IanG1 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I know it’s the wrong time of the year for this but thought I would offer up for sale to see if any interest. Car is a factory built 2001 Megablade in post office red that I bought from a wanted ad I placed on this forum back in August 2012 (The previous owner also sourced it from here) This is an original lightweight mega chassis designed for a bike engine not a conversion. Has an age related (2001 “Y”) not a Q plate. Only used as a road car since my ownership. Basic spec is 919cc Honda Fireblade motor in standard tune and uses original bike airbox with filter and jet kit installed. I converted it to stick coils from a later blade which work well. Gearbox is fine, no slipping out of second gear on acceleration which is a common blade problem. Quaife reverse gearbox (oil changed last spring) these are a bit agricultural but does the job and has a catch tank and breather fitted which allows any oil that is expelled to drain back in as it cools down. LSD sierra rear diff and runs rear disks and has front ARB. Westfield 4 pot front calipers and fabricated uprights 13 inch Race Dynamic 1.2 wheels with 205/60 Toyo 888 tyres RAC roll bar and runs aero screen. SABELT four point harnesses. Detachable MOMO steering wheel, carbon dash panel and the gear lever is mounted up next to the wheel so falls to hand nicely giving a quick positive shift. Comes with half doors which are useful for keeping the draught out in cooler weather and a full tonneau cover which is useful to stop kids climbing into your car when parked up LOL Stripes are only vinyl and will easily remove if not to your taste. No work needed all I would do is an oil and filter change in spring and good to go for another year. Looking for £8700. Happy to answer any questions from serious buyers, car is MOTed till April 2015 (No advisories at last two tests) is taxed and insured so can take any serious prospective buyers out for a test ride (weather permitting LOL) Not in any rush to sell and only advertising here at the moment,car can stay tucked up in the warm garage if need be till next spring but as I found original cars do not come up that often and this is a nice example of the breed in lovely condition. This has been a great car for me, sounds and looks awesome and guaranteed to turn heads and spark a conversation from passers-by when you park it up. Still not 100% sure I want to part with it but I have an itch for a flat six that I would like to scratch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
