£29K Vectra

[L14MNP]

Proper job (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Opel-Vectra-Super-Tourer-Racing-Car-Factory-BTCC-Race_W0QQitemZ200443524462QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_De faultDomain_3?hash=item2eab5d756e) :thumb:

[burgo]

actual porn!!! fecking australia though

[MattBrown]

Looks good, bet theres £80k there new no problems!

Someone will have it as a "Track Toy"

[L14MNP]

Aye Burgo. Plenty more where that came from though. it's the first full car I've seen on eBay. Given how few were built they do seem to come up for sale a fair amount (not just Vaux)

IIRC Matt the STW cars were more like £1.5m each.

I've always thought they'd make an awesome hill climb car but I bet you'd need to set aside about £50K per year for parts and servicing - once the little pile ran out. lol

[craig green]

Swindon reversed XE. Proper tool as said.

[burgo]

ive just noticed the alternator running off the cam

Truely a work of art those Swindon CX20XE's. I can never get enough of RML engineering either.

There's a section on the guys vectra ST site with PDF's of loads of components. I just emailed him to see if he can put me onto anyone with similar Nissan stuff. :thumb: Fair play to the guy, normally people that own and run these cars don't share many detailed pics or information.

[muzzy]

I want that so badly :(

[The Simps]

You saved all the pics of the tubs Limp? lol

They must be running some uber special front shocks on that - there can't be much travel in them.

[L14MNP]

lol nah. Just bookmarked the lot.

"Front – RML fabricated McPherson struts, anti roll bar (in various diameter), remote reservoir dampers with externally adjustable bump/rebound, coil over springs, RML designed lower wishbones. "

I'm well pleased. On my travels I have found a pic of something I have wanted to see for ever - P11 ST front upright design:

Quite pleased now. lol

[muzzy]

What would you do for spares on one of these, obviously there's second hand parts but if your racing and need something asap would the original manufacturers be able to supply it or what?

[L14MNP]

RML is the manufacturer mate. They don't make the parts any longer so certain things are in short supply from what I gather.

[Mike]

Cool as fúck!

[muzzy]

I noticed the spares list on that site so I guess there's certain things available but would be a right headache if you suffered serious damage in a race!

[djbrowney]

i hope those wheels look as good on my car as they do on that sex weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee lol

[burgo]

excellent find limp. +rep

[Connor]

[Stuart]

[brainsnova]

Cf Ftw

[burgo]

so call it £31K with shipping..... thats not 'bad' value given 20 sets of mag rims!!!!i didnt even notice the spares package. you could sell off the spares and youve got yourself a free vectra

[bmw156]

thats fooking well nice.

and as stu said, 31k for all that is quite good really.

edit, the 20 wheels alone, sell each set for 700 quid (not sure what they are worth) and you have made back your money already lol.

[Stuart]

for comparrison a mag set of wheels for the VX is £1500.....

[burgo]

thats fooking well nice.

:confused::confused:maths fail

20 wheels equals five sets. sell five sets for 700 each and you've got £3500. therefore you are still 27500 short

Centre lock Mag Dymags aren't that pricey from what I'v seen. TCS was selling them at £50 a pop once over. Hence me wanting some. lol

MY THOUGHTS ALSO

would be work more if they were 5 stud fitment, vec boys go mad for those st200 rims

[Jonlem]

Proper motor, a friend of mine sold his for 18k with spares a few years back.

Cars like that just aren't worth the money anymore as you cannot get the spares parts easy enough.

Gearboxes are porn, weigh nothing at all, we swapped a whole gearset in situ in about 15 mins whilst having a brew lol

20k with spares and trailer, built by Prodrive, that is a equally proper car

[L14MNP]

All of the SUper Tourers seem to go for around £17-£25k. It's madness when you think how much an Xtrac alone is!

I know the guy who has those wheels on his Mondeo now, cant say I'm a fan of the way they are redrilled, I bloody hope he runs some sort of spigot ring !

[L14MNP]

Is he the guy with a black 4dr mk1? I emailed the seller asking if he wanted my ST Mondeo spoiler and he said the black Mondeo belonged to the previous owner and he redrilled them. Small world lol.

From what I could see of the black one there was no spigot ring! :O

I had a link saved of a guy with a decent Alfa 155 Silverstone ST rep and he had PCD adaptors to take the standard centre locks. Much better idea and the way I would go TBH.

[muzzy]

Xtrac 406 box on there for £6800 with selected ratios and diff :cool:

[Jonlem]

This is my mates old car, those are genuine BTCC Magnesium wheels with cenre lock adaptors he had made. IIRC the hub adaptors were about £600, the tool do them up was about £300 on its own !

[L14MNP]

I seem to remember something about a Sierra Cosworth running centre locks in a Ford mag feature. I'm tempted to say Classic Ford. Are they the ones from the Caliber Sierras?

Whether that was or wasn't your mate the guy mentioned the machining of the hubs in the article.

[EDIT] It was a Saph. lol

[Bubba]

i remember seeing cav btcc hubs...£450 a corner. then you need the wheels!

[L14MNP]

and the hubs and the suspension and the brakes and the...

lol - the wheels are probably the cheapest part.

[muzzy]

That Touring Car Spares place is pretty good, considering the parts they sell, everything is really well priced.

[L14MNP]

Yeah I've had a few things from him. I used to visit there when the site counter was barely in triple digits. Damn people finding things out. lol

[muzzy]

I want to buy bits but I've nothing to put them on lol

[Jonlem]

That Touring Car Spares place is pretty good, considering the parts they sell, everything is really well priced.

Tony is alright, awesome contact to have if you run one of these old cars and in terms of what the rrp was on some of those parts he is cheap but then by most peoples standards its ridiculous money lol

I have to be honest I wouldn't want to run a car that is that rare in a race series of any kind, I know thats why that Mondeo was up for sale as it was a bas**rd to get parts for, saying that it changed direction like a Eurofighter and could shake off most things with the right driver but still, one bump and or failure of any kind and its going to be thousands to sort, not my idea of a toy lol

[muzzy]

That would be the only thing that would worry me about running a car like that, would be hard to be committed in a race knowing that an off could end up costing so much.

[Richie_B]

Nice Vec. Or a want it marra...

[L14MNP]

I'd spend my 20 G on a P11 with superior handling (and looks lol)
That said, when I win the Euromillions I want one of each Super Tourer, LOL

[Richie_B]

20k :O. I thought the p11 was going to be more budget than previous nissanspendit?!
