Title: Bargin Performance.
Post by: Bellend on 05 July 2011, 15:17

So Mr Mexican drops into work wants a erm well not a service but the oil (but not filter) and air filter changed.

So I stuggle pulling off the airfilter lid and found out why this car is such a damn rocket.

Tbf, I thought it sounded like a turbo, so it had me fooled for 2 minutes, til I realised it was a proper turbo anyway.  :grin:

Customer had just bought said car. Real bargin. Oh really?

Wife broke your dipstick? No problems, screw it.

No need to worry about panel gaps! The chassis is so bent you needeent worry!

Obligitory "OEM" foglights.

And the worst part:

Would you like some icing on your fairly high priced (but its mint) cake?

How about a blatently faked service book?  :grin:

Everything should be straight, everything pointing down.  :grin:

@Benrevs, owner bought a "mint car, well looked after for age, carefully driven, not a write off and not stolen".

The owner is quite dim tho.  :grin:

Universal Turbo Supercharger, Air Intake Fuel Saver Turbonator Fan
(With a Single Aluminum Propeller)

** VARIOUS MODELS & SIZES AVAILABLE: SEE TABLE BELOW **

This Single Blade Fuel Saver Turbonator Fan provides a more dynamic control over the intake system by forcing powerful airflow into the combustion chamber at a high speed.

Once the engine is started, the propeller spins to create a maximum turbulence in the incoming airstream to allow for enhanced fuel atomization in the combustion chamber, resulting in significant increase in horsepower and better gas / fuel millage.

With simple installation steps, you can enjoy going faster and furtherer whilst saving gasoline all at the same time!
