i thought i'd email him, as i have nothing better to do lol


Sorry... But i can only laugh at you! I thought i'd waste 10mins of my day to email you, just to point out that you clearly no nothing about cars!! Because a) if you think a badly modified overfuelling carb is worth £1000 then i think you've been inhailing too much fuel vapour, and b) if you spent that much on it in the first place then you have far too much money and no brain.
Best of luck with the sale lol

1.3 beating a vtr, hmm? lol.

I've beat a 16 Saxo VTR in my 1300 nova that had a standard engine, but the nova was fully stripped.

So it can happen...

He's replied...


No mate. im new to ebay. sold the item else where for £60. as i am new to all this i didnt no how 2 remove an item from the auction so i just increased the price so no1 wud bid on it. so dont be smart. You must no a brave bit about cars iv u can tell a carb is over fuelling without looking at it and by reading a small description. and u must have no brain my friend iv u have nothing better to do than sit in front of a computer and run every body else down prob bcus u think u r the dogs and hav sumthing like a 1.2 spi nova sitting in your driveway with neon lights and halfords alloys so next time when u go to laugh at sum1... use ur head chimp boy. Good luck with the neons.

Send him a link to the post. I was going to say its a typo but still £100 for a Pierburg twin choke carb is shocking... They are made to open in stages for a reason and the inlet Unless matched to the head won't add a thing sounds good when you tell people tho :)

17-08-08, 02:06 PM
i just emailed him back and said that they're designed to be twin choke for a reason... and said i make take a leaf out of his book and fit neons to make my car faster lol

17-08-08, 02:09 PM

Ernie
17-08-08, 02:12 PM

Dew to the second choke being open all the time with this stop the freeze up problem that happens when you lift of the gas peddle ?.

vtr's are slow because they are fat and french. therefore anyone who cant beat them in a 1.3 needs a slap
