bump Phil

bump for old school boost controller Phil

ill say it again Golf though bunkers can be frustrating. Phil

in general, its a grey area. Apexi el 2 ? its pretty clear Mines ecu ? HRF front bumper ? non smoking ashtray ? Mk1 front bumper ? gt advance momo gearknob and steering wheel ? original buddyclub P1s ? regamaster evo ? Blitz K1 ? Jam forged Engine? all the above if MINT/NEW come up forsale once in a blue moon. therefore sellers dont advertise them 'hoping to find a muppet' but rather their privileged time of ownership is up and looking to pass along a rare part to a fellow enthusiiast with the knowledge that the person paying them, wont ever lose money on their purchase. So they are not being had, rather just offered a privilege at a price. (im not saying the above parts are all things id want, mines ecu i wouldnt trust and blitz k1 i wouldbe looking more power... etc etc but their are people who appreciate all of the above and much more. i couldnt even start into optional extras as the majority dont interest me at all. (though remote central locking and passenger seat undertray i only realised i would miss when they were gone!! Though dont get me wrong i agree that people sell general tat for money just cause they can. Thankfully general tat can be picked up from mates/breakers for very little. Phil .

Yes, nail on head. now im the biggest cheap skate out there, but there are certain parts that you see for sale so rarely, that they come at a price. Phil

Everyone has a different opinion your welcome to yours. mine would be that a mk2/3 bumper could be lifted of any number of breakers for 30/40/50quid. you could play breakers of each other and get one cheap enough, but it would always not be a mk1 bumper. (so therefore useless to me) And a Mk1 that i would like comes at a premium, Charlottles for example is worth 50 in your eyes (plus postage/collection & paint would stand you maybe 150/170 by the time is looks ok.) but its worth £0 me, it has a hole cut in it. Thats were things get confusing, if i had a cut up mk1 bumper or mk2/3 bumper yeah id sell them for the prices mentioned, but i wouldnt put one on my car. There are other people just the same as me in south of Ireland/UK and whilst that may sound ridiculous to you, but i only need one bumper (hopefully) so ill pay to have it painted well and make an intercooler kit to fit with it uncut. i could have a gt with a rusty bonnet laquer peeling roof and front bumper cut to bits with a manky old fmic hanging out the front, and it would work rightly. But it wouldnt sit right with me. i would struggle to enjoy driving it during daylight hours. Phil

hmm its highly unlikely to be perfect IE unmarked paintwork, and the sort of folk wanting a uncut mk1 bumper need the paintwork A1 so will likely be getting it painted anyways. personally i searched high and low, and found 1 without fogs/lower lip for 50 plus the lower lip 50 + fogs plus paint wouldnt have been this side of 200 finished. Phil

The uncut front bumper for the GT.... is worth a clean fortune if its a mk1 bumper with the lower lip intact and the bumper truely uncut/never trimmed slight for a front mount etc. you'll get 120-150 for it. Phil

Bump Come get a bargain guys Phil

If off to open a thread about over use of the word scene On another note browner did me a super price on the Brandnew forged pistons I've now up for sale so someone can get a bargain if they want Phil

you buy a td04 of a scoob forum or ebay it can be tat and no1 will care, sure it only cost you 40 quid. you buy one off here it will have been used by that member and it will be proven and reliable hence the price tag. finally your complaining about what you have done yourself, buying elsewhere and selling to starletheads for more. The starlet community is where i would choose to buy my over inflated parts cause i know that the greddy turbo ive bought is legit and the HKS exhaust from abbott will be mint and the LSD from Idrees should be sweet and the pistons from X member etc etc. ive bought more cheap tat of ebay that trust me it DOES NOT work out cheaper in the long run. ive proof.

Bump Phil

Haha no im sure not, I don't take mine lol Was playing today myself. What do you play off? Phil

Aye, news was bad, hole clean through piston. time for a rebuilt me thinks Might spruce up the bay a wee touch while im at it, and build the engine i want this time. do it right do it once etc etc. Phil

Yup, fire me a pm if you wanna work something out. Phil

Golf, great way to spend some time. out in mother nature and if your any use you can enjoy improving at what is a fairly difficult sport. Phil

As shaun and the likes have mentioned there is circles and relationships that exist on here or tgtt maybe even Facebook where parts are passed round at value or cost or free. I'm very fortunate to have been apart of these circles for some time. This is also why in a world of parts il often put 'offers' and I don't apologise for that in the slightest. I've gave people awesome bargains when they make an offer and it all depends when they make the offer. I'm not a business man and I only sell something to chop or change things on my car. Currently I've a polished inlet forsale marked at 65, which seems reasonable given condition etc and I've asked for offers and haven't had one. Now I won that on eBay for less than 2quid so if some one offered me 35quid posted they would get their bargain and if get a couple of bob once I've paid to post it. Everyones situation is different though Phil

This is true. Phil
