Could have purchased this whole car for that price and it has the raider interior with it.

Want to buy a spare parcel shelf for £70

Is the interior brand new? Because thats crazy money. Turbo brand new?

Av got three parcel shelfs, but one has three HUGE holes in it!!! the prevoius owner put a huge suba dn speakers in it and bent it like a banana!!!

The interior and turbo r both second hand but the turbo is only a couple months old.

I probaly would have bought that 5 and took the parts of it but am wantin the white 5 I have posted a thread about

[Sy5GTT]

[Bigfoot]

gt tuning would have loved you as they were renowned for charging sky high prices, but as money isnt an issue for you,no worries

[R5GTTdrew]

Yeh he said it is mint, am just waitin on pics, but al have to send them via email to someone and get them to put them up cause a cant get onto photobucket on here, its banned

[Bigfoot]

Why not upload them to your profile??

[Chris Hebden]

Glad your happy with it mate, i would only say next time shop around a bit more and dont go for the big brand "tuning" companies, they are well overpriced!

[raj]

hmm, i dont know if buying a 2nd hand turbo was a good idea.!

i wonder what adam L would charge for a new turbo of the same spec.?

A brand new full T25 is around the £500 mark. I now which one I'd rather have.

[R5GTTdrew]

Good thinkin Bigfoot, never thought of that, thats exactualy what al do

[R5GTTdrew]

To b honest mate I cant b bothered shoppin around, I will say I looked for about a month to find the Raider interior but no luck.

Atleast with the big brand companies when u buy u get what they say and if not u just send it back and you can pay for it over the net! I dont have paypal

[Bigfoot]

A brand new full T25 is around the £500 mark. I now which one I'd rather have.

Yep the brand new one

[Tiny Tim]

Atleast with the big brand companies when u buy u get what they say

Like Group A carbs?

[R5GTTdrew]

[R5GTTdrew]

Like Group A carbs?

well if it isnt then u just send back the carb!!

[R5GTTdrew]

Yep the brand new one

Whats the difference with the T25 and the T28???

[raj]

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...%3DI%26otn%3D2

Adam L hes knows his turbos.

[Bigfoot]

Whats the difference with the T25 and the T28???

A lot of difference, you will be waiting around for that T28/T3 to spool up, and when it does you will have a kick for about 1k revs then you would have to change gear. Have you got the rest of the engine to suit a larger turbo. What boost will you be running. You just using it for drag use. T25 are known for a great all round turbo and is the preferred choice on this site for all round use

[raj]

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...%3DI%26otn%3D2

jeesuz surely that size turbo is going to take some revving to get it spooling up.?

[R5GTTdrew]

So the turbo technics T25 hybrid would b a better choice then??? And as for internals, am gona get a rebuild from Precision engine service by me and get it speced up for more power, am only lookin at gettin about 200bhp.

Am thinkin by ur comments the T28 was a bad idea al see if he will refund the bank and keep it!!!

[R5GTTdrew]

ok bad investment

Dammit a should ask b4 I buy! Lesson learned

[Tiny Tim]

Mate, it seems like you've got more money than sense!

As you say, lesson learned - there's more than enough knowledge on these boards. As for 'tuners' - just be warned that what you buy isnt always 'what you get'. They wont think twice to sell you something thats completely unsuitable for your engine to make a quick buck. Again, if you're in doubt, do a board search or ask on here directly and you'll get the best advice guaranteed.

raider door badges cgb=50 rtoc=6 cmon fella

[Tiny Tim]

To add, I had a turbo not dis-similar to that on one of my old 5's. The only thing it was good for was economy on my daily commute down the M1. it didnt even think about spooling til 3.5k+ and by the time it was on full chat it was time to change gear. Totally unsuitable for track/spirited country road driving.

[Mudslinger]

I always thought CGB was a breaker didnt realise he was a top tuner these days

[Schakal]

sorry to see this is turning into a thread of FAIL
should really have asked before you broke the bank matey .

Cheers for the info, av spoke to him and the turbo is bein kept......by him!!! Al be keeping the Turbo Technics hybrid then.

Hardly broke the bank mate, was only 900 for the lot (minus the turbo)

[Bigfoot]

Im still trying to work out costs of the interior and how got 400 for the lot

Drivers seat - £87.50
Passenger seat - £87.50
Rear seats - £65
Carpet - £100
Door cards - £60

Whatever I change they are just crazy money for them. I could sell you my whole raider for that price and you will have a spare seat. a spare parcel shelf. And raider alloys.

Is the FMIC brand new??

The FMIC is a brand new Forge one. As for the seats it was 250 for the front 2 and the rear bench, then 100 for the carpets and 57.50 for the door cards.

I payed that cause he says they r mint and I just cant find them anywhere else

[djinuk]

cgb is expensive but ive used him a few times for daft bits and bosb, and his delviery time is spot on. I brought 2 doors locks, and boot lock and a Petrol cap, plus the key for £28 delivered.

[Frix]

mate as long as your happy dont worry what other people say.

but do shop around you can get things abit cheaper within the club and its members!

[R5GTTdrew]

I bought a Raider front seat, mint, for £10, and a black carpet for the same price. I was offered the rear bench for free, but I had no use for it so it would have, and did, end up in the bin

And at Bob selling a second hand turbo for £500, but he doesn't even know what it is

[Sparkie]

to be honest, if you are happy, then that is what counts.
you looked for a month for a raider interior with no results. - so you go out and buy one. its a simple case of supply and demand.

you will find that alot of people on this site, will lambast you for spending that amount of money on an interior, that they could have sold you for half the price...however, if you came on here asking for a raider interior i reckon there would have been a 95% chance that no one would have had one for sale. - the only reason it is now, is due to the wonga you've just spent on it.

as for the t28, fit it and enjoy it. it will require you to change your driving style to get the best from it, but for ultimate power thats what you need to do. the smaller t25 type turbos are good for back lanes and twisty roads, it depends on what type of driving you do.

Man you got ripped off.

I bought a whole raider for £200 just need to put it back together.

[The new Bill J]

As has been said, as long as you're happy, and you've got what you're after, that's the main thing. I think Sparkie has summed it up pretty well in the post above.

Thanks Sparkie, it was the case with the interior, I searched for ages and couldnt find it, I was gettin offered rear benches and a door card, but I was wanting a complete set of mint seats, and well av found some so am happy!!

As for the T28, where I stay its all twisty back roads, I live in the sticks so am gona go with the guys thoughts and stick with my T25 hybrid

Thanks for the info

[R5GTTdrew]

I wanted a mint raider interior so I have one now! Am happy

Am wanting everything brand new on my raider, am not gona half ass anything on it. U will understand when u c it in the flesh. Av got the money to spend on it so am going to

[Bigfoot]

I was putting that comment to Bill. I prefer working on a budget. Spent too much on one car and trying to do the opposite on another. Makes it more interesting trying to source parts for a raider.
