to be honest the people who are bidding are abit dim anyway, dont see how he thinks he can get 140bhp out a gte engine on the standard inlet/airbox/throttle body? he bought the engine like that with no proof or history and no spec so where does he get 140bhp from??

it hasnt even got the vin tags on by looks of it in them pics, would love to see the state of the floor numbers bet ya can see the weld marks where they have been put back in lol

what a clown

30-10-06, 01:41 AM
went to view this sat spent 3 hours driving there and we went in my 2.0l 8v got there and by god as you come down the road it did look mint!

But it is F U C K E D the vin plate is missing and has a lump of ally self tapping screwed to the slam pannel with numbers dremel style engraved on it the entire engine bay is plastered in oil and has been hammerited in silver car hardly even ran in his deffence it has got a vernier pully on it but belt looks like its about to snap and thats all it looks like its got it smokes like nothing i have ever seen he freely admited knowing this and then added that he runs it on tractor oil!

it has the worlds crapest paint job. the paints peeled of the boot and is red underneath inside the boot its white and it looks like the bottom cros member at some point was blue! the wheels are scratched and kerbed 2 **** bottom of the doors are nearly gone rear arches are made of filler!

and to top it of he claimed that it was more than 140bhp when we got there and that it will piss on my 2.0l LOL
That was an invite i could not refuse

i estimate that my sri130 big blocked sr thats striped and ways a tad over 700kg with the 4 branch,straight through system,induction kit,f16 box and a few other bits and the fairly recent rebuild is roughly about the 140bhp mark possibly a little more not sure should in theory have been a fairly close match to each other

so if that was 140bhp why when we went out for a thrash did i not only do him of the lights and not my a small amount either but also when i sat behind him at 100 how did i just pull out over take him and pull away to the point of which by the time i was of the clock he was nearly out of view in my mirrors?

the guy is a tit it reminded me so much of majika gsi he is a gobby cap wearing spotty chav and all he could keep telling us is how he had some1 who was gona swop him a mk4 golf gti for it and when asked y hasnt he he got all defencive and started rambling more crap

jamie gsi16v
30-10-06, 09:47 AM
ha ha ha couldnt of said that better myself, you really have hit the nail on the head ste, the car is all filler and peeling paint, no even painted on the inside, there is no weld or anything round the chassis number on the floor as he hasnt even changed the number, i feel really sorry if anybody wins it!!! maybe they will see sense when they go and pic it up.

jamie gsi16v
30-10-06, 09:51 AM
Isnt this one of your mates or used to be, or have i got confused?

used to be, uv seen the condition of his cars phil, you evan had the ****ty corsa in for a while which hes driving around in now, just didnt think it was fair letting him sell it to some innocent person knowing it was a ringer!:eek:

SuperNova!
30-10-06, 10:22 AM
Has anyone reported it to ebay then?

Olli2004
30-10-06, 10:41 AM
I thinks its a shame too. It does look at really clean motor but obviously not!

Would ebay just not let him sell the vehicle on there?

Matt2107
30-10-06, 10:43 AM
if its a ringer then he's breaking the law... hence they would remove it.

ste porter
30-10-06, 11:35 AM
the black corsa he has on the drive is also a heap and on the phone he was also telling me how thats a minter ppl like this do my head in i came very close to just launching him what a waste of a saturday best part of 50 quid in fuel and about 350 miles on my clock that i didnt need what a tosser pluss the search continues now for a minter so if anyone knows of a standard ish tidy gsi or similar anything considered aslong as the chassis is solid i have cash and price i want to pay will be reflected in the condition of the car

30-10-06, 02:41 PM
it pisses me off when they say a car is mint then ya get there its a hanging shed, i went all the way to south wales from west cumbria to look at a nova that was "mint" ,i would have killed the lad if it hadnt only cost me 6 quid in veg oil to get there and back, plus there was a nice chippy so not all was lost

Philsutton
30-10-06, 05:20 PM
Wish i had some pics of the drive shaft he had in the corsa. I know he didnt make it or put it in but he's still driving it with it in lol Ive seen full exhaust systems with less bends in it than that shaft.

you after a full car or a shell, my turbo shell is for sale and it is 100% solid!!!! just wants some paint on the inside, all seam welded/plated withstood a 300bhp c20let for over a year, only thing which might phase you is it has a 6 speed gearbox mount welded on as i ran an f28? after 600 quid bare or 750 with doors wings and boot which are also 100% mint.

may be interested mate but the project is a joint effort with a strict budget of 2.5k and 200 of that has gone on the current runaround a 1.0l g reg 2 door salloon that came complete with a moss covered roof lol will have a bit of a chat with my mate and see what he thinks realy we wanted something that means that we have 2 spend as little as possible cause it leaves more cash for the engine ect plus if we start on a bare shell like that we have then gotta alocate money towards an interior ect as the build spec that we decided on means that we want a full gsi interior ect so it may be easier to just find a complete gsi

pmsl lol

i was looking at the car on ebay actually woundering if it was just some chav, but then i thought nah it carnt be cause in the pics it looked mint, so thought it could of been genuine, but obviously not!!

ste im glad you didnt bid mate!

fair enough but then, atleast with mine theres no time/effort/welding etc to be done. what engine you going for, for 2.5k budget i could build a 280bhp nova turbo using my shell
750 shell
250 coilovers
100 mount kit
150 shafts
1000 on cali turbo for engine/box then brake the cali turbo and expect a good 500 quid back
leaves 750 after braking the cali, thats more than enough for wheels brakes interior and exhaust and a good copie evo 5 chip and fpr

leaves you with a very nice turbo

matt2107 cheers for dropping me in it, now he knows iv let his secret out iv got to watch where i park my car incase the little **** slashes tyres or keys it! well done

im sure that he will proberly come back to this forum to see what else has been said.. so if a few of us just make it perfectly clear that you are respected in here and should he do anything would be dangerous for him morso then you.

funny how that reg you have looked up is for his old car that he wrote off, the actual car in the pics has a differant reg which he filled the log book in as scrap and sent it away and transfered the plates off his crashed car onto the new car pictured so he still had tax and mot, thing is that car is now ment to be in a scrap yard according to the chassis number on it!!

Jamie - In retrospect I probably wouldnt have done it but you did post on a public forum so should have been prepared for him to find out it was you. You can't assume that he doesnt check this forum or have friends that do.

I appreciate you were warning people off it but from the comments made on here if someones thick enough to buy it then they deserve everything they get.

Anyways... its done now!

Will be interesting to see how much it goes for and whether its relisted. ?5 says that it'll be broken for parts eventually.

i dont think thats true, how would you like it if you didnt know about cars and you endded up with it, i called this to**er and he told me it was mint i was going to drive all that way to look at it, good job my misses talked me out of it, i think if i had found this car to be as **** as its ment to be i would have prob hit the little f**ker, and if i had payed the ?1400 he wanted for it, i would have parked it in his livingroom via the front window, i hate little t**ts that try ripping people off with cars.
