G40 Charger wanted

ereeiz · March 08, 2011, 01:10:12 PM

I'm after a second charger, my original is in need of a service but rather than spend money on that at the mo I'd rather buy a ported one that's recently been serviced (or isn't due a service for a while!). Then I'll service my original one and keep it std at a later date.

Anyone know of any knocking about? Could you post a link if you do, or PM me, etc.

Cheers!

i think me and pete have a spare for sale, i will ask him as he has it!

we do - just waiting for bearings to arrive to swap them out /seals- ensuring its squeeky clean. Hardly any porting (minimal) on it though.

Sorry should have said I'm only really interested in a fully ported one to be honest. How much are you after for it just out of curiosity?

port it for him pete lol

PeteG40 · March 09, 2011, 12:21:09 PM

we can do it together, dremel's in hand, opposite each other like lady and the tramp, i can be the lady if needed.

does that mean your calling pete a tramp?

Port one half of the casing each.. go as far as you dare and see who has the most balls!

DKnight · March 09, 2011, 06:18:13 PM

me being a lady and pete a tramp are great descriptions really

on a serious note i dont mind porting it, but obviously the cost will be a bit more

i will speak to the tramp over spaghetti tonight and see how we get on

haha - last time dk took a charger apart he was pissed and used a chisel

Filling me with confidence there! lol.

Well, PM me with what you have in mind for price (once ported) and I can make a decision. It still feels silly quick to me at the mo, but anything would after 10months of 1.0 4speed 106. I know full well I'll be bored of it in a week or two once the novelty wears off and the inevitable Polo-ness sets in (crap wipers, crap brakes, etc), so I'm keen to do something about it whilst I'm still budgeting for stuff on it.

I fucking love my car, I'm grinning even now, just thinking about it!

Made a few of the guys at work smile all day too when I took them out in it yesterday. Woop woop!
