Faslane Rocket for sale...

[airforceone]

Ok Guys

The time has come to sadly part with my Rocket build.
I basically haven't had the time to do anything with it now for
a long time and it's such a waste sitting in the garage looking rather sad for
itself.

I will admit that it has been neglected a bit over the past few years.

It needs an MOT, but physically the car is in great condition. Only
issue is that one of the wheel studs has come loose from the drivers
rear side hub, as it's alloy I haven't bothered getting a repair I have
just bough a complete new hub and bearing set that just needs fitting.

Have a look through my build diary and you will see the spec of the car
I have spent a lot of money on it during the build and also made some bespoke
body parts. The front brakes have been upgraded to vented discs.

I have loads of spare parts and goodies to go along with the car that I have collected over the years
and also a folder full of receipts.

Some of the parts used.

2.0 zetec blacktop engine (NEW)
IB5 Gearbox (NEW)
Race Technology Dash 2 display and connection to ECU
OMEX 600 ECU and Wiring Loom.
Hispec 4pot Callipers Front.
Rally Design alloy hubs.
Suzuki Hayabusa Throttle Bodies.
DanST alloy air Intake fitted to TB's.


IVA completed and on a 62 plate. As I said a lot of money spent but it does need some things
doing to get it back on the road.

I know I won't get what I've paid out but open to reasonable offers.

Message me for pictures or questions.

Thanks

[airforceone]

OK Guys

I've had a look through everything and there is a lot to include with the car.

Unfortunately I'm going for an operation on my knee so it has meant that someone
could get a bargain here.

Everything related to the car will be included, loads of spare parts and bits bought
to replace existing parts. All the bespoke carbon and fibre parts finished/fitted and in
production (needing finished). I don't want to think about how much I have invested in
the car so if I don't get what I'm looking for them It will be kept in the garage until
I'm able to start playing with it again.

Some of the parts used:

2.0 zetec blacktop engine (NEW) £900
IB5 Gearbox (NEW) £450
Race Technology Dash 2 display and connection to ECU £600
OMEX 600 ECU and Wiring Loom. £750
Hispec 4pot Callipers Front. £200
Rally Design alloy hubs. £300
Suzuki Hayabusa Throttle Bodies. £450
DanST alloy air Intake fitted to TB's. £600
Wolfrace Assassin 17inch alloy with tyres (1200 Miles) £700
Original Kit price with extras £4600.
Rear spoiler £300
Front spoiler £200
S/S bolts used throughout £150
Vibra Technics engine and gearbox mounts (3 of) £600
S/S exhaust system £900


This alone is more than I'm asking not to mention £200 for seatbelts, £200 for seats.
Lighting, wiring loom, battery and charger/conditioner/alloy radiator/stainless braided
brake and clutch lines, IVA, registration and a load of other stuff.

It needs an MOT and a tidy but it is a fully registered car on a 62 plate, done just over 1000 miles
and would be an ideal starter for someone.

Have a look through some of my threads for pictures, upgrades and bespoke parts.

Sorry I’m new to the forums, I’d there somewhere I can see pictures of your rocket?

[airforceone]

Ok guys I've updated the post above to include links to my build thread along
with links for the brake upgrades I've completed and the bespoke side pods.

I'll be advertising this in the usual places but I thought I would give members the first opportunity
to purchase.

[airforceone]

This car is crying out for a turbo or supercharger....

Hi Ned, after spending a few hours last night reading through the build diary and couple of other threads you linked to I can see the time, effort care (and dosh) out into your car.

I was ideally looking for a track car ready to go as I have very little experience of fiddling with the oily stuff on cars. I am reasonably handy and can turn my hand to new stuff but I’d be starting from cold with this.

I am really interested though and have a few questions if you don’t mind. I’d PM you but I’m too much of a newbie to do that!

How much work is realistically needed to get it back on the road and is it the sort of work a novice could do themselves with the help of google and forums like this?

is it Likely to pass MOT once this work has been done? Again I’ve no experience of kit cars and testing so don’t know if it usually runs smoothly or if emissions, noise etc can be issues?

What’s the performance like on this? I assume you’ve done track days so how does it feel on a track and what were you looking to improve still?

Sorry for the barrage of questions but if I’m going to travel the length of the country with a trailer I’d like to know everything , good and bad!

[airforceone]

No problem Andy...

There is a lot of money in the car, way more than I'm asking for it. The basic kit was £4k
And I spec'd it up quite a bit with variable camber wish bones alloy uprights and a few other bits.

I'm not denying it needs some work to get back on the road but it's fully registered on a 62 plate
And built with the best of gear. I'm not a mechanic but was a technician in the Navy for 22 years
So it's not just thrown together.

It doesn't need much for the mot. Therefore was a ball joint boot at the front needed
Replacing and a new rear hub as one of the wheel bolts can loose. These new parts will come with the car.

Track days, unfortunately not. Starting a new job 3 years ago, and working away from home meant no time
For the cae. It's done just over 1000 miles so not even broken in yet. As for performance it goes like it's
Name. It has around 160 bhp with the throttle bodies and inlet fitted.

I'm at work at the minute and don't get home until Thursday so I can have so new pics and you can give me a call if you
Want.

Hey thanks for the heads-up much appreciated! 

Was speaking to Faslane a few weeks ago via email, its a good motor by the sounds of it...however ive just done a deal on a Mev Rocket found on the classifieds.

[andypearce]

Ok Jason, thanks for getting back to me. Will be in touch, just need to convince the ice that upping my budget by £1500 and ending up with a car that doesn’t have an mot is a good idea!

[andypearce]

Ice = wife!!

[airforceone]

It does however have an IVA which cost £450.

You only have to up your budget by £1500, I don't want to think about how much I'm
I'm out of pocket. If my missus new that the car would be staying put...

It's the perfect starters car, all the hard work has been done now it's ready for
someone to put their stamp on it and have a tinker about.

As I said earlier I'm home on Thursday so I'll get some pictures taken and post them
here for all the interested parties it will save me sending them out individually.
