Default Olive 855r 6sp and brembos

Here's the advert and item number 181969570945

Hi this auction is for my my olive 855r, it's been modded a lot and has many bespoke items on the car.

one of 17 olive green 855r's left (I have info on 95% of the uk car so its fairly accurate)

I've gone through it front to back and will mechanically and it's just gone through an mot with the screen as an advisory.

The car has has;

koni yellow adjustables with eibachs

Refurbished Volans 2 x new tyres, 2 very good.

New Ipd adjustable drop links

Ally wishbones (very rare) with removable ball joints

New brake pads front

New braided front brake lines

New front discs 312mm

Refurbished Renault brembo 4 pots

New ferrodo brake pads (front and rear)

To fit rear Porsche 911 4 pot brembos on new 308mm discs

The brakes fit under the standard wheels without spacers front and 5mm rear)
New meyle hd ball joints

New polybushes wishbones

New poly subframe inserts

New spring mounts

New cambelt and water pump

New pcv

New rear main seal

New waterlines including the turbo water return.

New updated heater matrix lines

New brass gear linkage bushes

New poly top mount

New poly lower gearbox mount

New 2.5 stainless rip kit, with all new silicon hoses

New silicon vac lines

New heater matrix

16t with 35k on it (mint)

Nearly refurbed whites.

New boost gauge

Fully service including gearbox oil

V70r blue dials

S60r clutch and flywheel

Egg crate grill with Volvo slash

103k engine that's absolutely mint

The underneath of the car has been undersealed where needed and the inner wings and rear arches as well.

The front drivers wing has also been undersealed on the inside and the bulk head and subframe.

The car is fitted with a 6sp focus st225 box with 30k miles (started out as an auto), which makes the car feel very peppy through thegears, feels like an extra 20bhp and top gear is the same as the 5sp ratio.

The car has a Shem custom / his own map for whites and 16t.

The bad bits are body work, passenger door has a ding and I was going to replace with a good green one and have found one.

Roof has a rust patch I've krusted and filled prior to paint, mark on the front bumper etc, so it needs bodywork attention, however no rust underneath and it's been undersealed.
One of the koni's needs an adjuster as it snapped off.

Needs boot lock and passenger door lock as passenger door lock operates the dead lock, needs to be s70/v70

The interior is black and in good condition, and still has the original 850r grey mats.

Really the car needs finishing off which is mainly pulling together.

No idiots with silly offers or test pilots proof of fully comp insurance please, I don't need to sell the car for monetary reasons, however the parking space would be nice.

Cost me £43 comp this year on classic.

Cash on collection £3750ono

You have done a lot of work on that car,with some interesting mods too.
Did Shem tell you what it is pushing out Bhp wise?
I'm planning on him putting in the 6 speed conversion also, just got to find a good box first.

Shem does use the same box I use, the one I use is a close ratio box.

I had to custom make linkages.

Bhp not massive 260-270 at a guess
