Ive been thinking about doing this for a while. As much as i love this car it didnt turn out to be big enough and meet our needs. I have found a new car i want so i am selling this now. If it dosnt sell here then i will trade it in, but i would rather sell it to someone who will appreciate it.

I have to say now this is not technically a "genuine" 1999 series 2 Autech 260RS. I baught a genuine one in Nov 07 and had the motor rebuilt etc etc. The car ended up failing complience due to some rust and it taking longer then 12months to get to the complience place due to a dodgy panel beater taking 7+ MONTHS to do a weeks work on the car. Please give me a ring regarding this so i can explain it more.

We got the car back and then baught another stagea with a blown motor and swapped EVERYTHING over. So the only non "genuine" autech bit is the actual shell. The car is licensed with RB26 etc.

All the mods and parts have travelled less then 5000km's.

The vehicle's details are:

97 stagea shell

RB26DETT

Arias pistons

Eagle rods

ACL race series bearings

Fully balanced everything (crank, rods, flywheel, clutch etc)

Crank work (crack tested linished etc)

Block work (acid dipped, decked, crack tested)

N1 pumps

Tomie oil restrictor

Tomei sump baffel

Trust MHG

Trust 264deg cam's

All new genuine gaskets through out

New timing gear throughout

Head fully recon'd (lifters set for cams, guides etc)

New engine mounts, Gbox mounts etc

Platinum plugs

2 x Garret GT2860-7's

Apexi PFC

Turbotech bleed valve

HKS pods

HKS tuned length front pipe

HKS catback

Stock dumps and GTR cat

New belts

Cleaned stock injectors

Walbro in tank 600hp pump (not fitted but supplied)

Driveline:

New excedy cerametalic single plate clutch (rated to 330rwkw)

All 260RS driveline: mech diff, autech cradle etc

All new oils etc

Brakes:

New Master cylinder

Factory Autech 260RS brembo's

New Project Mu B spec pads

New rotors all round

New brake fluid

Suspension:

Nismo struts

Front Cusco castor arms

Rear camber arms (not fitted but supplied)

Hicas breaker bar

Exterior:

All factory Autech 260RS bodykit

Factory Autech rims with new Kuhmo ecsta sport KU31's

Fully tinted

new windscreen

Factory HID's

Interior:

Full autech interior

Trust turbo timer

Clarion CD player (dosnt work that well)

Alarm and central locking

Air con just regassed with new reciever drier

factory privacy blind and net

Car made 304ahwhp @ a little under 10psi. Limited by the stock fuel pump (hence the new walbro). Car was tuned at X-speed. They said with the combo on the car with the new pump, EBC and bigger injector you should see 450-460awhp @ 20psi ish, safley reliably, easily and responsively.

OK the bad points about the car:

Needs a new engine fan ( i have another 2nd hand one to go on that isnt cracked)

Radiator needs a clean out (got hot on the dyno but dosnt get hot now driving normally)

Needs new sway bar link bushes front and rear

Needs new castor rods bushes or just fit adjustable castor rods

I will sell the car with ALL the spare parts i have left over (except the busted RB25). PLease check this thread to see what there is, nearly 3k's worth of parts.

I am asking $35000ono as is with all the spare parts.

Im located in Bunbury WA

0419943997

The engine work and all the new parts cost me well over $20k. And like i said its all done less the 5000km's so barely run in. I just dont have the funds to finish it (building a new house) and like i said its not really big enough for us (we have 2 kids and a dog).

I will get some pics up as soon as it stops raining.

Forgot to put in that all the engine work was done by Gavin Wood Autotech on the Goldcoast. I have a reciept for the work. And have receipts for most of the other parts etc.

Not interested in swaps unless you have a Jeep Unlimited Rubicon or a newish 4x4 dual cab.

    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
