This is the white one that was outside Worcester? with the blowing exhaust. Was going to look myself but the advert was incorrect being advertised with 114k but this things has had clocks changed possibly as i remember having a picture of it on the wall of my first house when Karen Richardson owned it and it had done 130k then.

She sold it to a vag technichian who removed and rebuilt engine and then had the car resprayed again in white.

Over the years its had some serious cash spent on it, when KR owned it, it was sweat.

Good stuff. Where did you buy it from?

Any owners from Bristol circa 2006? PM me details if you like, can provide the road name where I spotted it?

edit: I actually spotted it a few weeks after too, had a couple of blokes in it.

my girlfriend will be here tomoz and shes going to put the photos on, I'm no good with photobucket and all that html stuff :lol:

the only thing thats annoying me is the bumpers sag a little, I've took them off and there a little better, plus its had a new fuel tank and the kid said the breather is pinched (pump keeps clicking when your filling up) but I've had a look and couldnt see anything pinched :?

any ideas??

So whats actually been done to it? Not many G40 chargers have broken 170 horses?

Is the engine capable of with standing the 170bhp, i mean i have no idea but i bet it fucking shifts... O I WANT ONE!

Yeah engines are fine with it tbh, think hayes is 190 horse on a standard bottom end, just the G40 charger that gets weak about 160 plus... highest bhp off one was 190 that was jabba's test car and many were sceptical about it. people have spent thousands but peaking at 180 horse
