That silver one has been up for sale ages. Got some nice bits on like the ohlins but its not a stage 2 and I think the BHP figure is a bit optimistic. Wont be as quick as a proper stage 2.

Good bit of turbo bashing by him though

Looking at the courtenay stage1 figure (on their website) its pretty much spot on IMO.

That is the current stage one using the same sc as my own however. Anyway I am not on here to talk about anyone's car apart from my own. 203hp is as far away from 255 as 203 is from a standard car pretty much. I don't think comparing the two are comparing apples with apples.

Right I move house in 10 days, and ideally would like to have this sorted before then. Bargain of the year £10,999 no offers

[Rosssco]

If I hadn't already located and committed to buy another nice VX, I'd be sorting out a flight right now, bargain!

[jonnyboy]

Bloody hell I'm getting tempted here. Just spent up though unfortunately!

[ArticMonkey]

Mullet, check your PM's!

[mulletmaster]

Nice speaking to you earlier Stu, you have reply!

[Hark]

Has this been reduced by £1k?

[mulletmaster]

Yes was 11999 now 10999

[mulletmaster]

Still no one turned up with any money! Getting somewhat fed up with 10pms a day from people asking every minutia of the car and then seemingly zero interest in buying either!

[Rosssco]

Although its undoubtedly a bargain, people will want to know as much as they can about the car before considering making the journey for an actual look... What about other selling tactics like making a short walk around video with a decent camera, and perhaps even a short driving video with a mate filming as the supercharger comes on song.. Might just be enough to sway a few undeciders... Its weird, because I bet a few people will have a 'took good to be true' mentality, which we all think sometimes.

Car may be sold. Was at the lotus club Ireland today and one fella hated being so thoroughly outgunned in his s2 exige he wants to buy it! Unfortunately he wants it for a racing series over here, both he and I agreed it is much to clean for this, I would be very reluctant to sell it on to be raced, but his money spends better than all the other people talking about buying it. He is going to run it past his partner who he races with and us to get back to me by Monday. Thanks for the advice though rossco, I thought the blog was fairly comprehensive? I haven't seen anyone advertise with a video...perhaps a but cheesy?

you are not going to sell your car because a potential buyer wants to race it?! you plonker rodney!! sell it! thats just like saying sorry i dont want you to buy it as you might crash it

[mulletmaster]

Oh I'd sell it to him all right, like I said his money is as good as anyone elses. If I had the choice it would go to someone who would cherish it a bit more though, not someone who wants to rag it senseless round a track just to keep miles off his exige. I don't have the choice though so if he comes back with £ though it's his to do as he pleases!

[mulletmaster]

Right have ended up buying a turbo yesterday...impule purchase at a price I couldn't resist. Please no more timewasters but this must go!

[Hark]

lol Surely the turbo was more than yours though and can't be much faster? Why the change? Thought you needed the money for the house? Turbo wasn't that cheap blue one was it?

[mulletmaster]

Turbo cost thousands less than mine but needs a lot of work. I needed a mode of transport after my own goes, love vx's and love a project so it ticked all the boxes. It wasn't for sale on the open Market, a guy at the lotus club asked me if i would be interested when he heard I was selling my own. And yes I most certainly need the money, now more than ever.

[mulletmaster]

Oh and it's stage 2 and the sc has the legs on it by a bit.
