another 70k and you can join my club

23 17 - 20 vw beetle - 1972 1200 cc rebuilt it twice as I rolled it end to end 6 weeks after rebuilding it from a bare shell 20 - 22 mk3 golf - crashed at a roundabout 1.8 gl 22 - 23 vw caddy - no crashes 23 - corrado g60 - already blew the charger up. I can see a patern forming but i'm calming down now

It seems to me that highway are crap but cheap. I am with highway through a broker and they were the cheapest I could find. Just hope I dont crash.

This is what you do. Always works. When you get the letter through from the police - tick that it was you driving, agree to everything but dont sign it. Then dont pay the fine. They will write saying they are taking you to court. It will never get to court because they cant prosecute due to lack of evidence (you never signed it) and it costs them too much money and paperwork. try it. You've got nothing to loose

lol - cheers mate. made a saving already - right lets spend it.

I'll take one then. What you want me to do ? Ring tomorrow, email details, paypal ??? cheers

I assume that if I fit a lysholm charger there will not be a place for the boost return pipe and I will have to do the mod as described else where? Am I making sense or talking crap. What do I need to buy? I would get kit but I wont need the blanking plate so I assume it is just a small filter and some pipe? cheers

pearl grey I think? Giving it a good wash tomorrow and stripping my blown charger out and cleaning IC, changing oil etc etc. Busy day. Just have to wait for the lysholm to arrive from BB and its back on the road. Just hope the rest of the engine holds up.

cheers lads, just giving them a ring. shouldn't really as i'm skint but i'll have to work my ass off to pay the credit card off. Perhaps G - werks or someone should speak with them and become a uk supplier. may not work out cheaper but would be less hassle

bugger it. I'm buying it anyway. I assume customs send you an invoice or do they require payment before it leaves the airport. I have managed to get bb down to $175 on the postage so that will help. (I assume when they say reduce the way fair by 50% this is what they mean?) £300 quid on tax then - 20% That is taking the piss I need the car on the road so I'm buying it tonight. ANyone know what time it will be in America at 12 tonight? cheers

We did mate and you were exceptionally polite and helpfull. cheers I may be coming to you yet depending on price.

Ouch, scruffydubbers or any other lysholm owners...... How much did you pay

Cheers for replies. You can buy an engine flush liquid cant you? Or i'll run a couple of lots of cheap oil through and then put some decent stuff in. I'll put up with the noise i think. Like to show off.

Hi, It was cheap enough but I was expecting to get a bit of life out of the charger. I will def clear all pipes. I could get a cheaper recon charger but why bother when I can get a beast :evil: BB have said this - The full kit is $2499 + $250 for shipping with full insurance and tracking. We have them in stock. I assume this is all I would have to pay?

Been on here for ages lurking Picked up my C the other day. After 20 mins of ownership the charger detonated. It was last serviced in 2000. The engine has done 170,000 miles but has a full vw service history. If it wasn't for the mint black leather I would be considering asking for a full refund but buyer beware etc etc etc. Should have checked it over better I guess. I could only afford a cheap one but looks like the credit card will be out now. I am ordering a bahn brenner lysholm charger this week and need to know if it is wise to fit this charger without rebuilding the engine. I plan to give the car a full service myself but dont want the expense of taking the head off. The car drives ok so I assume there is nothing gone into the engine. I will remove the IC and check for debris before driving. Is it worth dropping off the head and replacing the gasket and checking everything over? cheers for any advise

Live in abbeymead mate, just out of glos. Went to college in chelt for 4 years, I love it there. Hopefully looking at car this week coming but its on the south coast :shock: bloody miles from me.

cheers for that. its going for 1400 so it may be a good buy. I'm expecting some things to be starting to go with these miles.

Hi, Looking at buying a c this week. It is said to be a gti engineering car, has leather interior, gti engineering steering wheel, fvwsh etc but has 170 k on the clock. It is a h reg in grey. How much do you recon its worth? cheers for any help

Hi, not sure if your going to read this but I have haircut at 8 and leaving asap. Coming from gloucester, through cheltenham heading towards Oxford. No point you following me andy, have not got a clue either and cant be sure on time. Although it would be nice to have a little convoy

Big choice though when it is done. Do you go for small amount of tyre wear and extra handling or easy on the tyres and not so sharp???

I'll be there in a black lupo sport.. Should be rolling in around 10 ish. Hope there are more G60's there this time. The AGM was mainly VR's. Nothing against VR'S but i am looking to buy a G60. See you all there

I'll take the wheels :rainbowafro:

Theres an idea!!!!! Buy a job lot of rebuild kits and away you go

try on the vzi forum. The Aircooled guys are always selling these reasonably cheap. http://www.volkszone.com
