My Bubble Turbo

[Chris_200]

I am finding myself considering more and more frequently parting ways with my bubble turbo - it really doesn't get used enough and whilst I love it when I drive it, I am finding my self hankering for something a bit more comfortable with a few less seats.

This picture doesn't include the new FMIC - but to give something to jog the memory;




The spec sheet is here -> http://www.rovertech.net/forum/viewtopi ... 28&t=96829

Full rebuild, T28, monster FMIC, Torsen B box. Both sills have been replaced. There are a couple of bubbles appearing over the rear arch which I would repair and blow the car over if I were to keep it.

I know that it is worth more in parts - it will be a very sad day if I have to break it having invested actual blood, sweat and tears into it - I am not sure I could bring myself to do it. At the end of the day I know that it is a T reg bubble.

What do you think I could get for it?

I also have unfitted spares;

W4 steel caged torsen B box
Adjustable, spherical bearing top mounts
Turbo timers
Spare heads
Gearbox cases (Bell housings, etc standard torsen boxes no U spec)

Its a nice car, but resale atm is hit and miss.....i would expect about 1200-1300 depending on t&t. its pot luck

If its as tidy as it looks i'd say £1500. I sold mine for £1100 in the summer and although it was a good conversion the bodywork wasn't great and it was pretty standard.

In the ball park of what I expected then...which sadly seals its fate if I can find the car I am after to replace it

[zrchris]

what you after next ? sticking with rover ?

[Chris_200]

Nope - I am done with Rover after this one. I have enjoyed it and learnt allot - but its time to go Jap.

I am looking for a 350Z - quite specific about what I want, but not in any great rush. I have supercharger plans....

[Chris_200]

Long term lurking...and a bit of a thread from the dead bump

ive just sold my st3 and after something fast and fun got any more pics especially up to date ones and engine bay shots




chris do you still have your blue one

[Chris_200]

My blue one? This one or my jap one?

Will see what pictures I can find - its not definately going up for sale, it depends what price point is found.

The spec link above is still valid

These are the most recent showing bay and fmic - although there is an omp brace now as opposed to the e-tech one

Looks nice. How did you fit the zr front splitter/bumper extension to the 200 bumper? And did you replace the whole rear bumper with a mk1 ZR?

Front splitter was trimmed and tiger sealed when I flushed the front bumper before painting

Rear is a flushed ZR 160 Mk1

I am block hunting if anyone has one that they want shot of at reasonable money
