really thought this car would sell no problem, don't want to let it go for nothing though
Wondered why he fucked me off i was going to buy it on friday but he said he had already sold it!!!!!!!!..I asked about the turbo and was he sure it was the turbo that was the problem why it wasnt boosting and he said yes!!!
This is what i PM'ed him on UKSC
Also i've got a few questions if you dont mind me asking.
1 is the turbo its the only thing that is worrieing me abit because its alright someone saying its the turbo thats smokeing and fucked but is it? its not that i dont trust you just the garage that you took it to might think its the turbo but is it realy?.. is it the pistom rings gone valve stems ect i just dont want to end up buying a car with a fucked engine as im sure you will understand.
2 is when was the cluch changed and also the timeing belt?
3 do you have the greddy emanagement disc soft wear disc ect and also who was it mapped by?
Cheers

And this was his reply
right mate, update lol. just got off the phone to a different guy and he might be coming before weekend now! again nothing definate but i'll keep in touch.
i took it to YVS Performance and the guy (simon) says it is only the turbo. we disconnected everything (vac lines, boost controller etc) and the turbo still didn't boost. he gave the rest of it a check over and said the engine is solid. its been driven a good few miles withe the turbo like this and its never missed a beat or had any other indications of any other issues!
the clutch was changed just after i bought it, less than 10k miles ago and the cambelt was done around 5k miles ago
i don't have any software for the emanage and it was mapped by Nick @ TD. hopefully this has helped lol

Its funny how soon as i asked about the problem with the turbo and was he sure it was the turbo at fault he gets back to me 5min later saying someone elss is going to look at his car befor the weekend now but originaly said no one was going to come and view it till the weekend but soon as i started asking questions he was slowly fucking me off because he knows i know quite abit about these cars so he has tryed selling it to someone that dosnt know much about these cars!!! Why elss would he say to me it was sold on friday but realy it didnt sell till yesterday!!!..Also wondered why the price rocketed down from £4k to 3k then he was wiling to acsept 2k all because the turbo had gone????????????????????????????????????????????????????

**Do not buy from me**
Glad i bought standard gt cause it tempted me buy it when he said 2k
Since we have baught this car its spent nearly 6 months at tuning developments getin fixed and forged. And its with owners who will give it some tlc i suppose i have to thank you for the car as its like a dream now! And its been worth ever penny but ot would of been nice to let is know a few home truths about iy. But be sure to see it at the car shows and lookin much better :-D
