Hello,

The car looks very tidy.

Does it have real history: receipts and service book stamps? How many owners before you? Any interior and engine bay pictures, please?

Cheers,

T

I've owned the car for 9 months and have a box full of history with it as well. Had over £5k spent by previous owner in the time he owned it.

MOT till Jan 2010 and tax till Sept 2009.

It has all the usual R refinements and all in working order.

It has a Rica ECU upgrade which is supposed to be producing 280-300bhp. It has an uprated exhaust and a BSR Air filter (Sounds quite nice on boost). I recently serviced the car and had new oil/filter, brake fluid, Cambelt, Volvo spark plugs, Forge recirc blanking plate and rear brake caliper pins and springs.

The chassis is where most of the money has been spent though. The suspension has been binned in favour of Koni FSD shock absorbers with H&R Springs and front and rear IPD anti-roll bars finished with a Volvo front strut brace. The brakes have been replaced with Drilled discs all round upgrading to 302mm discs on the front with Ferodo DS2500 pads and Goodridge hoses.

The wheels are the standard 17" Titans with 205/45 R17 Pirelli P zeros' all round.








Since those pictures it's also had a motorsport front splitter fitted also.


As people always seem to ask when wanting to buy a car, my reason for sale is I love the Volvo but unfortunately 9 months without RWD is taking it's toll. I need to go back to what I enjoy so i'm looking at an R32 GTS skyline already drift prepped as I'd like to compete in the BDC if possible.

It's a hell of alot of car for the money and would really need to be seen to appreciate just how good it is.

I'm pricing it at £1900ono purely as it has quite high mileage at 190k but don't be put off by that as you wouldn't be able to tell.

If interested please contact me via pm to answer any questions etc or on this mob No. 07990 811886

I love this car and don't mind talking to anyone about but be courteous people and no calls after 21:00 please.

Regards
Rob
