something dont tally up to me.im not defending abc or him really but it dont even look like its been run yet.the oil cap is off and there is no sign of oil near the thred.now mine is always oily up there.
and wheres the rest of the pipes?
looks to me like he has taken it away before they finished it cos maybe he couldnt afford it? and why would you basically say its shit if you are trying to sell it?
seems like he needs cahs quick and wants it out asap before completion but i could be wrong

Bargain

Did anyone see their old Saff at Combe RSOC day think it was last year or year before.

It had that HUGE turbo on, and EVERY time he put his foot down down the straight it just missed like fuck then in the pits it was "Oh yeah down the straight its just so powerfull that as soon as I put my foot down the wheels just spin up, that why I had to keep letting off"

Or maybe he's just had the cam cover off to try and cure his oil leaks??

there seems to be a lot of stuff missing of that, if he needs cash why does he not just take the engine out and sell that with the bill of the build if it cost him that much?????????

seems like something a miss there though

i remember another slaging match on the rsocx main bb about abc & a member of the rsoc that used them. ' the time i was feeling for abc because of the thigns that wer said about them but that add & those videos are a fucking disgrace, those are customers cars. if he was taking my car out & started driving it lyk that it say stop, pull over, get the fuck out & it doesnt matter about the set up ill go to nms or msd.

I see ABC have made it onto the passionford allowed to be slagged off list (which they deserve!).

I had similiar treatment from a tuner which is on the passionford not allow to slag off list - lol.

Looking at the wiring reminded me the time I realised my top tuner had wired my cheap Lambda monitor into the fuel pump circuit directly into the fuse box! It took me three days including removing the fuse box to work out why the fuel pump fuse kept on blowing!!LOL

imagine you are in the audience at jerry spirnger when, rather than having weirdoes coming out because of the strange fetihes they get up to, you had mr joe average come on stage with a horror story about a tuner

that would so make it a top rated show for all of about a week

Dann, I saw yours a fair few years ago at a certain place

I think the guy advertising it, is having a dig in his own way knowing it'll get some interest on various Internet BB's!

Why the fuck should anyone pay for a tuners wrong doing. Its your money not theres! Why get ripped off when you know a lot or nothing?
