Mike Rapp, its Jeff Tamulis Do you remember that mint 1984 Chris Parvin and I put a 7M into?
well... I have it, and I'm taking it to 450+rwhp and selling it. And I might be interested in a
partial trade for a hardtop MKII. Just a thought..
email me your phone number and I'll call you on my dime

Jeff thanks for the offer. I will sell the 85 sdr outright but I think the hardtop will stay in her stable for a while. And yes I do remember the red 84 and she was nice.


After looking thru some previous posts and doing some research, I believe this kit is a stage 3 kit. Also not in the previous post is that it does come with the evc as well. Hope this helps and I'm sure I'll remember more stuff with time.

On topic now...

The "actual" value of the kit is probably fairly low because of the reasons you've said - it's fairly old technology and design and the power is limited compared to more modern solutions.

That being said, its value as a piece of history for the car is probably very high. It's the sort of thing you get and install into a car in mint condition, but don't really drive. More of a timepiece. It's incredibly rare, and I'm sure a few members here would pay good money just to have one.

Other members more knowledgable in history can probably quantify it better than i can.

 

What do you want for it? Give me an idea of what you are looking to get...you must have some idea...

 

I'll give you 75% of my liver for it.

 

PM mk1fan. He bought a very clean 82 with the kit (at least stage 1) installed and running
from BShapton. He could give you an idea as how much $$ it was worth for him.
I know I was offered 350 for my kit (manifold/turbo/waste, small IC, piping&clamps, HKS FComputer, HKS pipe above head, BOV) but I declined. It's really a gamble.
Sometimes you can find a buyer that absolutly want it, goes for $$$, and other times there is nobody, goes only for a few ¢¢...
I'm starting to think of installing mine in a near future, never know!

 

You guys think I should drop an HKS Turbo my Blupra??? :woohoo:

 

Mike Rapp, lemme know if you wanna sell that entire kit, I might be interested, or give you
some parts .

Hey Mike it's George...personally I would NEVER sell a kit like that. The money you get from it is here today and gone tomorrow. That kit is a piece of MK2 history and those things don't come along everyday. To me; that kit is priceless and if I owned it and somebody wanted to buy it the figure would be HUGE. I don't care how old school the technology is; this kit is NOT for the poor bum that wants big HP on a budget...it's HISTORY brother...I vote KEEP it.

<--checks thread and noted there was no option for a vote...hmmm...might have to modify this thread tomorrow and put one in...

 

Put it on ebay with a really high reserve so the reserve price wont be met and let the bidding war begin.

Some how I dont see you doing this.....I think you too pure!!!!

:stupid:
yea I can't picture you putting a turbo on your only MK2...now if you hadn't sold the black and white one then maybe....maybe

 

well, gee... now that we know his car's not PERFECT (with the small deer dent and all) he might as well do it

 

Damn I like your Avatar Tanya!

Greg would probably not put in on his car but maybe mount it on the mantle over the fireplace in his living room
