« on: 17 May 2020, 11:09:49 »
1999 3L Manual Mini-Facelift MV6
Spares or repairs, failed its MOT back in October with holed sills near the rear jacking point.
1999 3.0L MV6 manual saloon, Polar Sea Blue pearlescent, NO MOT, 176,717 miles (engine & g.box only done 98k)
Engine & Gearbox:
Cam belt done July 2018, 175,250 miles
Engine replaced in 2013 at 168,600 miles with engine & manual gearbox from my 3.0L V6 Elite which had just over 89k on the clock
Rear crank seal, crank sensor, MAF, thermostat, water pump, oil pressure switch, coolant temperature sensor, breather box, all replaced with genuine GM parts during engine change
New radiator
Head gaskets done April 2015 at 173k, new cam seals, valve stem seals, etc.
Heads ported by Bill Blydenstein in 1999
One piece 12kg flywheel
3.2 exhaust manifolds, heads matched to manifolds
EGR, SAI and air-con all removed entirely, EGR cheater fitted to stop EML coming on
Jetex full stainless steel cat-back system
Red Dot Racing ECU chip with 7,200rpm rev limit
Short-shift gear lever
Estimated power around 240bhp, pulls in enough air to put the MAF above it's working range (although MAF input not used in WOT maps so this does not cause a problem)
Suspension, Steering & Brakes
Bilstein shocks & Eibach -35mm springs (lower than MV6 spec)
Powerflex front ARB bushes, poly rear cross-member donuts
Steering arms, drop links, front wishbones, rear track arms all replaced with GM parts late 2010 at 155k
Hunter 4 wheel aligned
New GM OEM front disks and pads (not the later aftermarket spec junk)
Rear brakes converted to vented disks Oct 2014 (new Mintex disks & GM pads & TRW handbrake shoes)
New SKF steering idler
Exterior:
Irmscher front bumper (and standard Irmscher boot lip spoiler)
De-chromed and de-badged, Opel badges front and rear are the only markings
New windscreen
Sale will include a full set of painted facelift side trims (I didn't get round to fitting these)
Interior:
Light grey Elite leather interior, all 4 seats heated and working, full electric adjustment on front seats
MV6 carbon effect console, gear surround and door card trims
Rear electric sun blind
Bose sound system
Have done so much to this car that I have probably left lots out.
Looking for £750
