Taggy Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 he thought you meant car bits for sale, GTbitz is just his ebay name i think Yeah i would definetly buy one from him again, he gets the engines shipped in from Japan, whats good is that they are out of stock cars which havent been messed around with, so for the most part they are in really good condition. Its a little bit more expensive, but its worth it for not being messed around with a dodgy engine thats been abused running more boost.I think i paid £600-£650 for a complete engine with everything attached, CT9 turbo the lot so you could drop it straight in. I have got pics in my old EP82 build of when i bought it.I went to Manchester from Swansea and picked it up in person, he even gave me a free GT T-Shirt lol Oh and he gives a warrenty on it too, if it doesnt work for what ever reason he will give you a refund, cant ask for better than that.

Starbuck Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Nah it wasn't parts. I'm pretty sure ive seen complaints about the engines iirc. Which is why I was surprised about the 2 glowing comments.... Quote

I'm pretty sure ive seen complaints about the engines iirc. Which is why I was surprised about the 2 glowing comments....would it just be engines you have heard complaints about mate? Quote
Starbuck Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 I cant remember fully. Google the name and it will more than likely bring it up... Quote
miib14 Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) i went and bought one of hime and it wasnt a good one, and when i took it back he didnt give me my full money back ,but markoos who used to own the black glanza bought one off him and its still running right... just luck at the end of the day... i bought mine when taggy's engine was still there, he showed it to me.

mattyD Posted February 10, 2012 Author Posted February 10, 2012 hmmmmm it was about a gearbox he had for sale, but when i rang him and asked about it he didnt really seem to have a clue so i decided to steer clear in the end Quote
Taggy Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 i guess at the end of the day its a 2nd hand engine and your never going to be 100% sure, but i had two good ones from him so cant complain Quote
