is anyone elses car off the road and your gutted?
my saffs sat in the back yard with a knocking bottom end, engines bottom ends ready to whip out but im at work that much at the minute i simply cannot get time to take out and get it sorted!!
tax is due and i just wanna use the damn car, got in in febuary and havent had a chance to use it much cos of the crap weather up in geordie land we been having constantly and the fact i cant take it to work as i finish at 2am and its a tad noisy with a screamer pipe/wastegate that has a habbit of opening at low revs.
time is of the essance here cos i will get sick of it and bust it like the rest of them.....
anyone else in a similarly shit situation??
Tell uncle sean all about it lol

a 350bhp stripped (carbon everything, plastic windows, the lot) Pulsar thats almost done, just no windscreen/tax/mot/insurance.
a 540bhp dog boxed caged up monster scooby thats not even registered (and has THE loudest exhaust ever
)
a 2dr impreza rally car, awesome cage, double skinned sills you can jack the car off, firewall, seam welded chassis, the lot. but its a bare shell

a mate had a 325i and we snapped the rear wishbone clean off while abusing it, apparently its a weak point on e30`s?
bugger about the vandalism, i hate seeing owt like that
i bet you could get that fixed for under Ł100 fitted? local lads to me used to charge Ł40 for screens like that and Ł20-40 for mint used glass. maby worth a ring round in the morning?
wish mine was a simple driveshaft, i`d be on the floor in the rain fitting it to get it running again!
i hope we do get a late summer
really really want to use mine, even on standard injectors running in will be enough to put the grin back on my face.

Sorry to see the vandalism and hope its all sorted now, someone on s2forum just had a coupe quattro nicked and drove into as much as possible.
My s2's still driving but need the clutch sorting as any boost in 3rd,4th,5th and it just slips up, still holds in 1st and 2nd tho
So its coming off the road for a rebuild/bigger turbo whilst I mess around with a 2 door escort estate

In answer to you thread title.
Yes a car i've just changed the engine in is off the road and i'm gutted. Cause it doesn't run right.
