Hi all,

The time has come for my bro to sell his much loved callipso red GTE. The car is in excellant condition and comes with mot and tax till june (i believe). He loves it, but has recently purchased a speed boat and frontera :eek: so the nova needs to go :cry: Since buying it, he wanted it to last and to use for shows etc and has spent a large amount of money and time on it.

Things that have been done...

- top end re-build, comprising of : head de-coke, skimmed, new stem seals, re-lapped valves, water pump, head bolts, gaskets and kent 285degree cam.
- new ball joints
- new track rod ends
- refurb steering rack
- plugs, leads, dizzy and rotor arm
- spax 40mm springs on the front and rear, and GMax (i believe) rear shocks
- Red Dot grooved discs and pads
- Modified Air Box and K&N Panel Filter

The car made 118.9hp on the rollers a couple of months ago after the re-build. And is a quick little car and drives really really well! Sounds nice too... :cool:

Other than the suspension and the cam shaft, the car is as it was when it rolled off the production line, the interior is untouched and there is no wear to the bolsters at all. Comes with a set of mint 3spoke gte wheels and fairly new tyres!
Its done 94k genuine miles, obviously well below avg for a 21year old car.

The car is great, and i enjoy driving in more than my xe :thumb:

Looking for £1500 ovno

Located in St. Albans Herts.

Any interest contact Paul on 07738283775

Ps. the pics below are when it was purchased. I'll get some up-to-date pics uploaded asap!


Cheers

Chris
