See now, if you'd done this a week or so ago, you could have bought the engine out of our breaker for £400 with turbos still attached. But now it's half in bits and I'm keeping it for a clean build engine. I still have the rad if you need it too bud :D

well won an engine complete with turbos on ebay last night £27 hopefully its a good one aparently only done 80k

£27? Something seems a bit fishy there, lol. Everyone has their reasons, but if I was putting a running engine with turbos on ebay, I'd be starting the bidding at £300 minimum lol. In fact I did so and it had watchers but didn't sell, maybe this is why :D Oh well, my gain I suppose, I'm rebuilding it now :lol:

hollow point, any chance of the rad piccies

Yeah I'm just off outside to take them now mate. I had to wait til around now to take a break from work. Seems like my colleague is off again :(

well when i rang him this morning he didnt seem that happy that it sold so cheep but thats the gamble you take when you are to tight to put a reserve or starting price bought a complete roof for my mx5 with heated rear screen for 99p once his postage was £30 so drove the ten miles to his house gave him a quid and said keep the change lol there are still bargainsd if you look

Yeah we've bought plenty on ebay for naff all too tbh, when we first came back from NZ Rose basically kitted out our entire house from Ebay alone near enough, cost us bugger all, which is good, cos that's what we had, bugger all, lol. Running TT engine with turbos though, well done mate, gotta say though, that's gotta hurt the guy who stuck it on ebay, he's gunna get like £3 in listing/success fees etc. too, so he really didn't make much on the engine lol.

Ahhh the land of the long white cloud...

 

The rich in power, pushing the middle class lower so they work for less so they can make the rich who fund thier election campaigns more money.

 

Greenies having a cry about mining all out untouched minerals saying we will destroy all our beautiful scenery, then in the same breath asking why we arnt growing as fast as australia and why did they survive the first recession so much better.

 

Essentially the whole world is going down the shitter.

 

All these politicians who are trying to save thier own slimey face, we've got "the smiling assassin" running NZ .... that presents so many problems.

 

eventually if we dont start getting our minerals out, we are either going to go broke... or aussies minerals will run out and they will invade nz for ours...

 

Or worse aussie minerals will run out just as we finally get our shit together, then the aussies will come take all the mining jobs.

 

I could go on for pages about all of this but i'd be likely to kill somebody. :gun_bandana::cowboy:

Well said bud, a little :offtopic: we have now gone, but that was one thing that always killed me in NZ, everyone bitches about the economy, but no one wants to do a thing about it, whinge about the economy as an immigrant and as it turns out, apparently you're the problem! LMFAO
