shit mate, sorry to hear that. he's gonna pay for it all right?

Too bad it's got tints ay Christian? :twisted:

oh, yum. i like i like i like

i couldn't resist. after 4 and a half months i had to drive her around the block a couple of times. it's impossible to resist :twisted: took the rocker cover off after fighting with it for 15 minutes. the plugs were platinums and they were burnt and had deposits of oil. also stank on petrol. bought new coppers with urmines help. i was going to drain the fuel tank and line but i thought i'd best take it in for a service. don't want to take any chances.

well there you go. thanks Shell. hmm, yellow. i don't know about that. i really love yellow on low sports cars but i wouldn't like to see my T in yellow. for some reason it seems it wouldn't suit it. birty, shud up or i'll throw eggs on your car

:lol: go birty go go go. you're my hero dude. lucky you weren't too pissed or they might have been worse off. situation well handled, though i would have made a 'citizens arrest' tell them i'm calling the cops and call his mummy instead. let them sweat for a bit till their parents rock up.

have you started drinking already? :lol: you have no clue do you. next time a red T drives past open your eyes. 8O they own

to tell you the truth if i was a girl i'd worry about the colour. i've never let the colour affect my decision when shopping for a car unless i was buying new. that being said, white is shit and red's an eye catcher :lol:

don't make me bitch slap you paul. red rocks what colour did the s2's come out in? i've only seen white and silver.

did the s2's come out in wine red? i just realised that i've never seen one. birty, don't make me hurt you :evil:

I don't know the details but i think he blew a piston or something. Oz, what was the diagnosis?

thanks steve. i think i'll let mark@hills check everything out. he can go for his life as i'll be billing the guys who stuffed it. christian, i want to go as early as possible but i'll probably be there all day if he can fit me in. do you have the address handy?

Christian, have a look at the photos i sent you last night. there was a good close up of your tip.

is anyone out tonight? i'll be around later with sidewaymambo.

hmm... tell you what, i'll cover the bd4's sticker and i'll give him a go. :lol: seriously though, i'll take her over there tomorrow. what time you going and how late is he open? might be converted just yet :roll:

Finally after 4 and a half months my car is where it belongs. A bit worse for wear though. The repair shop apparently couldn't be fu**ed to turn a key and then turn it again ten minutes later like I asked them to so the battery had drained. The computer seems to have reset itself along with the electronic boost controller which is beeping like a bi**h everytime boost comes on. Back home again and this is where it all came unstuck. Reving it past 3K was impossible. It'd start backfiring and blowing black smoke like it was the Sydney bushfire all over again. I nearly choked on the petrol fumes. Mind you the petrol in her is over four months old so that can't be helping the situation. Atm it's undrivable so I have to get her towed and tuned. I will demand they pay for this expense as it was their incompetance that got it to this state. A couple of questions if you're still reading... Does the PFC reset if the battery drains and does it retune (learn) itself or do I have to tune it all over again? How does the petrol's age affect it? What is causing the huge amounts of black smoke that could choke an elephant? Final word of thought, be careful and insist on idiots like the ones that fixed (???) my car, to turn it on every week and replace your petrol before you drive it.

3.6K. worth every cent and more.
