Year: 1993

Mileage: 12500

MOT: jan 9th

Your Location?: Wolverhampton

Price: 1500

Sadly, after 7 years of ownership, the time has come.

This thing is more than just a car to me, its a bucket load of memories, blood, sweat and tears. However the love has fizzled away and it's time to make my mark on something new.

The things done me proud, its taken me to Germany, round the Nurburgring (5 times), 2 both ends of the UK, my 1st date , pretty much everything/everywhere. Past 2 years its not let me down once (apart from self conflicted issues) Still pulls well and nearly eveything works.

I'll quit with the emotional stuff now anyways..

Basics: it's a 1993 Genesis Coupe, Satin steel blue paintwork with orange accents, 133bhp bikecarbed AFH, MK1 golf coilovers, sick interior, many OEM goodies.

I'll start on the 1st thing's you see

Original colour (steel blue) with satin laquer (painted by myself in 2009)

Various Orange details (porsche GT3RS orange) Badges, sunroof wind deflector, carb caps, other things i cant remember.

Steel sliding sunroof

Boot is de-wipered and badged (properly welded up)

Bumpers are blackened, with colour coded stripe

Stone guards off a fox (smooth, no joint for bump strips)

Pressed plates and holders (keyed holders for easy removal, put show plates in etc)

Door handles are smooth/lockless, meant for a MK3 golf but modified to fit)

LHD rear light (all red, no white reverse light)

Passenger side fog light (drivers got broken), wires are there but isnt connected

Genesis & GT badging

Hella lamp grill

Bonrath air intake

All arches are rolled

BBS RA's 13x5,5 painted in Porsche colours, custom centercaps, Toyo tyres

Now for the stuff you don't see

G40 calipers, Brembo max discs, Hel braided hosese

Polyflex inner TCA bush, G-ladderseite Outer TCA busges

PPP ARB blocks & 'ged' brace bar

Custom made coilovers, using MK1 golf items, for all the lows (and apparently the spring rates are the same of a G40 cup car yo)

Stuff that makes it go!

1.4 16v AFH

CBR600 bike carbs

custom stainless inlet

facet fuel pump

stainless 4 branch manifold (shortened)

2.5" stainless exhaust system

CEC gearbox (essentially an 8P)

133bhp fly/100bhp wheels (have RR printouts)

The place you spend all your time

Genesis interior (rear split bench)

Scirocco GT2 front seats (match Genesis interior)

Leather G40 steering wheel (rather rare, i challenge you to find one)

Leather gearknob (1,2,3,4,E) and leather gaitor

Electric Windows (dealer fitted, again rare, and again I challenge you to find some)

Remote central locking (aftermarket) although it did originally have central locking from dealer

Ciggy lighter, glovebox lid, proper winder blanks, dyed black doorcards, black carpets

Boot is fully carpeted out with house carpet/acoustic carpet, back of the seats are gloss black

Cupholder that i bodged in, that works however has a design fault/placement error (will only really hold a coke can/small costa cup)

Sound to your ears, apart from the BIKECARBSSS!

Remains of what was a decent sound system, got broken into and stolen earlier this year.

Pikey made door speaker pods, with some cheap speakers in

Some speakers in the original dash pods

remains of a amp wiring kit & and a sub controller in glovebox

a cheapo sony headunit from my moms old punto

It has 120 something thousand miles, however i see mileage as irrelevant with a car like this, next to nothing is original so...

It has a short MOT, 9th Jan. It's never failed an MOT under my ownership, thats not to say it wont fail, chances are it'd be my luck this ones gonna fail.

It's well looked after though, so it should be fine. It will get an MOT if it's still in my ownership though, as I'm using it daily. Will update if so.

Issues, theres a fair few, i wont lie. I'll be honest as possible

The biggest, the gearbox... we think its the diff bearing but cant be certain, it makes a very odd noise. but bear in mind, its made this noise for 2 years and gotten no worse, I've done probably 6K miles with this noise. it drives fine, selects fine, everything else is fine.

Theres a big stonechip in the windscreen, it hasnt gotten worse in over a year, it passed its last mot with it, i have a spare in the garage anyway

passenger door glass isnt green tinted like the rest (replaced after break in)

also, paint chipped under passenger handle thanks to said break in

Stereo is temperamental, possible loose connection at ignition barrel. sometimes its fine, sometimes i have to jiggle the key around to get it to stay on, sometimes i give up and just listen to the induction noise

The exhaust knocks the heat shield, i got it to sit high due to being low but that clearly came with its disadvantages lol.

The bodywork is far from mint, after 5 years of use, other idiots and occasionally my own stupid errors. theres a dent in the boot, the roof/gutters are scratched (i drove under a height restriction with a bike on the roof lol) some jerk opened their door into the drivers side rear quarter, some jerk also scratched it in the same place, another jerk opened their door into my passenger door. ANOTHER jerk put a light scratch down the passenger side with something. A motherfucking bird shat out what can only be described as paint stripper onto my roof and, it caused a little bubble/loss of laquer.

I had a bump, front panel replaced.

I'm finding it impossible to price, i really have no idea.

I see cars on here that are fairly standard for 1.9K, then think mines levels above it, but i cant go asking like 3K, that's a joke.

So.... £2200, listening to sensible offers

possible swaps/part exchanges for other things (a clio 172 would be perfect)

Located in Wolverhampton, West Midlands

Best car on CP IMO!! Had far too many memories with this car, its taken me all over the place and only ever been nothing but amazing fun. Provided some good memories working on this (Changing engine on a few occasions, late nigh suspension mods, brake bleeding, tracking........etc) Also taken me on some epic journeys too.

GLWS .................whoever buys it will be happy for sure!
