Looks like pretty good value to me.

... if you think that looks rough, then you'll be looking at looooooooooooots of cars before you find THE ONE!

A brilliant worded advert to sell a car ??
NOT
Ok maybe its not that rough but needs some TLC, anyone know the car? That roll bar coming forward and into the passenger footwell would have to
go.

Petty-strut removal is straightforward enough.
The Stack unit is a nice bit of kit and would have cost someone a lot of money!
It's certainly worth an email to the seller to get the full spec... and DO push him for the full spec!
That was on PH the other month.. I do like the looks of the F-27 and on a plus note its got a hood. Ideal for those wet damp days that are coming
in. and the price is nice
Whats the F27 like weight wise?
Is there a good/bad blade engine or a preffered one?
Thanks
The F27 is a decent car if well built and can be set up to be quick on the corners. It's one of the lighter weight cars.
Engine wise most of the blade engines are good - the later and more powerful the better but they are only any good for going fast in a straight line.
It's the going round corners which is the tricky bit and that car if well set up with a good driver should be pretty quick
the question is are you good enough to get the performance out of it?
Bizarre exhaust set-up me thinks - it exits on the wrong side!
I was tempted to go and look at this a while back when it was on pistonheads (was at 6k). I have since bought a factory built F27 blade, same age as
this one and I'm quite impressed. I've got a 919 engine in mine and it goes well. It seems a bit skittish, but since I've let the tyre
pressures well down (see other thread) it is sooooo much better. I won't tell you what I paid for mine, but this is a great buy at 4.5k,
especially with the stack dash too.
Ref the exhaust on the wrong side, it is a very strange setup, after previously building a Westfield Megablade. It has got 2 nasty pretty much 90
degree bends in it! But the bore is much larger than my megablade exhaust (I'm assuming to compensate). It does pop n bang really well on the
overrun, which I think is also down to the amount of red hot exhaust pipe before the can!

He's probably used the original bikes downpipes which run under the engine...
Does it look to be a factory build then?
Could do with an under bonnet shot, if it's not a factory build, whoever built it copied the factory dash layout.
you mean the factory put the switches on the passenger side of the dash?? how do you reach them?
