Gotheschu 1 Report post Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) Well the time has come, selling the racecar to pay for another project that suits me better at this stage. Few people have approached me about selling it and some of the "talk" offers have been good and its a lot of money for me that I can put to a more productive cause. I'm only 16 and I've realized I don't want all my money invested in a race car that will get limited use as it's expensive for me to run. Really selling as I have seen another car that I really like and have got some fun plans for it, and is cheaper. Need to pay off some things that are annoying me every month ( monthly payments ). I'm only 16 and I've realized I don't want all my money invested in a race car that will get limited use as it's expensive for me to run. I'm going to go about a car more like Josh "Hybrid" has done with his E30. A weekend E30 that kicks arse round a track. Except Ill use it all time. Suits me much more, I can still have fun at the track. Anyway =) 87 Pre-Facelift 320i X2 Jamex Seats and Harnesses. Race Series spec wheels and road tires along with 2 used series semi slicks. Round $1500 worth of Panel Work done to it. New Dash Board fitted. Race series springs. Aftermarket shocks. Big arse radiator. Fulling Homologated with a logbook. Expensive Rollcage done by Chris at CageFX. OMP Deep Dish Steering wheel. 325i Front Calipers and vented rotors with plenty of pad left with drums on the back. Engine is running fine, down on power a bit but just needs a good tune. A complete novice driver to the track and driving a manual ( myself ) Got round hampton in a 1:36.1 timed by a iPhone so not really accurate to the tenth of a second but close enough. Custom exhaust system that isn't the best at the moment, just needs a little bit of work. I'm after $8000 for it, which a few guys have said is very reasonable as it only needs a WOF, series shocks, 4:1 diff and 2 more tires to race in the E30 Series. Considering also theres a coupe on trademe with no where near the work this one has had for 4500 =) Any questions just PM me or post below. Test Drives welcome round the block.

Grant 4 Report post Posted January 10, 2011 Jack A quick bit of advice for your advert (on Trade Me). Accentuate the positive (i.e have all the good points about the car listed first), then outline any faults. If I were to read it for the first time, and the first thing I read is that it has a custom exhaust system that doesn't work too well, I would be somewhat put off, and read the rest of the advert with a negative taste in my mouth. If I were you, I'd still mention this, but only after you have pointed out all of the good points (and your car has many very good points). Just my thought anyway. Best of luck with the sale. I personally think you are making the best decision, as unless you had good financial means or backing, having a dedicated race car would be difficult to operate as a 16 year old with limited financial resources. It would be sad to see it parked up for 95% of the time because you were unable to keep it running at the level required for racing. Having a more road biased car, that can be used on the track sounds like a good plan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
