Whats the story with the intercooler and a standard GTI - worthwhile having and at what price

Hi Dave,

Whilst the others are circling....I'll answer your question.

The S3 cooler has a larger volume and flow capacity than the standard GTI and has cast ends rather than plastic ones. The heatsoak effect that you get in warmer weather is reduced and so the car doesn't tend to feel as flat.

The intercooler from the S3 is worthwhile getting if it is still in one piece and you'll need the pipes as well. As new you'd be looking at around £250-£300 for it, but second hand if you want it then seek to pay under £200. :happy2:

Right chaps....

Edition 30's both 3 drs, Both Manual, One White, One Black
S3's are Manual. One Blue, One Silver

All four have been rolled, interiors are ok.

Bumpers are intact but may have some scratches.

He'll do the VW Rear badges and mechanism for £30

He wants to sell the Steering wheel NON MULTI FUNCTION gear knob gaiter and handbrakes and alli trim with the edition 30 badges for £180 - wont split

He'll do the radpack for the S3's comprising Rad/Aircon Rad and intercooler for £150 - no intercooler pipes unfortunately

Interiors

He'll do front and rear door cards front and rear seats for £600 as long as both go so maybe Luca, Greenouse, Big Al get your heads together. HE WILL NOT SHIP THE INTERIORS THEY ARE COLLECTION ONLY FROM MANCHESTER - I CANT FIT THEM IN MY CAR

R32 rear lights  - £200 for both cars rear lights thats two full sets

GUYS THE ONLY THING I'M HAVING FROM THIS ARE THE BRAKES AT A PRICE I HAD ALREADY AGREED, IM HAPPY TO COLLECT SMALLER ITEMS FOR PEOPLE FROM DOWN SARF AND SHIP THEM ON AT COST (£8 FOR UPTO 20KG, 48 HR SERVICE, INSURED TO £50) WITH UPS. I DONT WANT ANY GRIEF OVER TRYING TO HELP OUT, IF IT ARRIVES AND ITS NOT WHAT YOU WANT THEN EBAY IT, OTHER THAN THAT, ITS BEEN A GOOD IDEA, TO GO THROUGH A LONG LIST OF STUFF AND LET HIM KNOW AS A FORUM WE CAN KNOCK OF £2K WORTH OF PARTS ON A PHONE CALL, THIS MEANS WE GET FIRST DIBS NEXT TIME
[/b]
(and I might find myself some recaros for my GTI  :sad: )

so just to confirm I want zero grief, If you want me to pay for stuff on your behalf, I'll need the money in my account prior to Saturday either by bank transfer or paypal gift, BIG ITEMS WILL NEED COLLECTING FROM MANCHESTER

One more thing chaps - this guy is a bit of a lobster i.e. hard to handle.

Im trying to avoid many people ringing him for a "chat", we get best prices, by gaining his trust, pitching up on time with a wallet full of cash and picking his cars clean. Im happy to supply the guys number to anybody who wants it right now, if you do want some stuff then bear in mind HE WILL NOT SHIP STUFF ITS COLLECTION ONLY FROM HIM FROM MANCHESTER, smaller items I can ship for you at cost so budget in the £8-£10 for delivery (bubble wrap is expensive!)

So if you do want to ring this guy direct then please by all means do so just dont mention my name and then kick him in the stones pricewise, if you ring up and dont mention my name then the prices will almost certainly be worse, dont then say "Dave brown said you'd do it at this price" ring off and get you mum to ring back!!
