Which garage you on about mate?

E399 belonged to my mate rory and then sold it to my mate Gogs. He sold it a year or two back to a guy who worked at ford. I was out on my motorbike in july and passed Indy Car Sales and it was up for sale there. Its a shed tho!

G48 CVW?!?! where did you work on that? Im pretty sure thats "Dumped"'s reg. Marty bought the car from Newmachar 5/6 years ago i think but lived in Glasgow.

VIW is Rog and he comes on here under his number plate i think.

Stoo

I think he means he used to own them...?

Boost Junky

Ah.. I think my mate used to own G58 CVW.. Got my wires crossed.. New it sounded familiar

david

Whilst were on about cossies from Aberdeen, who knows G86 VGG ??

Lambchop

iTrader: (1)

Is that the moonstone one that Bradz owned? He still comes on here. Did you buy that one yeah? Did you get it up and running again?


chop

david

Aye its the one, I stripped all the running gear out of it and sold the rolling shell to a mate who also comes on here.

You mind of it much ??

Lambchop

iTrader: (1)

nah Bradz didnt have it long and i dont think the car was about here before that...he might even pop up here like a bad smell

david

Told me he owned it twice

Know it wasnt exactly the best looked after motor but Brad was honest enough to tell me he fucked it whilst kicking the shit outa it so not a bad bloke

E399 FRS
My brother bought it from a right dodgy bloke many moons ago you know who you are

He sold it to my M8 Neil who ragged the $hit out of it and then sold it on to another M8 of mine called Charlie. He also nailed the life out of this thing for all it was worth. It then got sold on to a guy out at Banchory and then i started loosing touch with it.

My brother sold it on with just over 105K on the clock. I put a post up on here once and stated how well it ran for the milleage and got a reply from someone saying that it only had 70K ish on the clock oops

Lambchop

Clark owned G48 CVW but he either wrecked the engine, wraped it round a post or both (sorry Clarkie )
His talent is following him as well with that nice Moonstone 3 door that he bought from Nick. Put it this way the exhaust wont rust from the inside out

Lambchop

iTrader: (1)

cheers for that paul!
so clark owned e399 many moons ago? well at the end of your story the guy from banchory was my mate rory. see my post for what happened next lol. i hope noone else from here has it next because its a nail!

Clark owned g48 did he? thats DEFINITLEY Dumped's car. Hope he never wrapped it!

SO come on clark give us the history. when did you own her?

Chops,
Yes C1ark owned it. Think he got it off his Dad.

It wasnt always a nail, My brother stuck in a stg 1 Bayjoo and the thing went like Łuck run faultless for the 4/5 yrs he owned it.

Heres a pic of when my brother owned it. 2nd in working class

You should never try and find out your Cossie's history, it's like trying to find out how many blokes have done your missues in the wrong 'un previously - only ever going to end in tears

Phil,
That is so true. My 2 M8ts that ended up with this thing after my brother wellied that thing for all it was worth
What else would you do to a cossie that only cost 2K

vroooom ptssssh

Howcome your bro sold it for 2k

and when was that pic taken? looked good then

rstoughy

iTrader: (5)

He never sold it for 2K My M8 PX'd him a E30 325i Sport for it which he kept for a further 6 yrs.

That pic was taken at one of the RSOC days at the Ardo House Hotel. I still have the trophy it won on that day sitting in the shed i will have a look tonight and see if there is a date on it.

C1ARK

Worked on the cars in the garage at the end of my parents house(i was young when i had them).

E399 FRS was a really strong motor. i won a prise at the rs owners club too when i had it, i had just turned 18.. almost 10 year ago. Sold it to toughy jnr so i could buy a series 1 its had a bit of a life mark from aboyne owned it to.

Never smashed G48 CVW was like new. Did come from newmacher. heard it went down to glasgow when i got rid of it.

TEV well thats a story in its self.


Your correct mr tough the inside of my exhaust will not be rusting. The exxon valdees couldnt of done a better job..

