Yes yes yes. There was a set of GT3's for sale on here not so long ago. Had the black centre and 1AO lip nicest wheels ive seen in a long time.

Thats the main draw back lol. Maybe if your lucky enough to find the manual kit for one. Or just live with the automongo.

Aye that Christophe Waltz is brilliant in it cudnt stop laughing at him.

Django is quality.

^^^This On the other side my glanza had the standard suspension on it when I bought it and it was fucked. No oil in the shockers and springs were sagged about 40mm. Felt like my spine was being crushed over any bump. Pm coming your way.

Aye mate they are a bit. I got a quote for full exhaust was bout 380 if i remember righly which is cheap compared to branded ones. I wudnt think a box wud wud be too dear. If u message me at the weekend to remind me ill try n go get a quote.

I think its brand spank mate. Either that or the arse end is. Exhuast would have rust.

They are fucked and he knows it.

Thats a Kick in the nuts mate. Your manager must be a bit of a wank lol. Bit of a free for all in my work regarding what you do I pretty much can sit on here all day and this is at a massive comms company lol.

If its only smoking a little it will be fine to drive untill you get another one delivered from ebay. Aslong as you dont kick its hole in. £295 is quite steep just to replace seals. So just buy a replacement 2nd hand from ebay some of them only hav 40k miles on them. Good luck mate and no problem glad I can help.

Maybe not faster by the time auction end and is delivered but definately cheaper thats what I would do if i was TD04 and needed 1

Yes but what im saying is. There is no garuntee the pistons are ok. If the engine has been turned over and ran the chances are pistons are damaged. Plus if he doesnt know how to fit a piston ring and has no mechanical experience then whos to say that every part he has pitted could be damaged. You say you need it for the pistons, bolts and gasket. The gasket can be taken out the question because re using one no matter how new is asking for trouble because if a head has been tightened down onto it then its no good. The bolts.... what if he didnt torque them when fitting them they also could be damaged or stretched plus if they are used I wouldnt bother no matter what the quality. So that leave you with the pistons they could be fine which would be useful. At the same time they could have all the problems mentioned due to him not fitting a ring correctly. Plus is he used steel rods he must have fitted the pins whos to say they werent forced in wrongly. I just think the only usable part from the engine would be the pistons its not worth the risk/hassle just for cheap pistons.

I said above if the engine was never ran the pistons will more than likely be ok. But if its been run with a damaged ring then the piston could also be damged in many ways. Also thats what he knows about the builder was clearly not a competant mechanic so I wouldn't want to invest my money in something that might only be fit for the bin.

Yes mate just a 2nd hand working one from someone breaking a scooby or from egay or somthing like that. TD04's dont command a high price (under £100 usually) and having it rebuilt would cost more than that. I'll have a scan see if I can help you.

I have a nur spec and was thinking of having a larger middle section put in it as its too loud. Theres a place in hillington that do custom exhausts probably your best bet mate.

I dont know about GT mate but with glanza its wiper arms off. Screws out. Then slide it towards the front of the car it will have a slot of clips going up under windscreen to seal it so should just pull out mate.

And balance them with what?? If you are taking a turbo apart mate it needs to be balanced or defeats the purpose. People will tell you ive changed my seals and never balanced it and its been fine. Personally do it once and do it right. Won't be that when the come wheel hits the housing and the whole turbo is history. On that note its a TD04 is it not cheaper just to buy a replacement turbo?

Never thought it wont be legal to drive anyway. You would need a flat bed trailer aswell if you want to tow it. Too many rules otherwise. Trailer wise just hire one from mitchells hire drive mate or some other hire company they have loads of things and just take some dirty diesel for the towing.

I can recommend them they look exactly like HID's and are far better than yellow haly's for light.

Surely we can come up with something better than that mate. I would offer to go down with you or for you but unsure how much a days insurance costs lol.

There is a 100w option in cosmos blue and super white. Have to agree 55w just does not cut it.

As said mate you should not ever re use a head gasket regardless. Also you have to ask yourself why the piston ring did not fit in the 1st place. Whether the engine was run or not has alot to do with whether the piston will be fucked or not. If it was run with a fucked piston ring chances are the piston will be damaged aswell if it was never ran im sure it will be fine. Personally sounds like an accident waiting to happen. If he knows so little about engineb building and took it upon himself to do this work theres a good chance other things will be damaged he could have over tightened the head bolts or anything. Just walk away mate will be doing yourself a favour and saving lots of hassle.

Happy Days!! Looking forward to this.
