Was sent a link to this, When i sold the car it was in pretty good condition, technically solid and bodywork was fine with no rust or dents (other than odd stone chip), in 9 months the new owner managed to crash it and go through two engines. Is it just me or do folks get sad when they see cars they use to own getting abuse?

Failing to make boost then, failing to hold boost would mean it hit the 1.2 then dropped off rapidly (although it will drop off top end anyway, its just how quickly it does it) could well be the turbo in that case.

Problem with cheap turbos (unless they are second hand units) tends to be cheap chinese knockoffs. Why do they think the turbo? is it failing to hold boost? not making boost?

shall go have a hunt for info later haha

not sure tbh, wass talking about it the other day and someone said the leveling had got alot quicker so might give it a go again when i finaly have net haha

No need to upgrade the tensioners etc save some money and just buy standard ones.

Yeh mine was the same, was fine one day, then the next a slight rattle on start up and at 2k ish rpm. You having it rebuilt or second hand one?

ah k, not a big fan of shooters on xbox. shall be getting it on pc what ever though. Wonder if they will ever do a game that you can play multiplayer across both?

Im now due to get net next monday, so may be back on in time for the division, maybe, maybe not lol you guys pcing it?

At a 100k it's pot luck as said above, mine developed a crank rattle at 104k and had I not had it stripped as soon as diagnosed it would have let go sooner rather than later. Assuming the oil change was done correctly then i suspect its just coincidence. Unless you have driven every mile in the car then there's no way to know how it was treated previously. The crank bearings in mine looked like this when the engine was stripped down, To get 30pmg average you must have been using the right foot very lightly lol

welcome. V-limited?

and those on the witch hunt have put down their pitch forks. Door swings both ways ;)

As above, the first map the car has will make the biggest difference to how it drive imo. Response and driveability are massively improved as well as extra go. Just beware of place promising figures higher than others and make sure its a proper custom map, not just a flashed on generic one

Haha. :D

ECU will need swapping out as well, syvecs for the win hehe

Best bet is have a chat with them and see whats best route for cost vs spec vs what you want from it

The oJust to add, the oinly downside of a JDM is it wont have the burble of a uk due to the differing headers on it (equal vs unequal), unequal in the UK giving it the noticable burble

Welcome. First off the JDM models are higher spec than uk models. The 2.0 in the jdm is a much much stronger engine than the 2.5. the 330s will have the 2.5 so can suffer the same ring land issues. Between the two i;d bve all over the JDM like rash where as the 330's i'd be straight in for a set of pistons. While they dont all fail despite what somepeople claim, there track record is not good and personaly i wouldnt want to risk it.

Grand cheers :D I'll let you all know when im on. On a brighter note, the first few levels i went up i got a veyron super sport, 1 million dollars, renault f1 car, mclaren p1 and a few other odds and bobs hahaha

PC or console Xander? I got the forza6 special edition xboxone so when i get net i'll prob get xbox live going for some forza fun and games

lmao, jolly green lovster, epic. Have you spoken to them about it? what history is with it?

An issue that the car arrived with? why should they fix a problem that was nothing to do with them in the first place? and then he threatened legal action, not clinic. Did you actualy read the train of events properly or mix it round to suit?

Doesnt mater what they say or some people will not be happy with it.

the way the community is now its normal

Hence why someone of 15 year service has left the company. what more do you want them to do?
