Mint 340 1.8 16v
Mint 340 1.8 16v
Selling it because I want something different. It is sad to let it go but life moves on . It is still in mint condition,bar the bottom end has gone. I have found an engine for it on the cilowilliams forum for 80pounds but do not have the money to get it and put in the car.
Spec -
Engine-
1.8 16v F7P running fuel injection. Manifold modified to accept throttle body to the opposite end (keeping the heater) I have now just spent a 140quid on having this properly welded by a specialist to solve the problem i had when driving the car and the throttle body falling off as it had been put together with only liquid metal!! . Fuel system consisting of Facet red top lifter pump, stainless fuel swirl pot (made by me) and modified intank Walbro injection fuel pump to work inline. . 1.7 Rad fitted, performance red 8.5mm silicone ignition leads. Bottom end has given up ad seems to still run put sounds like someone has poured bag of nails init when hitting 2000rpm.
Transmission-
Brand new 1.7 clutch kit fitted. Original 1.4, 5 speed gearbox, welded diff. Has new gearbox and diff to go with the car as the one on the car sounds like its on its way out. Spare prop supplied.
Suspension-
Front suspension consists of refilled dampers (ep80/90) and cut down Rear MR2 springs. The underdamped feeling that I previously experianced has gone now that the dampers have bled properly as I was told they would.
Rear suspension consists of 2" lowering blocks and front landrover 90 dampers.
Wheels-
Weller steel wheels 13x7 painted satin black with gloss red rims. 175/70/13 tyres all with plenty of tread.
Exterior-
Side exit exhaust. Close to mint bodywork and paint. Satin black grille.
Interior-
Front subaru WRX bucket seats with red inserts, welded directly to Volvo seat runners. Sony cassette player with CD changer control , upgraded front speakers (unsure of brand), pioneer rear speakers in parcel shelf - sounds fantastic considering the 340 not having the best acoustic properties.
Misc-
TAX until end of April
MOT until end of April
LOTS of service history (I mean lots - even the reg of the car that the replacement door handle came from)
New 1.7 clutch cable
New mintex front brake pads
Several spare parts included
Has covered about 1500 miles since the conversion.
Not really sure how much its worth now the engine is gone but it’s a great little car and wouldn’t take a lot to get it going again! Payed £1100, and am looking for £850 ono
