rzempel Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I never thought this day would come, but it is time to sell my Birkin. I just don't get enough opportunities to drive it here on the North Olympic Peninsula. This is a 2001 BIY component built car with 23,000 miles. I've been its caretaker for over ten years, and upgraded nearly every system in the car. When initially tuned, it made 178 HP on the wheel dyno. Sadly, I've never tracked this amazing car. $26,000/OBO Engine: ZX3 Zetec block Ford Racing Head Crower stage 3 cams Eagle Rods Probe 10:1 pistons CFM 65mm billet throttle body High output Bosh injectors Raceline oil pan Raceline water rail Birkin sump guard High output radiator fan remote oil filter Emerald K3 ECU Transmission: typical Ford T-9 box Fidanza flywheel Quaife ATB differential Suspension: Woody's radius rod rear end Birkin wide front end kit 4 pot Outlaw brakes in front .750 brake cylinder Hawk brake pads Interior: lowered floor sections Birkin “competition” seats with padded inserts 5 point harnesses removable steering wheel Mirrorsforsevens wide mirror The car has a full hood with side curtains and a half-hood (Birkini). I also have a spare wheel carrier and a bolt-on rear cargo rack that go with the car. Potentially available, as well, is a 7x14 enclosed trailer with ramp gate and interior tie-downs.

Kitcat Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Beautiful car (and great price)! And that's a lotta hp for a Zetec, but consistent with your mods. What is engine's redline? I'd love it if mine made that much power! Good luck with the sale. Ideal time of year to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rzempel Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 I set the rev cut-out at 7200rpm in the Emerald. Also, I forgot to add that I have a set of corner weighting scales available with the car. Randall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papak Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Randall was gracious enough to let me drive this car when I was considering which route to go. It is an excellent car with all of the development issues resolved. The availability of the trailer is a real plus. It’s just the right size.
