Hi all
i have a 19 16v chamade phase 2 and been thinkin bout selling it was wondered if any one was intrested i have spent a lot of money and a lot of time on this car had it since the start of the year i bought it drove home went 2 work and a couple of days later whilst driving home it cut out i restarted it and there was a loud knocking noise from the bottom end,

so i replaced the engine with 1 from a scrap yard which after a month blow the head gasket which was due to the thermostat stuck shut and overheated

so replaced the headgasket and while the head was off i bought a head which had been ported and polished and had reprofiled cams. the valve stem seals and the core plugs in the head had been replaced. when i refitted i used new head bolts and new gaskets and a new thermostat. replaced the cambelt too

couple of days later i noticed that there was coolent dripping out s oi pressure tested the cooling system and found that a core plug on the back of the block was leaking so replaced all three.

there was also a small leak from the gearbox which only needed a new selector shaft seal so sorted that.
have replaced ns front spring as was missing half a coil and replaced both the top strut bearings

i also fitted a scorpian stainless steel exhaust systed with a DTM tail pipe

i had 2 replace the clutch cable and mechinism as the pedel snapped as the cable was very stiff so has had a new pedel and linkage.

i fitted a nokia handsfree kit it fits my nokia N70 so dont no what else it will fit it has a bluetooth connection so will work on any phone with bluetooth

it just passed its MOT the middle of june so has 11 months only failed on headlight aim and handbrake was poor so sorted that.

it has karn rsr replica wheels 17 inch with newish toyo proxis tyres on front its got leather seats K&N air filter

there are a few marks on it it isnt too bad there is a few stone chips on the front bumper couple of little shallow scrarchs and 2 little dents on ns rear quater bout the size of a penny and drivers window needs help ant the very top

any questions just message me nice up together car loads spent
