With baby well and truly on the way and quite a lot of shit that i need to get in the next few months anyone have any tips on the best way of stripping a supercharged 6 and how much you can expect to make on bits? never stripped a car before but looks like i'm going to have to rape the beast to get any cash out of it so what do i need to get it all stripped down and how do you post/store bits like engines, gear boxes etc.

Any info will be greatly appreciated

Dan

Why don't you return the car to standard (assuming you still have all the bits) and sell the supercharger and kit on its own?, you would get maybe 2-2.5k for the s/c and kit, few hundred for the ECu plus any other goodies (intercooler etc) you have on it and then sell the car on, looks a nice example so should shift ok,

Or do as I did and throw another three grand at it and go high boost LOL

lol thought about high boost but i have enough to pay for at the mo

I reckon i could easily strip the car with a bit of help and info butbuilding the car back up to standard looks like to much hard work working full time 6-4 and having a pregnant monster to look after

Putting it back to standard would be quicker than stripping it lol, should be able to do it in a day, although some of the vultures on here can dissemble a 6 in about half a day I believe, seems a shame to scrap a nice car, too many going to Angel not gonna be many left

He loved that from how he was talking about it so he may be tempted by another.

To be honest if a second hand supercharger is worth about £2k - £2.5k and the car without it is worth about £1500 on it's own then why not sell it complete for about £3.5k - £4k? If you strip it then you will see even less money. Highly modifying a car is like throwing money onto a fire.

You kidding? He'll make plenty of money from breaking it, it's a case of does he have the time and space needed?

£2.5k for the charger and kit, more if he includes injectors, ECU etc
£150 exhaust?
£300 wheels
£400 engine
£300 brakes

That's already over £3.5k. And the car's barely been touched. Factor in interior, suspension, bodywork, could easily reach £4.5k, possibly more from this little lot

GE Quickshift with a shortened gear lever for a lovely short throw £20?
Koni adjustable shock with eibach springs for a 30mm drop £150-£200?
Solid rear mounts on a rebuilt rear beam £200 for complete beam?
Lightened Flywheel £130ish?
HID Lights £40 for the kit, + £40 for the crystals
KD strut brace £40?
AEM Wideband lambda with AFR Gauge – both gauges mounted in a pillar pod £100?
Alloy Crank Pulley £60?

That lot should sell easily enough and gets him to around £4300 with plenty left over that would take a little longer to shift...

TBH I think anyone who knows how much effort goes into some of these cars will hope he makes a decent return. These cars are unfortunately always worth more in pieces, it's just a matter of can you wait for the sales to come through?

I think my car will be broken one day down the line, pretty much no resale value at all now Sad

Surely far far easier than breaking the full thing and messing about wrapping/posting parts off?

2k and my Clio ans ill take it Wink LOL

I could get it stripped in a day but your left with bits sitting round for days/weeks even months sometimes so you need to factor that in along with the fact that every dog and his dick are breaking them and giving parts away for peanuts is what sems to be happening now

The exhaust is one of the best out there in my opinion, 63mm bore blueflame with de-cat, so quiet on the motorway, sounds awesome when you give it some. If i do strip it you are more than welcome to have it. Or we could do a swap deal with the systam you have and some cash my way, let me know

Depends what you want to do mate. I am happy to swap systems with some cash your way, but my exhaust is only 2.25" so not good enough for flow with SC , and my centre section needs replacing.

Dunno what you guys have been smoking but please pass it around!

A new fitting kit is around £1200 so I don't know how you think a second hand used charger that's as good as out of warranty is worth £1300?! That's within spitting distance of brand new price.

Second hand unused C30-94's change hands on eBay for around the £1k mark so knock a few hundred off that for a used one.

Around £1700 is realistic for the kit + charger, and around £2200 as a complete S/C conversion package with everything included.

Knew there was something dodgy about that cheap tobacco I got Doh

Even at those prices though he can easily make up what he's wanting for it whole. As already mentioned, the ballache is storing all the parts til they sell

all depends on how much value you put on your time, stripping a car is time consuming personally i would value my time at 15 an hour minimum. think about it selling each bit to a potential tosser, waiting in , no one turning up. scratching around under your car for 2-3 hrs a night in the p*ssing rain as someone wants to give you 15 pound for a lambda sensor. why is a s/c kit worth 2.5 k when it has been on a car for 2 years and the warranty has run out on the charger?
personally i would bite the bullet and let it go fror 3900 as i think you will struggle to get over 4k for it
