KenEvans Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I had a good look at Dave's car at Llandow. It's one of the few you see from a distance and feel the need to take a closer look! It has a fantastic specification and has been exceptionally well put together Edited by - KenEvans on 3 May 2004 17:53:43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave York Posted May 14, 2004 Author Share Posted May 14, 2004 I am keen to move this car so I can begin discussing (beging) with the wife over the next project. I am open to realistic offers. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 This is great car, top spec and monster engine which is built with all the latest know-how to make it extremely powerfull but also reliable. The attention to detail on this car needs to be seen. Some body will pich-up a bargain. You could easily win class 5 with this car. Hurry up and buy it to prevent Dave J walking away with the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave York Posted May 17, 2004 Author Share Posted May 17, 2004 Thanks for the feedback Gav. How about some feedback folks. Is no one looking for the R500 experience? Where should I be advertising this car? Any interest at £26999 I had the car out yesterday and it is glorious!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Only got a 5 speed. *confused*and no roller barrel throttle bodies, certainly items i would want on this spec. Support the 7 Society...... Ehhh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave York Posted May 18, 2004 Author Share Posted May 18, 2004 Thanks for the feedback and the BTT. The 5 speed quaife is stronger, very close ratio & runs straight cut gears for less power loss. At these power levels the 6 speed's longevity can be questionable when the 5 speed is bullet proof. Jenvey DTHTB's are seen as the standard for making good power with the K series. My engine comfortably makes more power and torque than a R500, runs smother and is easier to live with in real world driving. I am not saying there is anything wrong with roller barrel injection of course, just that there is not a distinct advantage to it in this application. Finally if you absolutely had to have the 6 speed and roller barrels you could change them out and sell the Jenvey's and quaife on and still have a very excellent car for less than a standard R400!

jonnyleroux Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Dave, In my experience you'd be much better selling the 5-spd box to someone who knows what it is and slapping a 6-spd Cat Box back in there for the 98% of people who won't/can't get past the spec sheet. In summary, what makes a car fast is not what makes a car sell :-( Just my 2p worth. Good luck with the sale - she sounds like a beaut. J5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
