Mark_H Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 The spec: r500 chassis (less engine, gearbox, ecu and exhaust) plus: 3.92 Diff 5 inch Headlights Up rated brake master cylinder 2 lowered floors Powder coating to engine bay and floor. Track day shock absorbers and springs Battery cut of switch 22% steering rack Super light R Roll cage 2nd Set of wheels 0.25-degree rear ear Plumbed in Fire Extinguisher Gearbox - 5-speed Type 9 Straight cut dog box Engine - 2.3 litre Duratec Modified crank and front sprocket to accept a keyway, Forged Omega pistons Arrow steel rods, Heavy-duty big-end bearings, Billet camshafts with adjustable sprockets, Uprated valve springs and caps, Gas flowed ports matched to throttle bodies, Ultra light flywheel and ARP bolts, Dry sump, Lightweight alternator. Minimum expected 250bhp 200lb ft torque The car will be fully dyno'd and run in on the bench. Colour - Honda Irish Green – perhaps this gives a clue as to the person building the car? Price - May seem odd, but I don't know!! I paid £20k for the r500 chassis + whatever the rest costs to build? I feel it will be around £35k all in. Due to be completed within a few weeks Please email at Mark_Hodson@Hotmail.com if you are interested. Thanks Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMMO Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 "Colour - Honda Irish Green – perhaps this gives a clue as to the person building the car?" Is it built by a Japanese leprechaun? 😬 Only joking. I think I can guess the builder. If his previous output is anything to go by it will be a peach.

Mark Piper Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Oh Mark why? Are you keeping the RS then? What a bummer 🙆🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_H Posted October 4, 2004 Author Share Posted October 4, 2004 I have a few things going on at the moment: Starting a new business Moving house A lot of money already tied up in cars (M3 CSL and X5 4.4) A 35k car is a lot of money to have sat in the garage, that I may only use 10-12 times a year! I am not desperate for the money. Just it seems the 35k could be put to better use. But, If nobody shoes any interest, then I suppose I will just have to keep it! The RS - long gone!!! Sold it in 4 days for the asking price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
