to be honest i think alot of cars are becoming hard to sell all people want to do just now is swap which is no good if you need the cash ofcourse and certainly insurance premiums aint helping concidering they've risen on average of about 30% rediculious

welcome bud

i think you need one of those bonnet melting turbo's to have a BIG BOV dump valve obviously that big it needs to vent out twice lol

its not just a BIG dump valve its a BIG BOV dumpvalve lol

type r's have 2doors dont they?

gutted

i feel royalties are worth it as its a most bodacious word lol

word of the week "bastage" i feel i may borrow this one lol

is it just possible its too tight or maybe just stuck due to icy conditions?

yeah i admit a maybe come out of most corners sideways on purpose but never when theres anyone/thing about as snow/ice is too unpredictable seen a few on the roads losing control already the worst ones are the ones that come off clear roads onto icy side roads and dont slow down and understeer right into the curb or sadly whatever is blocking its path

im sure someone with more knowledge will help soon but when i get a car i always just check the obvious ones like the sills, make sure theres not yellowish gunge under the oil cap and stuff and always test drive it so you can here any knocks and bangs plus that allows you to check the clutch and gears also im not sure if theres any common faults with non turbos or turbos but as i say im sure someone will have better knowledge good luck buddy

what you going to look at? the more detail te better perhaps someone here will know it or know off it

thats the thing it didnt even make a faint sound first well actually it did have a pin hole at the bottom of the headers but if thats what blew out i will be very surprised but you never know it was very small though was almost silent could only hear it when in close quarers but only faintly but yeah that day it went from quiet to full on tracter in the blink of an eye not even under boost or anything was quiet then i slowed down and when i took of slowly boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i wont know till i get the car on the ramps but the garage is closed till the weather settles as its a complete white out up here im hoping its just the gasket blew out also it was just so sudden i was only drivin for about 2 minutes then stopped at a junction then gingerly pulled off in first and wham the car sounded like a tank!!!!!!!!!! crazy
