My sherry pearl vr6

[Gibbo 10]

Finally got around to giving the bay a bit of a tidy the other week and took off the jetex filter as it sounded a little to boy racer ish and swaped back to yhe original airbox with a few holes drilled in for good measure. Lol

[Hairyarse 10]

That looks tidy. What did you paint the inlet with?

[Gibbo 10]

Thanks. It was just a Matt black rattle can spray job, came out really well.

Sadly I'm selling this next April onwards. as I've decided to make the move to a Porsche 996/997

 

I'll post up my own detailed classified add in the New Year, but here's a little preview.

 

So after purchasing my Raddo VR6 from Gibbo back in Nov 2015 @ 120,193 miles, even though there was no sound of any rattle or anything . The paranoid freak in me could not relax until I new the chains/tensioner were sorted. So was booked into Stealth 7 months later @120,681 miles. Was also talked into getting the SP 263 cams and clutch at the same time.

 

I've spent close to £3,500k on it in my 3yrs of ownership.

 

Its now just over 122k Miles, not been driven hard at all, and not even decided what I let it go for. Some guidance here would be appreciated.

 

PS: Gibbo if your still on this forum and interested in buying it back let me know, she's still lookin tidy as when you owned it. ��

Yeah, that cherry color

GLWTS. Should have no problem selling, sounds like a lovely low miles and well maintained car in one of the rarer colours.

Hi mate,

 

If you need any tips and what to look out for feel free to message me i know these cars like the back of my hands, had a couple of 996 , at a miniumum make sure you get the the cylinders boroscoped as it's not a rumour they are like choclate, I had a 10 k rebuild on a 996.2 2003 c2 with only 62k on the clock and full dealer service history and I really do look after my cars. Still love Porchse when they are working but I stick to a Merc pre 2000 V8 now for the reliability and there tiger tank build quality. If you can strech it go for the 997 Gen 2 , I actually am a bit odd though and prefer the look of a 996 compared to most. My biggest regret was not getting a 964 in white with blue leather back in 2004 only on for 12k but ended up buying some scaffolding instead:bonk:

So took Raddo out of 6 months storage last weekend to get it MOT'd, which went through with no advisories, and decided I cant bring myself to selling it (Just Yet!)

 

Still also undecided on which Porsche, but in the meantime picked up another straight 6 coupe I always liked the look of to add to the collection.
