   Yup another one. I can recall 3 user names this guys has used in the past but I think its closer to 6 user names now. He just gets band or bad feedback so just registers a new user name by the looks of thing. So this is a warning to avoid this car and anything this user is selling like the plague.

There was one poor lad on here who got so called “saxo turbo parts” off him and ended up just having to bin it. He has used several different user names and when he gets bad feedback or banned he just registers under another new name. If you do a search on this forum you will see countless threads on him. Also sells things thing to different accounts over and over again. For example there was a cossie that got sold round accounts a few times. I think they do that to try and up there feedback?

   Looks tempting - not a bad setup too.
   
   Might keep my bodies and put this on, should be able to bodge an 8v manifold to a 16v engine.......

    standard mani on a mk2 VTR only has rivets holding the cat/downpipe with cat on it - so not exactly hard to take it off i wouldnt have thought - therefore making it much cheaper to make..?

    seen this last week, mustnt of sold so he's changed the display pic.... very pooor, and yes the cars look dog shit because he buys scrap cars probs sub 500 then puts maybes 100's worth of scrap bits(more realistically less then this) and bangs it on the bay for probs about a grand fininshing price, nice 500 or more profit for him

    some of the ones ive seen have had pretty neat manifolds on them... either his or someones customs jobbies or a bodge from another model car.... obviousley very pally with a scrapyard owner or perhaps breaks cars himself.. then puts the parts on the turbo builds

    I would hate to see what they look like. For that much you would blow your budget on a new Garrett turbo. Even most of the people reconditioning R5 turbo units charge £400 odd for them lol.
