maddox710 Posted February 15, 2015 Author Posted February 15, 2015 So the billet turbo is off the car and out the question now, completely destroyed the thrust bearing and most is down in the sump somewhere
ashep91 Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Oh no this is bad news is the engine damaged as well?
maddox710 Posted February 15, 2015 Author Posted February 15, 2015 Oh no this is bad news is the engine damaged as well? No luckily, I'm yet to get the sump off for inspection
maddox710 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 I think it's time to cut my losses and break it, I've been thinking about it hard and these last few months I've just lost the love while it's been sitting there getting dirty and braking all the time. Il sort a thread in the breaking section in the next couple of days Don't really wanna break it but il never recoup my money if I sold it as a whole car
jimmymac101 Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Wooooooooooooooooo you need to think abit longer mate, if you have storage for her put it in and have a break 6month to year and come back to it your massively regret breaking James
EP-Azz Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Fuck that will you've just had a bit of bad luck .... sort the turbo n I'm sure the motor is good ! Up to you if you do though I may have some bits if you decide to break ☺
maddox710 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 I've got vf24 for it but cba anymore
