Another great day at the scrappies what a find

[Drewvic]

Well went to my local scrappies today to get a ecu for the brother in laws mr2
but as I arrived noticed few more Audi A3's in
and to my luck 5 1.8t oh yes I had to have a dable
so started with the look for a head light switch a mine is getting worse for wear
so got myself a nice clean one


then I lifts the bonnet to see whats what grabs a few bits I needed, grabbed the maf as looked pretty new, few bulbs, and the I see this little red T piece, so took it off don't know what it is but think it could be something to do with the N bypass


then the MRS cherps up its got a back box on, so goes to have a look and was a home made effort, BUUTTTT goes to the front and what do I find but a nice 3" downpipe and decat whoop whoop whoop and all for the price of £18 quid with some other bits I grabbed bargain


there is also a rather nice full leather interior in one of them aswell, not to my liking, but if there is anyone on here after one let me know also if there is anything anyone wants as I will be going again at the weekend let me know

 

[Drewvic]

if anyone has any ideas what the re t piece is please would be great thanks

and not sure on how to upload a bigger pic bud

 

[vwbandit]

What colour is the interior ?? As I may be intrested in that cheers

 

[Drewvic]

its all black bandit

 

[vwbandit]

Hmm that's very tempting is it in ok condition ?? Cheers

 

[Drewvic]

yeah it is mate, my mrs was trying to get me to get it, but im not a full leather man
if it is still there at the weekend do you want me to take a few pics for you, it £100 for the full interior but if its a barrow day its £50, plus vat, but obviously you need to get it ha

[Drewvic]

well I will take some pics on sunday ,mate see what you think im sure we could come to some sort of arrangement as these wont hang around atal especially on a barrow day, peeps just tend to go with vans and take everthing and sell it on the bay and stuff especially th pollish

 

[vwbandit]

ok then thank you and yeah im sure we can if needed and i can imagine. is the same down here but we never seem to ever get any audis in our scap yards its always polos and lots and lots of french cars thanks again

 

[Drewvic]

mate this scrappies is nowt like you can imagine, there must be over 3000 cars there all in sections, by make, and model, all lifted off the floor so you can get under, quid to get in and cheap as hell its a proper mans cave hahaha,

 

[vwbandit]

damn your so lucky sounds like my type of place haha and a great place to escape the missus for a few hours

 

[Drewvic]

hahaha my mrs comes with me and loves it mate shes into her cars so im lucky, she loves getting involved and mucky

 

[vwbandit]

best of both worlds then i just get the ( you spend too much time playing with your car) talk all the time haha. but its cool. maybe next time im up that way ill take a detour and look at this scrapie myself

 

[Phil-1]

I'm from Harrogate, where is this place as I need some bit?

 

[Lavis89]

Wish we had a place like that down the southwest! looks like some awesome finds. The tee piece doesn't look anything special, looks like it's got a check valve built in to it, can buy a normal tee piece and some silicone hose off the bay for under a tenner for the n249, probably a bit better than using 2nd hand stuff

 

[@udi A3]

I wouldnt mind having a look around here, when are you going back i might pop round and say hello!

The website looks a bit poor... when is this 50 quid day?

 

[Drewvic]

phill the scrappies is at full Sutton
I shouldn't be telling you all this all my prize finds will disappear lol

lavis I had thought it would be something like that and yes I agree that new would be better but something nice and colourful like that I had to pop it in my pocket hahaha ooooops hope no one from the place is on here

Audi A3 the next barrow day is this weekend I think I will double check but let me know and I can meet up with you and show you where it is as its abit hidden for newbies

I'm going to struggle to get there now, work commitments.

 

[Drewvic]

shame phil but I will be confirming wether its this weekend or next they like to keep it underwraps for as long as possible strange I know, but for some reason they only let you know last minute you have to keep checking website or ring them but luckily I have a friend on the inside who lets me know when these are on and when certain cars im after are coming out to stock

 

[Phil-1]

If you go could you keep an eye out for a Bluetooth module, and a SB driver's front door seal?

 

[Drewvic]
