Thread: Anyone know this 3 MPS for sale?

  1. Default Anyone know this 3 MPS for sale?

    Hey guys,

    Been looking for a 3 MPS for a while and this popped up. Just wondering if anyone knows the car? Seems to be good value considering the mods and year.

    Would be keen if anyone knows anything about the car.

    Cheers

    It is cheap because it has 150,000 km's on the clock

    Probably over priced still really, you could talk them down based on that point

    I'd be a bit wary of this one personally. The stock rods aren't really suitable for 220awkw and 500nm. Whilst a tune may enable this, it still sounds like a time bomb...

    Not really... With those mods/turbo that seems very conservative...

    Torque figure seems a tad high for 98, but nothing too crazy, seems like it could easily be safe

    I've been running similar numbers for some time

    From stock, to GT3071, to substantially less modded, many lessons learned!

    That's why I mentioned tune. I've worked out from writers like yourself that whilst 400+mn below 3-3500rpm is probably going to be lethal, the same torque at higher rpm isn't going to put so much pressure on the rods and won't be catastrophic... My concern is the price vs mods... Why sell so cheap if you've got the car set up correctly... I'm wondering if he's trying to drop a problem on someone else...

    That said, even though I've been learning as much as I can, I know I've still got plenty more to learn yet lol
