Hi,
Just posting this to get a rough idea really. I have a Blue K Reg R19 16v Hatch with around 88k on the clock with pretty much FSH. It has 17" OZ alloys lowered 60mm on uprated springs and dampers, EBC Turbo Discs with new greenstuff pads and Yokahoma A539 Tyres. It has a full straight through stainless exhaust and a K'&'N induction kit. The interior is leather and has a MOMO steering wheel and Yellow lockwood Dials. The Handling is fantastic.
I bought the car as above almost two years ago for £1000 with 79k on the clock. I have since spent around £5000 on replacement parts, servicing, maintenance and labour from various places including Renault dealers.
Parts include:
Gearbox x2
Clutch x 2
Cambelt and Pulleys
De-cat Pipe (Silenced) - I still have the CAT
ABS Resevoir
ABS Pump
Throttle Potentiometre (think thats right)
Radiator
Front Stub Axles
Thatchcam Cat 2 Imob and factory alarm
Engine out of a RCLIO 16V with 77k about 2 months ago
Engine Mounts
Oxygen Sensors
Battery New about a month ago
8mm K-tech Racing Leads
Uprated NGK Plugs
Major Service parts and fitting from Renault Dealers
Interior switches
Sony Head unit
Jbl GTO front coxials
Jbl GTO 6 x 9's
(All wired for a sub and amp to go straight in)
Also have a spair Altenator and Starter Motor and Tailight
Will have MOT and Tax
This is a much loved car by an owner who should have sold it ages ago!
It has been my project and is almost complete. If I'm being honest I just can't afford it anymore.
It needs (THAT I KNOW OF):
Lower Ball joints
New Exhaust Rubbers
Bad bits:
The battery light come on about a week ago. The car runs fine. I have been told that it is probably a loose connection to the starter but as I mentioned I have both an altenator and starter motor spare. It does seem to Hesitate when idling occasionally. Judders (NOt very often) when accelerating (I have been told by BBTUNING that this is easy to fix?)
few stone chips on bonnet
I don't want to sell this car but I have to as I am skint!
I will be uploading pictures.
Could anyone gove me a rough estimate of what they would offer?
Inspections are welcome (I live in Basildon Essex)
Cheers
Jake |

They are not worth anythign sadly, if it was a clio you would get over a grand easily. |

Ouch!
I know what you mean though they are worth more in bits!
I really don't want to sell it but I can't afford to keep throwing money at it.
Don't think i'll make back that 5k lol

Really?

Alloys on there own are worth at least a ton so I might just salvage and scrap.
Shame though its a bloody nice motor when its running fine.
Cheers Mate |
