reliant sabre sst unfinished project


Recommended Posts

This car is my mates car, he bought it 3.5 years ago as a mint K reg SST Sabre with 55k on the clock, He took it off the road in winter to do some major mods on the car and 3 years later its still not finished and sitting in the garage! He has lost heart with it and wants to sell :(

I sold him my ECU + LOOM / CAM / BRAND NEW T28 TURBO from my Nissan Silvia. The ECU is Webber and was mapped by Chipwizzards in Manchester 236bhp with loads of torque (on a standard Nissan Silvia engine) He set about fitting all this to the car which he did along with a intercooler and piping / new water rad / full new suspension from (Graham walkers) / new drop links / new uprated clutch etc  

He has fitted a bonnet vent from a mk1 mr2 to get rid of the excess heat and allso fitted a Mitsubishi evo rear spoiler (low line spoiler) both the bonnet and boon need painting

he has fitted a side exit exhaust

after everything was fitted to the car it started :) it would tick over and rev up but would not run on boost under load. something is not quite right with the fuel as its seems to be well over fueling. we suspect the fuel regulator is stuck ???

We had it running in the garage when the rear old seal pop out (must have not tapped it in enough). When he saw it was leaking oil and we would need to remove the engine again his face dropped and he said enough is enough its time to sell :( NO!!!!!!!

this was 4 month ago, i have been trying to persuade him not to sell but he is saying its gotta go :(

including buying the car and all the parts it stands him over £3500. we dont really know what its worth in its current state so i hope its ok with the fourm police if i ask for offers ????

you can call me on 07931590576  the car is in bolton lancs

 (1st start after engine ECU etc)
