Been looking at this car for a while the owner will sell it on to me for £8500.

All in all I like the look of it just hoping you chaps could tell me what you think

Oooh yummy!!


Mezzz - 2/5/06 at 12:58 PM

My thoughts exactly


cossey - 2/5/06 at 01:16 PM

it would cost round about that much to do it yourself so looks good.

Have you bought it then? Auction ended.


TimC - 2/5/06 at 01:32 PM

Good engine but makes the one I sold look like an even bigger bargain IMHO!

Still v.v.v. nice though!

Not sold - reserve not met...

The dash would have to go - ruins a very nice car!


Mezzz - 2/5/06 at 02:41 PM

Reserve was not met but I am talking to the owner

Not bad at that price, GSXR is little known (in a bec), but they are damn strong motors...

My brothers race bike put out an easy 180bhp at the rear wheel, thats more than a zx12r at the crank, and that was with a full system, pc3, mild gas flowing, hot camshaft and with a kit airbox...

MK isnt a bad car either...

I'm pretty sure it's been on ebay before, a few months ago, it failed to sell then too.

When you're "haggling" remember it's been unsold twice now, a bit of leverage to lower the price ?


Hellfire - 2/5/06 at 06:20 PM

Yeah, I've also seen it on e-bay a few times. Mind you, they aren't the easiest cars to sell during the colder months.

I don't see any mention of a dry sump....

what do we opinion on the price??

for that money i can buy a complete Vauxhall Corsa brandly new!!

it ticks in at 7000euro ==> 4605pounds

Regards,

Tks

For that price you can get a top spec STM Phoenix that will run rings around that car on a track.

If you search on e-bay there is a good one listed right now that has been spec'd to run in the RGB class C (fireblade engined). Its also advertised on Pistonheads..

If you particularly want a seven then the price is OK (not cheap) but be aware that GSXr1000's in a front engined Seven are unproven - be careful if you venture onto a track.

Before people shoot me down I have owned and driven both an MK and Phoenix (also driven westies and fury too). I'm just giving an honest opinion

Cheers
