Hmmm...

 

[royal_airness]

Let me know your thoughts!

I think some pics would be good, sounds like a pretty nice car

Hello, there are some photos in the link I shared as well as a video from the latest track day I attended.

This makes me sad. What's next for you?

Tell us some more about your brake, brake pump, and hub setup. Have you been innovating without telling us?

IMHO you need more & better photos. Your pics are all from 20+ ft away, you have 1 very dark interior photo, & no engine photos. If I saw thr ad as such as some U.S. sites I would question if it was by the owner or if someone stole photos for a scam listing. If you're asking a premium price, put in a premium effort; pics should be of every body panel in detail. Also include interior pics with good lighting & for the love of God you're selling an engine swapped car with no pics of the engine bay, ECU, etc!!!!

In addition you show the car on track but make no mention of swap drive train mileage & don't show any pics of the roll cage design/welds. I don't doubt you have it all done very well but as a seller you want to make it easy & enticing for the buyer to be drawn in.

Just my 2 cents (pence, pounds, euros?!?!??). Good luck with your sale.

Hey, long time no see!!!

Well, I've had the Spyder for more than a decade so I thought it is time to move on. Thinking of a GR86 to be honest...

@FormInFunction, nice to e-meet you! I agree with your comments, I will try to take some more pics over the weekend and share them. When I get near the car, I prefer holding the steering wheel rather than the camera if you know what I mean.

By the way...

Here is a photo from the engine bay which I found on my phone: IMG-2702
Here is a video with a quick startup and some interior shots:

Very interesting. Me, having no international purchasing and shipping knowledge, any idea what the cost might be to the US?

 

[royal_airness]

Hello, to be honest I had completely crossed out the possibility of having any interest from US based buyers, so I haven't looked into it much. I'm guessing that the shipping cost would be significant, but I can definitely learn more if there is serious interest. A brief google search tells me that an average cost would be around 3k USD.

 

[Galo]

Well duh, I didn't think of Googling it! Hey, for the right car, one never knows, but I don't think I'm up for that much. Your Spyder is very nice!

Nice build, can I have some more info on your brake setup?
Are you still using MR-S abs sensors with just s2k abs unit/pump?
What are rotors out of? 986/987 calipers?
Awesome car, crazy final gear

 

[rcntype]

Yes very interested in the porsche brakes and s2k pump. Please let us know!

 

[royal_airness]

Hello guys, sorry for the delay.

Here are the brake specs:

• Calliper Code: 95535242 (161/261) [Cayenne V8 Turbo και Boxster/Cayman 3,2]
• Rotors: Fronts are 330x32mm (From some Volvo SUV model) / Rears are 300x28mm (From a Civic EP3 Type R)
• Pads: Carbotech XP10 (Front) / Brembo OEM (Rear)
• S2000 Brake Pump
  
  The callipers are the same front & rear with no ABS using the factory balance adjuster. Thankfully, the balance is fine, however the brakes are a bit overpowered for the weight of the car, so I would prefer if it also had a racing ABS unit. In any case, you can brake with a lot of confidence compared to the factory brakes.
  
  There are more callipers that could work, but it all depends on the wheel specs are well. Initially I tried installing EVO 9 brakes but it was a tight fit due to my wheel specs and also the shape/size of our "wishbones".

So s2k brake pump meant the brake booster I'm guessing? I thought you retrofitted s2k ABS
