I was coming up a slip road to get on the motorway the other week, there were 2 lanes. I went for the right lane to over take the BMW estate in the left lane. I put my foot down to go round it, but the driver of the BMW decides he's not going to let me pass, and floors it as well. Now the roads are moving in to a single lane now with the BMW just in front, not being too bothered (and not tempting an accident) I backed off and went in behind him. The BMW driver (obviously with a point to prove) carries on powering along....... until a big puff of smoke comes out the exhaust & proceeds to while I'm passing it (with a big smile on my face :D ), I think someone ether popped a piston or a head gasket!! LOL!! That'll teach him for being an ar5e! 8)

Thanks Timo :wink: How much do you want for it Mark? Would be handy if I could get it b4 e38. Not sure how much I'll need yet. I might have picked myself up an intercooler you see. Would like to have it sorted for e38 ideally (inpatient fu(ker in't I! :lol: ) Got any more pic's of your pipe work yet?

Cheers Lads Keep the pic's coming what sort of hose mate? When/Where is e38?

Those of you that have intercoolers with inlet & out lets on opposable sides, how have you done your pipe work? Pic's please :wink: Also, if you have use extra tubing for straights & curves, where did you get them & how much? Thanks Dan

Your header tank will come up like new if you steam clean it :wink:

surely silicones would be cheaper!! :shock:

silver vr6 N997 *** a few cars in front going in to basingstoke this morning

DOH! oh well, plan "B" :roll:

:shock: Christ! How does the size of that compare to the rallye one? What's the going rate for one? Do you have any pic's of the pipe work? Was it much work?

I haven't got £400 just lying about unfortunately - Chargers getting serviced/upgraded at the end of the month so looking for a cheaper option right now :wink: Cheers paul, will have a look what's the exact model it comes off of? Or will everywhere know what I'm on about if I just ask for a merc sprinter intercooler? And how much should I be expecting to pay do you think?

don't suppose you know anyone/anywhere selling a Merc Sprinter i/c

it's looking that way :roll: :( But would it be better than the std corrado one?

does this look like yours mate? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... otohosting Think it could be advertised wrong going by your description Do you reckon one of these might do the trick? :) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... otohosting

Also is yours the one off of the a/c model?

Thanks Henny, all the answers as usual! :wink: Do you happen to have a few pic's of yours mate?

Anyone ever done one? I did one on Saturday. I got to drive a 996 Porsche race prep, 3.4, 6 cylinder! :D Such great fun!! Still have the smile on my face now! MUST GET ONE!!

also what's the difference in them if the car it originally came from had air con?

he will always hpi his cars from now on! Learnt the hard way. He might take a low offer now though, so could work in your favour.

Any better than the std corrado g60 equipment? or is money better spent on a rallye one? Cheers

no probs 8) If that's the one he should be a user of the board

Does look very similar to this one I see at the Berkshire meet a few months ago. Very clean! Find out what the damage was on it to make the insurance co pay out b4 you make a decision Imo. My C is cat D, had the wheel & interior stolen & damaged to the door. Everything was sorted to a very high std, so didn't put me off. Just go carefully & ask lots of questions. One thing I will say, a lot of people are put off by this when you come to sell it. Most don't even want to ask what happened to it to make it a cat D, so bare it in mind.

what did you do with the hole that was left in the door card?

I only put them on when it's foggy, or down the county roads at night. Don't appreciate someone behind me with the fogies on when they're not needed, so I don't do it.

it is hard to make anything out :roll:

Any car parts type stores, even halfords probably do it.
