Supra_Sean Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Gutted you have to do it mate, I would be intrested in a few bits off you tho. How much would you get as spares/repairs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Good sense mate. Sorry to hear you've had so many problems though. What's your budget for the next incarnation. There are some lovely cars about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT Paul Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 its not good no, spent 20k should off been a single by now.... not what its worth as spares/repair it would be easier than breaking see how it goes. and try to get new one around 5k if possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get some spares sold, add the 5k and get 98 vvti on here. Jeez I can't remember but I know there are several very good cars around for that kind of money mate. Can't believe the car has cost you this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 The car is very near sorted so you may want to hold off on this Paul, either way we will prob finish it, just so we knew it didnt beat us!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 The car is very near sorted so you may want to hold off on this Paul, either way we will prob finish it, just so we knew it didnt beat us!!!! Fair play dude. What on earth was wrong with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Fair play dude. What on earth was wrong with it? Started off with a very dodgy TT conversion, then issues with some equipment fitted elsewhere, then the engine/turbo combo was pretty sick so that was changed for another but the car had loads of wiring issues that Matt has sorted out.

Didn't know Paul went for the TT route. It's not all plain sailing is it? I see threads for conversions all the time. This serves as a timely warning that it's very easy to get into scary cost with these motors. Personally if I was doing a conversion of this complexity I'd have the engine et al sourced by the guys doing the work. It'd cost more but save in the overall cost.

brettjones Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 sorry mate just sent you a pm about the car bad news but is it not better to stick with it then you will know its all as is should be it cant be far off now ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Sorry to hear this. But the car is in good hands. They have it and I'm sure they will fix it, Sounds like they are like me (I'm not letting this beat me syndrome). Hang in there it may be worth it..

Well it WILL drive away, in fact I believe its all running now, engine sounds lovely, just smokes on over run, nothing on boost just over run.

dude Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Well after fitting another ignitor plug it fired about 10 times on the trot so he must be getting nearer, either way it will make more as a complete car on ebay than broken up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
