hhhhmmmmmmm lol

good spec but i'd be a bit wary at 121k running such high bhp (or is that just me???? )

[sc0rpius]

something dodgy going on for sure.

[Guest westallc]

only one has a big spec lol the other is k04

forge front mount lol more like a stencil

and 2 places have the same car for sale at the same time something not ringing true with this one

[modra_vrs]

Decisions, decisions - that is to decide which of the 4 mobile numbers to ring ...

[Oet]

think roland rat.....

[Oet]

Bargain

The one on autotrader is the right one folks

The autotrader one is from a dealer and I live 5 minutes around the corner from there, and in one of the pictures it is clearly in the dealerships place.

So the other one is dodgy.

I reckon the pistonheads advert is the original owner selling the car before part exchanging the car at a dealer. This advert looks fine to me and details everything that this type of owner would.

The dealer advert on autotrader is the car after it has been part exchanged, and hence why the details are a bit sketchy.

The pictures maybe the same, but thats quiet possible as well, especially if the dealer just lifted them off pistonheads.

What should have happened is the original owner should have deleted/marked as sold the advert on pistonheads.

[Oet]

is it on ebay too?

you what why would the dealer put it has a k04 and 300bhp and not mention the full engine rebuild with 1.9 engine etc etc gt28 turbo and 357bhp a massive difference

so what you say i cant see being true can you ????

Sorry I meant the one on autotrader.

[Oet]

does seem odd like clive said,

cut and shut or ringer perhaps?

[sc0rpius]

All sorted boys. Rang the number on pistonheads, he confirmed that the car is correct spec on the pistonehads site. His mate put it up for him on Autotrader and aint got the right details.

[snow_muncher]

its either a dealer trying to pass a highly modded car off as a slightly modded car to make it more sellable,

or a equally hooky seller trying to pass slightly modded car off as a highly modded

either way it stinks

Its all sorted now, no need to panic.

[Oet]

i rung him too.....didnt know much about the engine, or turbo/manifold.....couldnt tell me exactly what make they were....said the turbo was from ebay tho :wonder:

also its not a forge fmic at all but an ebay one......boooooooooooooooooooo

[sc0rpius]

hmm, I asked him about the turbo he said it was the GT28 RS, I rang the pistonheads number. which one you rang?

[snow_muncher]

Gave him a ring a few days ago actually - told me its was a GT28 - but could tell me what type - didn't even seem to understand that their where different type of GT28 !

Now its all fine 'cos someones admitted its a KO4 ?

Way way hooky

[Oet]

ph one, guy called adam,

said was a gt28rs,

so i said, what a gt2860rs..?

he went, er, dont know...

i asked where it was from, he said ebay....

then asked what make mani it was, he couldnt say

asked what FMIC it was, he said autobahn88 (ebay one)

asked more bout engine, couldnt really give me any info?!?

[Oet]

ph ad does say autobahn88 fmic too, so forge stencil applied i guess
