"Heads Up"

Hello all,

Not been about for a while on the site due to work. But been on pistonheads today looking around and seen this... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2328787.htm

Please Be warned.... This car is local to myself and know its owner and past owners... the guy who has sprayed it done it himself ( not professional ) its been done extremely poorly... The reason why the carbon bonnet has been sprayed is because it was shot to pieces.... Flipped up whilst on a dual carriageway and dented the roof aswell which has been filled... coilovers are only on the rear and the fronts are cut springs. The car has not been remapped as i was there when it was dyno'ed and it was running extremely lean... there also is a crack in the manifold.
And just to top it off its been driven hard every where!

So please people be aware.

186bhp on a td05, not very impressive!!!!

and why try and sell a car with terrible dark pics where you can only just make out its a starlet???

good advice though mate. if someone didnt spot that stuff and bought it they would be in for a bad time trying to sort it all :(

very good explanation of a screamer pipe lol

Screamer pipe (valve from the turbo will kick in after so far to allow noise to go straight from turbo out, makes it sound like a beefy motorbike)

The fact he cant spell "Glanza" "glaza 186bhp!!!!!!" he makes a big deal about how much power its got... then you read that the blower is a td05?

* Carbon fibre bonnett and spoiler (bonnet has been sprayed white)-Due to me rolling it

* Also have the decat to fit this for MOT. correct me if im wrong.. pretty sure you need a cat for the MOT? :p

* Absolutely rapid car!!! And due to its good looks it really does turn heads.( blue with a white bonnet?

good heads up there though, repd fella

Thought i might bump this up, Was a friends old car before he moved on to bigger and better things.... he put the turbo on and was going to forge it etc... he took it to circuit motors next to castle combe and was just tested to see if it was ok and that power figure came up... no mapping on it at all. Just please dont buy it. i would much rather burn my money than buy it. and the carbon fibre bonnet is fucked! big time. its not just the laquer.

Cheers.
