Turbo Noob

Post by pac1982 »

Hello people, though I would introduce my self, my names Rob I’m from Leicester, joined the site so I could do a bit or research.

I’m currently on the hunt for a 406 executive petrol turbo with all the trimmings. Ideally black with cream leather :cheesy:

Looking to tune it to about 200bhp so any advice is much appriciated

Hi Rob, eventually caught up with the bloke with the tubby exec. It's a P reg, China blue with black leather, 130000 miles, FSH & new MOT, bodywork "perfect", he's looking for a rather optomistic £1000. :?

Let me know if you'd like to be put in touch with him.

Right, the news is that my mate has just bought a Shitroen Picasso, so if his Tubby Exec isn't sold within a week or so he'll be trading it in. So he's now open to offers in the region of £600 ono, much more like it IMO. I forgot to mention above that it's got new brake pads all 'round and new discs on the front. It's also recently had new suspension ball joints for the recent MOT. New exhaust middle and back sections. All the usual "Executive" refinements including full electric pack and 6CD changer.

The car is in Bridgend, South Wales and needs to go within the week or it gets traded in :cry: . If anyone wants Richard's phone number just let me know. Go on, make him an offer, you never know! :cheesy: 8)
