Robert Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 been looking at that car myself, it does ring some bells but i can't think of who! i do remember it has been for sale before on there with one of those traders, going back a year i think.

Purity14 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Yes I have also seen that car for sale on this forum at some point. I remember it being parked on a driveway infront of a house too, quite vivid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 It says on the add the previous owner was a member. A little more info on the car would be nice, i've emailed them this evening but i'd rather speak to whoever put it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Not sure on the "T3 turbo" part but it is a nice car, need a set of decent brakes and find out when and where it was mapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, hence this thread. I always take the adds on PH with a pinch of salt. Whats the score with the T3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I'd guess the car is an Auto, nice of them to leave that out, and avoid catching the shifter in the interior photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Doesn't mention anything about an uprated auto gearbox to handle that power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraDan24 Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Doesn't mention anything about an uprated auto gearbox to handle that power. That was another thing i was curious about. 500BHP is right on the limit of the standard TT auto box right? I'll just email them with a list of questions and find out exactly where those "thousands" have been spent. I assumed it was an Auto just because of the price. I'm assuming the worst lol.

flukey-lukey Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) Thats Toms old car, his username is/was tom123tom123 iirc. Autobox and I 'think' its a XS power turbo/manifold, there were a few issues with mapping I think too.

Christ, I havn't seen Tom for ages, last time I saw that car in the flesh he was experiencing a couple of problems iirc, general condition was 'OK' however its been about 1 1/2 - 2 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flukey-lukey Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 hmmm sorry about the link, not sure why thats not working. Just search his name and then threads started by him. Yeh mark the last time I saw him was about 2-3 years ago. Agreed general bodywork condition was 'ok' and at the time I think he was beginning to buy in parts for his single conversion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh mark the last time I saw him was about 2-3 years ago. Agreed general bodywork condition was 'ok' and at the time I think he was beginning to buy in parts for his single conversion Yeah i did that, i read his last few threads and watched his videos on youtube. Seemed he was seeing blue smoke after the single installation. Some suggestions were made (possible excess unburnt oil or maybe turbo oil seals) but his threads seem to finish without an answer. He had lost his job at the end of the Single conversion though as i've read, and it had left him in the lurch. Its possible he sold it on and cut his losses. Last thing of importance was he was searching out someone to map it, IanC's name came up as he was familiar with the ECU. May email Ian and find out if it was ever done, although it was late 2008. I emailed the company and they said it was running fine with no issues with the turbo's, they WOULD tell me that however. They also dont have any info on where it was mapped or even what boost its running now. Seems the Gearbox is original also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I usually do talk nonsense. You could be right, it was an old thread. I found a load of his threads however. He seemed to have it all up and running, albeit unmapped and only at 0.5 bar. I shall continue to look into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
