Oh i forgot to mention that i think its messed up the engine Yeah, i see where your comin form regarding keeping it, but i actually hate the car, with a passion, im not fussed by the loss, its a hobby afterall so it happens. I think il just Mothball it until i chill, then put something worthwhile in there! :D

Yeah bad news guys, my charger blew up today, im sooo pissed its unbelievable, it just seems this car hates me, since i bought it off someone on here in march i have spent near on a further £3k correcting the bodges and general bits, got it back thursday an it felt awesome! even put the cash aside to have the charger off to JMR this week, but on saturday i had a double blow out, and today this. just makes me think i dont want this car anymore, ive got my eye on a new Scirroco anyway but i wanted to keep this! What would you do in my shoes, break it or sell it as is to someone who knows what theyre doing? Cheers Jords

Is there any specific guidelines regarding age an shit from your company? i know at my old place it had to be less than 5 years old an all that shit, as soon as mine got to 4 1/2 years the bastards sent me reminders! If it was me, id buy a dirt cheap brand new daily on a pcp with free insurance like a.....[strike:3h6uag3r]corsa[/strike:3h6uag3r] for like £150 a month, pocket the rest for rado funding!

Thanks Garrett, il be honest since i last put up the costs its sort of spiralled a bit. Bought Car - £2200 AEZ Rims with tyres- £250 M3 styler rear lights - £45 7 slat grill - £15 Detail - £100 (mates rates innit!) Sold Sebrings - £70 M3 styler rear lights - £45 Repairs Boost hoses replaced with Samcos, front engine mount, oil filter an housing, oil cooler, exhaust weld, an im sure theres more i've forgotten but total at the moment without todays expected bill is about - £650 Recovery Trucks I now qualify as a regular, they dont even ask my reg i just say, 'hi its jordan' they say 'where are you this time!' So recovery x 4 - £232.00 (GT Recovery in Reading if you ever need it, very good) Total cost so far....[strike:27t37c3n]£2425![/strike:27t37c3n] £3377.00 Sheeeeeeeeiiitt!!! its really frustrating when i look at ti like that, cos the money ive spent on repairs an stuff was basically my bodyshop fund, ah well, all part of the fun! -

Spent some time at Storm today, first power run was 140ish bhp, i nearly cried, on investigating it was the fact that the boost pipe was just blowing all the air out into the engine bay (this explained why i could hear ait rushing under acceloration and it being 'sluggish!) so a new pipe was fabricated and voila..........197.5bhp! Very happy, also whilst i was there they replaced my fuel lines which were pretty badly perished, and i booked back in for next week to tune up a bit more, an have a S5 SNS chip fitted. Sweet -
