Kuro project

[Nutty_Chappie]

Kuro project!
She needs some love. Been sat since 2015
55k miles (ish) can’t remember exact number
TN07 JHD
Starts and drives (well, did drive ..tonight it popped the slave. And my patience with it!!) so she needs a new home as I’m never going to find the time to sort this! I’ve got a slave to go with it. I’ll fit it if I get chance….
Starts really well hot and cold
Bodywork is ok, few marks but ok! bootlid very rusty!
The sills arent too bad, have some surface rust but no big rusty holes.
Subframes are the same, have pics under it If you want to see
It’s had a full set of calipers and pads fitted and pair of front struts and springs and a set of oil cooler lines
Seems too good to chop up. Headlights look brand new and are the chrome kuro ones.
£800 Ono - I wouldn’t recommend driving this !

whats stopping it from being driven apart? from no front number plate. tax MOT etc etc

[Nutty_Chappie]

Well, no clutch and not been on the road since 2015,
Number plate is here- if you want to drive it then that’s fine with me

[Dr. FrankenRex]

I really don't need this... But that looks great, especially for the money

pretty much the same thoughts I had. Always wanted a Kuro, but I still have my Nemesis to fix up!

[warpc0il]

Kuro = "Any colour you like, as long as it's Black"

[Calcifur83]

But it's such a lovely black. I am actually considering whether I should get my Nemesis repainted in the Copper red it is meant to be, or the Kuro black, cuz it's so nice!

[qwakers]

Another case of i dont need it but i would buy it... if it wouldn't be another 800 in diesel to collect it...

[Nutty_Chappie]

I paid delivery on it from Scotland (trying to forget that!) lol
Was a great idea at the time! Lol

Any bids before I deal with all the messers on eBay?

[qwakers]

i'd give you £1000 delivered?

[nightfire10]

I don't need it either but will match James offer of £1000 delivered to Cheltenham, can we flip for it?

[qwakers]

hey, no fair! you are a fraction of the distance to him than me

[ChrisHolmes]

hey, no fair! you are a fraction of the distance to him than me

Cheeky really my sniping after your bid was in so I will butt out and settle for 1st dibs if you dont have it James which is more polite.

[Nutty_Chappie]

Yeah Cornwall is a lot further than Cheltenham! Lol

Chris. I am happy to take that offer,
James - I make you about £300 further for the recovery man?

[qwakers]

yeah, more than i could afford im afraid.

[Proactive]

Does that mean I have bought a Kuro?

[qwakers]

unless pete feels like being very generous and effectively taking a £300 haircut on the asking price, i suspect you have yes!

[ChrisHolmes]

A couple of things to clarify. Once the clutch slave is fitted could you arrange the delivery to Cheltenham as you may have better contacts for haulage than me.
Having only just got RR54 going ok I must be mad but what the hell are you supposed to do when retired?
Middle of July would ok for a delivery slot but I am not in any rush for the car.
How and when do you want payment?

[Nutty_Chappie]

Yeah sorry with the cost of everything these days, recovery truck and diesel I’m afraid Chris’ is the better option for me

Thank you both for your offers, Chris I’ll pm you, cheers

[MightyCondor]

How many RX-8s will you have owned now Chris? Just want to know in case you're ahead of me

[MightyCondor]

That would be 6 Alan

T200 CAD Orange SC 231
YA56 EUE Nemesis CR 192

[mi60o0]

You are still behind mr

[Proactive]

*laughs in double digits*

Look at you guys with your rookie numbers

[350matt]

Blimey
I'm still on my 1st one....


that said its had quite bit replaced, welded up , resprayed, rebuilt etc etc

and you boys don't hang around do you? I was recommending this car to young lad at work , but sounds like he's missed the boat

good luck with it Chris, having got 1 running obviously you need a spare
makes perfect sense to me

[Nutty_Chappie]

I’ve got a few projects coming up for sale as realisation that I’ve no spare time at all with small family and busy at work! So watch this space!
