Be a man & get a truck.

Sadly the mighty fastra is no longer on the road. I just can't justify the repairs necessary so I'm going to break it for parts

So I will have the following bits

- 18" Team Dynamic Pro Race 1.2s with Toyo T1R
- coilovers
- airtec intercooler
- vxr steering wheel
- hybrid turbo
- bosch injectors and new pump with less than 8k miles
- full high end audio install
- xp kit
- berg mirrors

Then all the usual bits and bobs. I can honestly say I loved every minute with this thing.

I would also sell it complete but I doubt I will get any offers that make that worth my while.

It's using alot of oil with suspected cracked ring. It also burst a coolant pipe or radiator which was the straw that broke the camels back

Fix it go on you know you want to.

 

[big_pete]

I do want to but there has to be a point where enough is enough lol

Pah!

 

[carmad.]

how much for vxr steering wheel?

 

[carmad.]

also what repairs does it need i have a full 1.7 derv engine and box coming out off mine (cheap )

 

[Chris Mac]

Stick an engine in for a couple of hundred quid, if everything else is fine it's worth it

 

[big_pete]

And with that it's provisionally sold, where it will live on to fight another day.

Wheels? Talk to me!

Wheels? Talk to me!

Argh. I'm crying tears as big as October cabbages here. Second dibs if the sale doesn't go ahead bro. PM me your price

 

[Mr.Mint]

And it's home!

I didn't even go to see it, but Pete's description was perfect and it's a grand wee van. It will get a heart transplant and a few bits tidied up and should be back to work in no time.

Thanks again @big_pete

 

[big_pete]

Did you take it a spin? It's some driving thing and it can fairly move lol!

 

[Normski]

Hope you negotiated a nice discount if you retain the advertising lol

My yard is about 100yds from the recovery man's yard, so I wouldn't call it a drive as such. It seems grand and I'm sure it will be fine when it's sorted.

Thanks again!

I don't think the stickers will be on it for too long tbh lol

 

[Mr.Mint]

It lives...

 

[Ben P]

@big_pete is this your old van ??

 

[bmurf]

Also seen this on youtube and thought the same

 

[big_pete]

Lol loads of people have thought that's mine. Mine was bought by @Mr.Mint and was given a new lease of life.

I really miss it, was the first thing I had properly modified in years

Says a lot about the engine that it can take that sort of power. We had a Vectra with the 1.9 with just a DTUK box that brought it up to 215bhp IIRC. Pretty impressive how well it pulled.