18 with a cossie

Did you trade the cossie to Newmachar? thats where marty bought it. any old pics of it?
He uses this bb so i'll point him here.
Its in a rather special state of tune now if you search for posts by "Dumped" you might see pics of the turbos...


chop

C1ARK

If i have pic it will be of the standard type. i will have a rake around the pit when i get back and let you know.

Did here it was running 8 injectors or something.

Ye 18 in a cossie in 1996 was a bit special altho i had to work pretty much 7 days and every hour of overtime going..and was always broke.... fu*king worth it tho

Dont think(CVW) went back to newmacher,it was my company car you see

Lambchop

iTrader: (1)

its quite special but i'll let marty explain if you're lucky

Im sure he bought at newmachar. when did you sell it and where to? nice company car!

C1ARK

It must of been around 98/99 i think cant honestly remember would have to check. Cant honestly say if the car went back to newmacher or a deal was hatched somewhere along the line(I think i may of met his old boy surname doesnt start with a R and end in a s does it)

Does it have rondels on it? im sure i saw it in a mag years ago.

Must dash or i'll miss my tea. later all

Bradz

David- G86VGG was a Good one in its day,Ideally i would have liked to keep it and get it back on the road.

But im looking at another one if i sell my RS 1600i

dumped

G48 CVW is indeed mine And I have to say I still love this thing to bits - hopefully more so when i get home


..... it has had a slight revamp though lol

I got the car off my dads work - yes I am Iains son. Couldnt really pass it up as its all i ever wanted. I only knew that the car had at some point gone through Newmacher as it was on the plates etc.
Was a strong little engine in it. As far as i know it was running pretty standard when i got it but I think it had run greens etc before as that was passed onto my dad by your dad. It was chipped within 2 weeks of coming down the road. Ran like this for a good while and a hell of a lot of miles as it was my everyday car, ragged the absolute nuts out it but kept it good.
When a shootout came up for the mags we sneaked NOS onto it. So it was a stage 1 and NOS - did go pretty well As I'm sure lambchop can agree with our little run down the road Ran this for 6 months ish i think. Pulled the engine when the oil pressure started to get low on it and was filling it up too often. Apart from a worn oil pump and quite a few bent valves the engine was pretty sound. Corrosion in the head was welded up good and it was rebuilt to the 8 injector engine.
..... Yet more fun, limiter limiter limiter then i had a little oops with the law

To stop more oopses I did a deal with the engine to get the car off the road for a little while. That was some years ago. The car reappeared on the road this year with a new engine in it and a few other mods.

Body wise the car has had a wing as a stupid fuckin bitch neighbour reversed into it out the drive. But after sitting so long the paint has taken a pounding - so it does need a respray etc at this time - underneath the car is still very good so if things go well it will see a revamp

You will remember it like this but standard wheels


Its now a bit more like this




And and has one of these hidden under the inlet manifold lol - not piss taking


I hope your good

thebigyin

f347 lrs is a grey sapphire cos, not sure bout 346,think ive seen it

thebigyin

anyone know e352ess?

dumped

Its on the rollers in the 3rd pic alas its just a standard 2wd engine in it just now made out of cardboard and sticky back plastic - just to get the setup running

Clark - Cant remember your 1st name but did you not get an EVO after the cossie - like a zero fighter import or something. Remember my dad telling me something about it but it went offroad I'm out in texas just now so cant ask him the specifics etc. Sounds like there were lots of fun cars in the family Why my dad traded the M5 just as i got the cossie i will never know.... chicken!

C1ARK

Holly shamoly martin thats a big turbo . it does look a lot diffrent..(got any spares) good solid car. it was running standard when i had it, company car u see .i did put a chip in it but took it out fake A.B i think.

It was a evo 5 with mountune ecu etc . It did have a small trip offroad. (it was my dads i got relagated to a 1.6 golf) The sierra should of given your dads M5 a good go i think.

There were a few fun cars kicking around

Hope shes running well
