Need to get my garage built first and then some decking for the other half before I'm allowed a toy :( If you decide to keep it a wile longer, give me a shout when you do come round to selling again mate. All the best for the sale othe...

I wonder what nice chap sent you that

Have you tried Chris Knott as mentioned above?

They were excellent with me when I was 19.

David220

Elephant.co.uk FTW! Policy in your name and stick a female (with a half decent driving record) on as a named driver. I'm just turned 24 and only paying Â£500 fully comp for my clio 182! Also try Chris Knott...I was with them when I got my 220 Gsi T at 19. I had no NCB and a fault claim on my record ...

Alright mate, There are a couple of 'tests' within the VAT Act to determine when a business is liable for compulsory registration (The historic test and the future test) The historic test requires the taxable supplies made in the last year to be considered at the end of each month. If the supplies e...

David220

I thought they might but wasn't sure.

306 ones (if they're any different to the 106 ones) would do the trick then surely.

David220

Bonnet lifters also come as standard on a 106 Gti.

Obviously the bonnet on the 106 is light as a feather but the struts have a fair amount of strength in them so I'd imagine they'd manage to support a 200's bonnet.

As already mentioned, it's a piggy back chip which allows a lot of adjustments.

They achieve good power gains too.

If you're after getting one cheap I have one for sale in the for sale section and will accept any reasonable offer for it as I'm saving for throttle bodies for my car.

Cheers,

David

I agree with the comments that imprezas are very over-rated! My old Gsi T used to absolutely destroy imprezas unless it was from a standing start and they launched it. Even then..it wasn't long before I caught (and passed :wink: ) them. That was when I had the tired old 115k engine that was down on ...

I am the customer whom was after the unichip in the first place which is why Grant was kind enough to do a deal with Bart to help me out. I paid for the unichip back in November I think it was and have been waiting since then for the unichip because Bart has been messing Grant about! I have therefor...

Grass isnt always greener in the land of 4wd Jap turbo it seems Looks very nice in black Or RWD jap turbo as it was in this case Seriously though...that's why I decided to keep my gsi and get my engine done as I couldn't find anything out there that could compete and that I could get a half decent ...

Good point,

Am I right in thinking that the only way to tell is from the v5 then?

1) The Numberplate plinth would have had a 'Turbo' badge.

Mine just had a 16v badge on the plinth and 220gsi badge on the tailgate and its a genuine gsi turbo

David220

My car (a genuine gsi turbo) states 220 gsi turbo on the v5. Its a 1994L reg.

I assume all genuine ones would read the same on the v5.

Dave

David220

Just got my new intercooler, slim line fans and air filter from Grant.

Great advice towards fitting the intercooler and fans and great after sales service as always!

Cheers,

Dave

The actuall car is booked as a 214i 8v = very cheap insurance

This is what got me...load of rubbish!

Get a lot of people up by me selling cars and saying stuff like this. it's quite annoying!

David220

Might as well not bother paying the insurance then because you've basically not got any anyway!

David220

Most of the car is an eyesore but I do actually like the back if you get rid of the spoiler, put a decent looking exhaust on and paint it a decent colour.

Obviously a lot of work gone into fitting the back lights which look quite good imo. Just a shame he didn't stop there.

David220

Different I suppose

David220

Gsi Turbo for me but then I'm Biased

2nd choice would be a Ti (Specificly Paul/Raistlin295's)

Dave

David220

Yep, should be

Thanks again mate

Dave

David220

Got my car back from Grant last night complete with its nice new engine Every aspect of the car feels brilliant and I'm VERY impressed with the performance as it's a lot quicker even whilst taking it easy. Not only is the quality of work second to none...I couldn't have asked for better service Top ...

David220

Did a swap/part exchange with my old HKS.

Very quick payment and kept me informed of progress etc.

Very trustworthy in my opinion.

Cheers mate

if it had jumped a tooht on the belt it would more than likely be a bit ill. All repairable thouhg, should be cheper than a new engine. Replace the head at worst I would imagine, which would then change the head gasket at teh same tim eof course. Job done ! My thoughts exactly...gonna be cheaper to...

David220

Who checked it for you because if they suggested that it could be either a snapped cambelt or a blown head gasket then I'd be dubious as these both show completely different symptoms! If the timing belt has snapped it will be obvious as if you take its cover off it will be snapped. Correct me if I'm...

David220

Slight overreaction me thinks!

As said, could just be a knackered spark plug, HT lead or anything simple like that!

I'd try all those 1st before getting a new engine

David220

Will soon be another Scottish rover representing the community and turning a few heads(Hopefully!)

Congratulations on that time Ross...VERY impressive

David220

No problem, thanks again it mate.

Can't afford DTA so this is the next best thing which should allow me to get the potential out of my new engine.

Dave

David220

Top guy,

Got my unichip from him after it turned out it wouldn't work on Raistlin295's car (wasted spark).

Good price and prompt delivery. Can't ask for more than that.
