited, 84,600 miles. Pretty rare! Fits your budget, too

Evening Adam,

Good to see you again. Completely different car now, spent a lot on it since I bought it off you. Back to a Departure Pro 2, BC Racing coilovers, Polybushed, amongst more.

Cheers!
