Lude Generation

Time has come to scrap my track lude. It's been sat for a while now, has rusty arches and hasn't had an mot for a very long time. Don't fancy blatting around a track in it for safety reasons.

I'll be taking the lowered suspension off that I bought but not sure what else I should remove for sale before it goes to lude heaven?

It's a JDM 2.2 non VTEC with a lot of the interior removed. It's got JDM one piece headlights, are they worth saving?

Suggestions please.

You'll get £40 - £60 for black one piece headlights mate so worth removing to sell separately. Basically you'll always get a lot lot more for breaking a lude rather than just selling for scrap. For a stripped lude, you're probably looking at just over £100 in scrap value, so by removing the slightly more sort after items to get better money, you'll easily double your money and fingers crossed they won't be sitting around too long. Things like the valve cover too are worth selling seperate. Depending on the condition that'd be £20-£60.

Also do you have/are you getting another lude? It'd be worth removing some bits from the engine for spares. IACV, the dizzy etc. @106pete might be interested in the inlet manifold.

It's all dependant on your time and storage really.

Whereabouts are you mate?

The car is in Wrexham, North Wales.

You say valve cover Nath but its not a vtec cover. Would love anothe lude but don't think it will happen. Probably go for rwd on the next track car.

Ahh yes, I missed the "Non" You'd potentially still get £20 more than the scrapyard would be paying you for it as people want a spare to paint and swap straight over, and there are a fair few 2.2 non-vtec owners about. (Also is it the same as the 2.3i ???).

Is there a profile anywhere that shows your lude so people can see what might be on it still?

Ah it's a shame you're so far away from me, I've been keeping an eye out for an F22 engine to tuck away in the garage

Unfortunately not. Some pics from the track day though.

Looks really straight and in good nick tbh!

It does in the pictures. That was after a wash, very quick polish. I spent 30 minutes using poly filler and some black spray paint from the pound shop to tidy up the arches before the track day. It's now spent some time at my friends farm, sometimes in a barn, sometimes not. It's got bird crap over it, the arches have gone way worse, his dads hit the rear quarter with a spike that was on the front of the tractor and the other side has had a gate banging on the rear quarter panel leaving a crease up it.

Poor little lude.
