    96 RSi Monaco blue Testing the water.. *with pics* £1600

    Right basically i am very interested in a Hybrid thats for sale at the moment... :D But i would need to sell my car first!

    1996 MK1 PH3 RSi Monaco Blue

    I have owned the car for just over a year since that time i havent had any problems at all with the car, it has been washed and waxed every weekend without fail

    The following parts have been replaced since owning the car:

    Alternator (genuine Valeo part)

    A new clutch, clutch cable and transmission fluid fitted literally 5 days ago, gear changes are super smooth no crunches at all!

    New main engine mount

    New brake discs an pads all round (with new rear bearings in the discs) the calipers were all rebuilt cleaned and painted in silver and i fitted a set of Goodrige S/S brake hoses.

    Oil and filter have been changed every 4K with a good engine flush since i have owned the car (had the car for 12K now)

    New plugs and HT leads.

    New ARB bushes.

    New downpipe gasket, bolts and springs.

    Modifcations:

    Spax shocks, with -60mm Gmax springs

    KTR camber correcting bolts

    Hill power induction kit (Not avaliable to buy anymore)

    New design magnex S/S exhaust with de-cat

    Superchipped (none of that cheap ebay resistor crap!)

    Sparco strut brace

    Refurbished williams alloys in anthercite with new toyo proxies 195/45/R15

    Rear wiper removed and a rubber bung put in place

    Smoked side repeaters

    OMP steering wheel

    Sparco gear gater

    I will include all the spares and parts i have which include air box with K&N panel filter, Cat, orignal exhaust and a few other parts.

    This car has had a small fortune spent on it since owning it, i have been to a few local meets (Midlands) and i am sure a few members could vouch for what ive said about this car.

    Also at the start of the year i had the car rolling roaded at Hillpower it made 112.6BHP IIRC, this may seem far away from the BHP of the 16V's but they can easily keep up with them all day long seem to have a lot more low down poke compared to the valvers also quicker to 30mph so ive been told?

    There is probberly a few things ive missed off, i will add these when i remember... the car comes with a huuuge book full of receipts and service history.

    The car is currently on 94,000 but i can honestly say you wouldnt know this as it drives perfectly, no knocks bangs or strange noises!

    I am looking for around £1600.. but open to offers, the spec of the car could be changed to lower the price a little, heres a few photos to wet your appetite



























    Opinions and comments welcome!

    Private plate not included

    nothing. I believe it was knicked from the 19 parts bin. On the 19 it controlled the trip computer but its non-functional on clios. Ive heard people say it canbe used to override the immobiliser but i think this is guff.

    Really nice car BTW - if insurance proves to be too daft for a valver i might be interested,
