Default Vulture thread V70R Saffron.

Right guys, anyone interested if i part the R? need to downsize and get something more economical,smaller, lower insurance and potentially faster so a T4 is on the cards, going to look at one tomorrow.

I am wanting too fit the 19t/ 3" dp onto the T4 (I could be persuaded if the price is right) but otherwise everything else that won't fit on the T4 will be for sale.

Gary.

Can't believe i am doing this, as the R looks the nuts now and i am waiting to buy a Nautic Blue T4.

HI Rick to be totally honest the car is worth more in parts. i will get over 4k for her by breaking it.



Current mods, Rica custom map, Angled 19t, THS 3" IC and pipework(aircon still retained and recently regassed), 850r SMF with new clutch pack, 63mm TB, stainless 3" dp with sports cat 3" bore exhaust too tailpipe, Alcohol solutions WI(pump and container in the boot of car), 6 pot KAD calipers with 2 piece AP 330mm discs (plus S60R discs that i have been doing a project on and are nearly ready too fit, i have used DS3000 pads and new DS2500 pads) as well as AP pads that are currnetly on the car, refurbed Blue injectors, CDA, nearly new 19t actuator recently fitted, pair of OMP race seats on manual sliders(20kg lighter each side than the elecy seats, which i still have), new rubber top mounts, new drop links, abs ecu just professionally repaired with warranty (all for the MOT), 4 new Avon ZZ3 tyres, I have tried to keep the car standard looking on the outside, but it does have the updated Crystal headlights and indicators with the C70 egg crate grille, colour coded eye brows were added last week, years mot, 6 months tax,

I must be mad lol,

With another live remap i reckon you will be pushing at least 290 maybe even nearer 300whp.

HTH Gary.

But .. But .. you can't break it!

Cars like mine - Cat D repaired, abused all its life .. thats the kind of ca rthat should be broken. Saffron V70R .. Never unless its damaged / Too costly to repair.

Sorry - just the viewpoint of someone who is shopping for a late (reasonably standard!!) V70R.

I know what you are saying, but the car if i sold her would fetch about 3k, if i broke her it will be over 4k, i am totally brassic at the moment and i owe the missus 2k for the work on the car in the last year that she payed for, now it is time for me to move on and get a smaller car and something different i can spend my time on, as i have had 8 years now of the 70 series classic shape cars..

If you do break her then i would be very interested in the Front Bumper with grills, Fog lights and Grills, if it has the Aluminum interior Strips aswell, Also the Handbrake console, the ICV and the vacum unit that it connects to.

If you could price for all please including delivery, that would be great.

Thanks In Advance
