encorewrc · #1 (**permalink**) 16-02-2008, 10:57 PM

I am preparing to Sell my pride and Joy. Have too many cars and need to sell this one as I am going through a change of circumstances and have lost parking spaces!!!! I thought I would let people know it will be up for grabs as I have a lot of interest and been pressed to sell it countless times by performance car club members etc... It is a stunning Vauxhall Vectra. Its 1999 model 2.5 V6. It is finished in Velvet green and has low mileage for its age. What's so special you may ask.. Well Its classed as an SRI so comes with the cheaper SRI insurance (about group 14) but... It is fully kitted out, inside and out, with electrics to GSI spec. That's Top of the Range sports model (192bhp from standard with 0-60 in 7.5 seconds).

It comes with Full Irmischer GSI front and rear bumper and side skirts fitted at the factory.
GSI Recaro Seats and interior
Brushed Titanium dash board
Electric front drivers seat, Air con, Electric mirrors and windows.
Vauxhall Cat 1 Factory GSI Alarm system with dead locks and electronic engine and fuel pump immobilisers.
4 GSI alloy wheels, 3 of which could do with a refurbish due to minor scuffs - and 1 spare alloy without tyre.
The interior is in great condition. Windows have factory fitted tints so 100% legal

Engine is giving an output of about 270 bhp to the fly wheel. This is un - proven but I am very familiar with these cars and its the fastest I have driven without a Supercharger. The reading comes from a dyno day with Essex Racers.com so no print out was issued.
It is fitted with 3.0l VXR supplied Cam Shafts
Courtney ECU mapping
4 bar fuel regulator
Magnex Stainless back box exhaust with Remus stainless sports pipe. I also have the Courtney Sports cat available but not yet fitted which should give about another 10bhp and is road and MOT legal to use.
The car is fitted with NGK Iridium plugs and Splitfire HT Leads, fuel computer/FECU upgrade and MSD tuned.
I bought the Car from LS Motorsport who competed all the above work.
Cam Belt, Cam pulleys, water pump, Oil pump, and one head gasket replaced 12 months ago due to the cam belt change. and a dip in compression. I was then told by Whitmores Vauxhall that both head gaskets should have been replaced together. I have been saving up and am having them BOTH replaced again for safety sake. I intend on using this for my everyday car until it is sold as my diesel daily drive is giving up the will to live!!! (hence doing the work now)
I was asked on 0-60 times = 6 seconds now and top speed over 160mph (clocked at 168mph at Santa top speed runs on VVOC.com club day a couple of years ago)

Car also has Angel Eye projector beam headlights which are 10% brighter than standard head lights giving a blue tint like the BMW's etc
On board Fuel/Trip/Timer/Clock/Mileage/ av speed etc computer all at the touch of steering wheel controls
Up rated ProDrive Suspension and 20mm lowered on a normal vectra (with no compromise to ride comfort)
Upgraded Braking power with Goodridge Braided brake lines, Black diamond pads and discs Drilled and Grooved brakes on the front and Brembo on the rears.

I really don't want to let this car go but I must, These are going on Ebay for over £5-6K with these modifications.... but I want it to go to a good home!

102K miles genuine with loads of history and if the price is met, Before the car is sold I will be Taxing it for 6 months and having it MOT'd. (as of this weekend coming) Its been parked for the last 6 months due to not being able to afford to run 8 cars on the road!! £4000 ovno. It has a minor scuff on the lower splitter of the front bumper but again, I intend to get this fixed before its sold. It will be ready for collection by the 8/9th March. Viewing before hand is welcome.

Cheers
