Default went to see a crashed 3 door today....pics

a friend of a friend has a 3 door which he's crashed, he paid 8k for it recently but lost control and now its written off

poor fucker! -

although by judging by the tyres on the rears, he was asking for trouble, they were cheapies!

got to feel sorry for the bloke tho

secondly; are the dark blue injectors standard, what about the turbo? anyone know what it is? looks too big to be a standard one. its a .48 exhaust housing if that helps

insurance co. have written it off i believe, so probably be broken for bits, shame really as it was mint before - it probably can be repaired; the worst part is the off side front, the metal is creased in loads and has hit the throttle pedal

it has only done 78k miles

Front housing bigger than standard and got a 2bolt inlet like lot of Nissan Garrett turbos, BUT they have 2bolt outlets too, this one hasnt.

Certainly never a type of Cossie hybrid ive seen before.

Exhaust side looks stock.

Inj are stock 4x4 ones.
