i have defected my mate over to the dark side!

hi peeps iv just got my mate to defect over to a porto blue coupe 20v turbo hes just bought today.

1997
100k miles
hybrid t28 turbo "the seller recons"
team dynamic 17" alloys
black leather
good clean bodywork
everything mostly standard to look at and may be chiped and dumpvalve but will see
tax&mot till april 2011

£700

also he wants me to up the power so there a good replacment for R1DAN in romford now

Good job! get him to join the club and post up some pics!

i did have some but i cant find the ebay ad

and join yourself while he's at it

He won't be your mate for long when he realises the ongoing costs you've exposed him to bearing!!!!!

.. direct him to the 'How much have you spent on your coupe' thread ...

I can see that guy you used to call a mate,giving you a right kicking when he realises he is going to need a few more credit cards

haha nope he knows what cars can cost, hes had more then me,

the coupe has been in bognor reigus in 2006 and has been serviced and a recon turbo by power fiat so im going pop through rog's on the way home today to get some info.

the body work is lets say not the best by far but with R1DAN's car as parts it only leaves the rear quarter to the dent guy rog uses to come and sort it out.

all in all it needs some tlc but the engine is stong and the clutch is new, gear box is a ? as my mate recons 4th sometime crunches but i'l have to see this myself, if so he can buy mine and i'l get a 6 speed with a q2 diff fitted

brakes need bleeding, rear pads changing, ect

Can't beleve it, my mate this morning on the way to work hit a dear in his coupe! He's told me it looks like the bonnet was the only part damaged but what bad luck!

dear as in old dear, old biddy, granny, etc.? or dear as in deer, 4 legged animal with optional horns?

Or perhaps Deere as in

yes well corrected mate, DEER not old dear , i havent made my morning coffee yet, will do now

nope not this deere but i did ask was speed a factor in this and he replied, nope i was doing 40mph on the country lane, it darted out, but when he hit the deer it flown over the car so......maybe truth or lie? its brown bread now though

right today im having to pay back all my I.O.Y's to my mate by doing a 1 day power upgade that consists of

1. sip pipe with induction kit
2. oil change
3. oil filter change
4. fuel filter change
5. ngk R plugs
6. bleed the brakes
7. gtec 2 chip
8. 3.8 fpr
9. fuel pump mod
10. re-circ dump valve
11. and anything else he can think of

Crikey what did he do for you, or what else did you do to him to deserve a "payback" like that?

I hope he's paying for the parts

Oh yes he's paying for the parts, all genuine bosch only and moble one

he's been roped into load of jobs like gear box changes and brake lines fitting and towing me long distances so it's all cool

Hmmm I change someone's fuel filter, they change my gearbox...sounds like my kind of deal

right the car is booked in to track&road this friday for 6pm for a power fun, its now got my fmic setup and runing 1.1bar of boost, it feels rapid and hopefuly will make close to 250bhp
