That would be a sin if you did that mate!

gorgeous car..... if i was in the market for another coupe i think i would go yellow again..

best coupe colour and i bet it is a joy to drive on the straights

I wouldnt normally go for yellow but this stands out for some reason! Must be the kit on it!? On the straights its an animal

So what sort of power could it mate after Leighton had a look at it?

Leighton suggested a gain of 60lbs of torque plus 10 -15bhp gain

Followed this a few years ago and it sounded great with the exhaust.

Mike - try your luck and offer a swap!

I am so tempted with this car - I think it's stunning and what a list of mods!!

"MODS" Just so you know I dont have an issue with people posting on here before you go CRAZY with your clean ups I like the comments but preferably humourous ones

Ah dammit! Grrr...

We have rules, and we make no exceptions.

Obviously. You could be a bit more cheery about it though?

ok roly, i will swap my coupe for your Cerb..... (you didnt stipulate who i had to try to swap with ).
Seriously though, after 2 coupes, its time for a change.

talk of small world..... 5 mins ago i got a message from a user called Busa on the Zed forum saying hello from an ex fiat coupe owner....
It must be the same person....... (from blackpool)

Wish I had seen this about 3 months ago.....paid 2G for one......almost 2.5G later and I still have a packet to spend getting it to your standard.
I think it be underpriced if I am honest mate.
The best colour too....just like my first coupe

Yes quite a few are saying underpriced spit and I do realise this BUT being a forum owned car and only being sold for 3k a month ago I doubt I would get any interest just out of principle if I priced it higher and would rather sell/swap quickly than wait as need something better than my old vectra for work asap

I don't know whether I'm just missing the point somewhere, but in your for sale ad you mentioned considering a part-ex for a Coupé, and also that if it doesn't sell you may have to break this one and sell the parts to get your cash back.

In the advert you've said the car just sits too low for where you live, and that you don't really want to have all the hassle of getting it re-adjusted, but surely having it re-adjusted is less effort than breaking it completely?!

And if you're considering another Coupé as part-ex, wouldn't you just save yourself a whole load of hassle by simply having the suspension adjusted on this one to make it more suited for the roads where you lived?

That way you get to keep the Coupé you wanted originally, and have it more fit for purpose plus save a load of effort

Or as I said, have I just missed the point completely?!

As an ex-lecturer, I wouldn't fancy turning up to school/college in a yellow loud machine either! Especially when I'm just starting a new job at a new school!

I don't know. We thought one of our teachers was cool because he had a Triumph Spitfire (which in 1974 was somewhat more impressive than it sounds now).

Its a combination of many things but more importantly patch is right in what he said which I did mention. Breaking was with a winky face and not ideal. Anyway no time or energy for too much messing around and do need a daily driver for my present job. Have had some genuine interest from a number of people on here so will see what happens. Am also looking into possible options that are time effective to sort the low issue but still going to leave me with a fully kitted LOUD yellow car for work which will just not work. Dont fancy parking round the corner either! Its a striking car but work and my career is FAR more important Im sorry to say...

That is georgeous (it's my fave colour of course!

If you had the required parts and you can't get your price - Would you consider removing the performance & styling mods you want to sell seperatly, turbo/fmic/Walbro/seats etc, putting it back to 'standard' as such, & selling the car for a lower price instead?

This cannot be broken!

Its having the required parts Jamie that is the thing and then the knowledge of changing things around!

Yea I know - It was just a thought if somehow you couldn't get your price, it would be an easier, alot less effort (& less painfull!) soloution to breaking the whole thing.

If I had the money I would buy this tomorrow! - despite it having more mods than I desire

Yeah I know man I know I doubt it will come to that though

Just had a thought...HOW LIKELY is it that people would be willing to buy my modded parts and come and take them off themselves and maybe exchange for standard? Is that a viable option at all???

Yes it is!!

i will come over and swap a few things for standard stuff!!!

dibs on the wheels, i'll swap for the originals or 17's I've got

slow death of a supercoupé

Ahhh fantastic! Ok I will post up a new thread after this week if coupe hasnt gone and make EVERYTHING available for swaps plus cash. Nice one fellas

Just remember dibs on the rims, i'll even take the front seats too at a price!

cant let this coupe die!

I think mine will suffer similar fate eventually. If people aren't willing to pay the price these modified cars deserve, then it makes more sense for the seller to put it back to standard.

i think the main reason is people want to build there own baby..

i mean, who wants to buy some thing thats already been done and there is no room left to put your own stamp on it!!

theres always room
