for sale Twin Turbo GZ auto - 400 bhp (1993)

Twin Turbo GZ auto - 400 bhp (1993)

I never thought I would sell this car and I certainly wasn't planning on doing it now but due to having a dog (don't worry he has never been in this car) and a now a six week old baby boy it is not practical for me to keep anymore. I have always ran a second car along side this (a civic Vti) which is used for work and transporting the troops but now I have a family I want to sell both and just run one practical car which is why I am selling. So, lets start with some history:-

The car was imported into the country in June 2006 by a company called Vine Place situated in Durham at the time. According to them and the Log book it has only had 1 previous owner all its life.

I am the second owner and have owned it since July 2006. It came into the country with approximately 72,500km which translated to 45k miles. Vine Place convert the Speedo and odo to read miles before the car is sold and in the 4 years I have owned it I have racked up a total of 23,864k miles making a total of 68,864k miles! That's just over 4k miles per year on average since new! To show how little it has been used I have covered 2k miles last year from MOT to MOT which is another reason why I cannot justify keeping it.

The car was MOT'd on 04/08/2010 and passed with flying colours

6 Months Tax

The car has mostly been garaged while I have owned her and she has had many parts fiited over those 4 years, some maintenance and some performance etc. Lets start with maintenance:-

I have paperwork showing what I believe to be service records while it lived in Japan, however I prefer to do all my own routine service work with my cars so I know exactly what has went into it , therefore I have no garage records of servicing while I have owned her. However, I do have some receipts to show work done such as timing belt, suspension etc.

I have just put over £600 worth of brand new vredestein ultrac sessanta tyres all round just 1 month ago, MOT shows 7mm all round on every tyre!

Engine oil and filter is changed every 3k miles (only 1k miles covered between changes this year!) and I only use Silkolene Pro s 5W40..

All Fluids have been changed this year in April (always before the car goes back on the road after the winter) which include Engine oil, Diff oil, 2l change of ATF, Brake Fluid with DOT 5.1, coolant, and PAS Fluid. I have also just changed the plugs with NGK BKR7EIX (iridium plugs).

Also had a brand new calcium battery this April.

The car has had its Timing belt and water pump changed in 2007 and had brand new Bilstein Shocks and the newer VVTi suspension springs fitted in 2008 by a company called Formula 1 in Byker, Newcastle.

Brake Disks and pads changed in 2008 with 3G Grooved and Dimpled Disks and Chris Wilson Fast Road Pads.

The car has always drove very well and has no mechanical problems that I am aware of, having just passed its MOT less than a week ago is reassuring for both myself and hopefully the new owner.

There are many thousands of pounds been spent on this car over the years and I consider it to be a full BPU package. The interior is clean with no rips or tears in the leather and the engine bay has taken quite a while to collect all the bits and bobs but I will let the photos do the talking.

Finally, I hope the new owner has as much joy from the car as I have had but its time I moved on to more practical things (for now anyway)

The Price - I would like £8000 for her now reduced to £7500 NOW £6995

Slow time at the moment mate, nobody seems to be selling quickly at the moment

Surely peak torque = 426 not 370?

Good luck with the sale!

Good luck with the sale!

Yeah I thought that when I got the print out but never asked. I have used that dyno before as well as other members on here and their readings seem spot on so dont know if it was type error or something. Maybe that figure is manually typed their to help people read their graph and they just put the wrong number in we went on a dyno day so was very busy, Im sure the operators head was full of figures lol

Yeah I think they have measured using the wrong axis, i.e. the right axis. 426 me thinks

GLWTS

nice car - love the engine bay...good luck with sale!

ah, I see it now, your right, They must have just looked at the wrong axis, easy mistake I suppose on a busy day lol. Well I guess that means I have 401.2 bhp and 426lbft torque Thanks for clearing that up

nice car - love the engine bay...good luck with sale!

Thanks dude. it took a while to collect all those bits. I have just got it the way I wanted and now Im selling I need a more practical car for now and I just want to run 1 car instead of 2, it means only one of everything tax, insurance, mot etc. I will get a fun car agin at some point but maybe a big V8

Lovely car mate, good luck with the sale.

I know you've been in the scene for pretty much the same time as me and I've always thought you've taken care/modded your car to my standards, which is credit to you

Thank you very much I am glad others like my taste in mods, I tried to do things that suit the car and hopefully appeal to the majority of people rather than spoil it but everyone has their own opinions and taste so what one likes another may not but thats what makes us human lol.

looks real tidy!

Your car's a stunner mate and worth every penny for a completed BPU car! Free bump for ya

Sorry just to clarify before i get a load of abuse im not trying to say you is expensive i think its at a good price considering all the extra.

Sensible offers considered

Price Dropped to £6995, willing to take a px for something decent with 5doors, sporty and a min of £3.5k my way, 03+ vectra gsi, MG ZS 180 mk2 hatch etc

you have PM matey

Dan

Wow, at that price you're practically giving it away!

Lovely motor and shame it has to go so low but it is just before Xmas

Good luck mate

Wow, at that price you're practically giving it away!

I know, its killing me it must be worth more in bits

This car is stunning! A heads up on the MG ZS front though - I had one of these as my previous car so a word of advice, dont buy one! I had one that only covered 27k and by the time it hit 30k the hadgasket was on its way out so got the upgraded gasket kit from landrover for this which wasnt cheap. Commonfault.com and not worth the hassle.
