Rev 4 Shell with Rev 1 turbo engine - on eBay now

Post by SH3311 »

I've got a Rev 4 shell in Goodwood Green, with stripped interior, Has mounting brackets for roll cage as it was removed by previous owner.

Has a rev 1 turbo engine. Been sitting for over a year. I have tried starting the engine. It cranks but doesn't fire. compression was fine when I checked a year ago. have changed the distributor cap and rotor.

This is an old thread by the previous owner:

http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic. ... t=#1510542


And how it looks now (I have fitted a boot lid with spoiler recently):

Bodywork is not in great condition; has lacquer peel in various places. The front & back bumpers are black.

Have a set of rev 3 lights but one of the reverse light mounts has broken, should be an easy fix.

Still has the Momo steering wheel as on the previous thread.

Interior is totally stripped out. And also has no drivers seat.

No exhaust back box and radiator.

Left headlight doesn't pop up.

Interior and body will need quite a lot of work to bring it back to standard. Best use for this would be as a track car as the previous owner intended. Or maybe to use the engine in another car.




Will be keeping the private plate.


It's on eBay now if anyone is interested.

Update!

Changed rotor and distributor cap.

Car cranks fine but still doesn't fire up. Can smell fuel. I'm guessing something with the ignition needs fixing.

I've got a friend to check who says the rotor spins when cranking. So I have no idea what it could be. Started up fine over a year ago.

Is that done by removing the intake pipe that the AFM is attached to?

Can I bypass it to check if it is the problem?

Thanks.

Yes just remove the unit and put your hand inside it and see if the flap moves freely it should spring shut, I sprayed mine with gt85 and freed it all up..

Haven't had the time to try and get it started. Will try on Sunday.

Just remembered, I've got a full set of powerflex bushes to go with it and an apexi avcr boost controller which I haven't tested.
