Originally 1.4 16v Sport 1996 on a P-plate. Car has done 92000 miles, but only about 1500 in the last year. And about 6000 the year before that. Will go back onto original plate when sold. MOT due next month which Im getting done, cos I hope it wont sell too soon, Want to be able to use it for this summer, but advertising now. Tax will expire end of September, when it will be SORN'd again(took it off road last september for 6months cos of crap winter roads/weather)., and that is when I will be looking to let the car go, late 2006.
I'm not really going to entertain p/x's, mainly because people are going to expect more for their cars than I would be prepared to give them for them!
The car is my pride and joy, always kept under a cover and will be very sad to see it go. But as is the case with most people, I have to move on. 
Unless you have something nice to say, please dont reply 
Engine
Cavalier Turbo C20LET Engine running approx. 300bhp.
Hybrid KKK Turbo, EDS Phase 3 Management with 5 stage boost switch, Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator, Actuator Strengthening spring, Forge Front Mounted Intercooler, Enlarged Top Hat Inlet, Metal Boost pipes with Silicone Pipe joins, Bailey Dump Valve, PiperCross Induction Kit, 2 1/4" Bore Exhaust system with Magnex Backbox with 3" Tailpipe and no cat. Battery moved into boot, header tank moved over to allow larger boost pipes.
Various powdercoated bits, pics of that to be added soon
F28 6 Speed Gearbox with Quaiffe ATB Slip Diff, Cossvaux Driveshafts and one cossvaux hub and one Mtech from vtuning(one hub broke, cossvaux couldnt supply in time so bought one from elsewhere). Clutch gear is now different, has Helix 4 paddle clutch friction plate and cover plate, replaced release bearing while i was in there and 3.5Kg lightened Ally Flywheel. That lil' lot cost over £700!
Brakes
300mm Big discs using Brembo 4pot Calipers off Lancia Delta Evolutione. Work very well and havent had them fade on me once.
Suspension
Cossvaux 2.0 ltr springs and Bilstein Shocks(the good ones, not the cheap things they do aswell!!)
Bodywork
PSG Wide Arch Kit with modded front bumper, Washer Jets removed and smoothed, Bad Boy Bonnet, Smooth Boot, M3 Mirrors with Indicators, Side Repeaters Removed and Smoothed, Resprayed in White with Blue Pearl, my dream colour and done to a very high standard, actually paid £2000 to ensure a perfect job for the respray in May 2005.
Interior
Cobra Imola 2 Bucket Seats in Blue
New Black Carpet(not actually even put it in yet!!)
Stereo System
Negotiable, CD player, MD player, Cassette player, etc.etc. all open to discussion.
Wheels and Tyres
Team Dynamics Pro Race 2 in Gloss Black with 205/40/17 Kuhmo rear tyres, plenty of tread on them, good hard wearing tyres these, actually!! and Michelin Pilot Sports on the front which have only done a trip to Birmingham and back really, so as good as brand new!
Performance Figures, I suppose youd be looking at low 13, high 12 second 1/4 miles, 0-60 in around 5.3-5.5 and top speed of around 150ish mph.
I want £5500 for her, very well cared for an maintained.

what driveshafts and hubs have you got on it? Have you had any reliability issues with the car since the conversion work has been done? when was the conversion done? Has it got PAS, ABS and electric windows and what clutch are you using?

Cossvaux Driveshafts and one cossvaux hub and one Mtech from vtuning(one hub broke, cossvaux couldnt supply in time so bought one from elsewhere). Clutch is a Borg and Beck friction plate with lightened XE flywheel and Borg and Beck cover plate and GM thrust bearing.
Car was originally converted to C20XE in January 2004, then the LET went in June 2004.
There have been a few issues with the car, but all problems that have now been sorted.
It has power steering and leccy windows, sunroof aswell. Not got ABS.

Cool, I'm in no hurry to sell, so if no one comes up with the money in the meantime mate, it should still be here for you.
