Say you might need to hang onto that for insurance Dan. Its surely going to go up a fair bit when you get this on the road.

Get some skyline running gear and an 2.5unit and drop it in the Mirca...

go on!

Seriously though.. I'd save the money for maintenace and "ad hoc" repairs, with the setup you're running there's potential for a afew things to go amiss.. (I'm not saying it will , or critisising the workman ship...all I'm saying is that the rule applies that when you're skint, stuff will go wrong..)

As Maud said I would be saving my money for "possible" problems with the turbo conversion, Given that most of the parts used were secondhand Dan you may have probs once mapping etc is done (hopefullly not) , but a slush fund would make sense.

Something not right there, he says he has already been and you are saying you are waiting on him. http://www.ftooc.org/phpbb/viewtopic.ph ... highlight=

Christ who's telling the truth here??!! Long ways for a lad to travel if he didnt get a car, and likewise if hes telling lies then Dan I'd get onto FTOOC and tell them cause you;re name is being dampened!

Hi Everyone

Firstly I Apologise to Dan for any mis-understanding with my post on the FTOOC.

Just to clear things up i did come to ireland last weekend but unfortunately the brake line was bust on the car and Dan couldnt get to me, I never mentioned his name on the FTOOC as simply not turning up that was said by another member and i replied saying that it was due to a fault.

I am a resonable guy and unfortunately there was a fault on the day which i was totally gutted about! if i had enough money now i qwouldnt think twice about coming over again to pick it up but its the cost of the car, the ferry over and back and then getting the car back to swansea, i was really tight on the money before and now its just not a possible option for me anymore even though i desperately want this car!

I am sorry my post to sell Euro's was taken the wrong way because of what some people have said, but Dan was always straight and fair with me when i was over there, I hope the car sells without a problem and if its still with Dan in a few weeks maybe ill be able to afford it again

Cheers
Ross
