Cheers Paul

Thats right on my doorstep, not seen it about?

It's been on eBay for abit now seems like its had some money spent on it,
Also looks clean from the pics

Yeh it dous look clean, but as ive found out in the past, pics can be decieving lol, Ill have a ask around a few mates to see if theyve seen it around? & let you know if i find anything out

I cant say ive seen it before .... it doesnt look too bad in the pics ... but to be honest none of them do its better to see it in the flesh listen to the engine for rattles .knocks smoking etc and ask yourself if hes just had loads of work done recently why is he getting shot of it .... bob is probably the best person to see this as he has had most of them in at some point or heard about them lol

Cheers bud ideally I'd like to go n see it at the weekend but can't be arsed with a wasted trip

EDIT they've said it's still in use daily but just checked on insurance data base n it's not insured so abit fishy lol

if its from stockport area it wouldnt supprise me

I've just rang he's now not using it everyday, it's just parked up,

Now he said he bought it a few months ago as him n his mates were gonna go to the nurburgring but everyone's dropped out so now he's selling this as he only wanted it for that,
All mods done around 4 months ago n just had new Exedy clutch fitted

Something just don't seem right to me might give it a miss

Make sure he's got a legit recipt for the exeedy clutch as there alot of fakes about.

Also i heard a black pulsar binned it at the local cruise about a month ago? I wasnt there so not sure. Not saying its this 1 but maybe look for crash damage if you do decide to look at it?

don't recognise this one tbh, one of the few that's evaded my attention

but couldn't agree more with what people have wrote above

paul.....no good looking at pics etc you need to get out and about and look at the things and look over them properly too, unfortunately 90% will be wasted trips on piles of shagged out rusty piles of pooh lol
I know as ive just bought one myself on a whim without looking or listening to engine properly when hot, got it on the lift and the things absolutely fookin rotten underneath and the engines fooked also. the only saving grace is the fact it has some good bits fitted so at least il get some of my money back on the pile of crap that it is.

its a minefield out there at the moment with regard to buying, way way too many lashed up piles of crap about
good for us though as people buy them and then want the bits to fix the poopers

Cheers guys might give this one a miss something just doesn't seem right to me ill just keep saving and see what else comes up

Cheers bob is there anything inparticular you'd listen out for when the engines cold and also once hot?

Will probably end up buying one off of you bob lol

when cold they tend to be relatively quiet so get the guy to take you for a 15 minute drive in it and ask him to floor it aswell, look out the rear window for smoke when hot
once shes back lift the bonnet and rev the car between 2-3k rpm and listen out for bigend knocks (dull heavy thud type knock) if you can hear that then walk away unless hes gonna drop massively on price allowing for a new lump.
check for excess crankcase pressure
slipping clutches
noisy clunky whiney gearboxes
leaky headgaskets
plus give the bodywork a good checkover (especially underside) a couple of little rust patches on rear arches is way better than buying one that looks mint on top but a rusty jacked up mess on underside

just bare in mind your not gonna get a mint faultless car, virtually all of them will need some degree of work but you need to separate the lemons from the shiny apples with a maggot hole if you know what I mean.

one more tip.....if car looks immaculate and been blown over at some stage bring a magnet with you as it may well have just been tarted up to sell.

also if car comes with loads of history take this with a pinch of salt as many of them parts previously fitted may have been removed (including forge engines)

don't pay any attention to mileage as it means nothing on a 20 odd year old car unless its backed up with full history from japan from when car was new, too many have clocks changed at some point or have been abused on track etc.

Thanks for that, I don't mind buying one that needs some work just don't wanna buy one that's a total shitter,

There's not many for sale at the min really so will have to keep an eye out n see what comes up

Rattles mainly top ends can be abit noisy due to the shims then the illusive bottom end knock wich gets louder as it gets up to temp ..... also places to check for rust are the obvious rear arches the sill in general and towards the back end of the car where the sill ends and meets the arch ......think thats covered most of it ..... feel free to correct me if im wrong .

Damn bob you keyboard master type far to quick

that's coz im a pro office worker now Leighton
gotta go file me nails now

Shouldnt that be nail the files

ur tan needs a touch up ya big office biatch

how you know bigboy you been stalking me again
ive told you about that before

Im always a bit cautious when the grammar is so bad, makes me think the advert is a bit rushed etc I can understand when they are dyslexic as my mate is but even he knows how to spell check

I agree bad spelling just makes the seller look a bit of a moron! I especially hate when people write brought(to bring) rather than bought(to buy). It's a simple mistake but you see it everywhere!

I agree with the above, if the seller can't take time or has the knowledge of how certain things are spelt then clearly or English is shocking then dont waste your time.

I mean. Warlborough fuel pump

disagree with the above i can do a hell of alot to my car as good as the next. I am a proven electrcal intruder alarm and fire alarm engerneer (Sparky ) . stick a computer infront of me or writing stuff down and a kid could do better my writing is a joke because when kids were sitting in the house i was out fixing my bike few year later motorbikes and cars. i am quiet clever just have no interest in writing or spelling so am lazy so come across stupid well thats my excuse and i am sticking to it. Lets admit most that do manual work are not wanting to sit in offices and most people in offices can type etc lack a hell of alot of common sense with diy tools.i could do what alot of people do in a office would just take me three times as long as them but i would put my wages on they could not do my job or anything manual and i dont just mean lifting etc.

back on topic the only advantage of a car like in the add if bodywork is good and its not crashed a good base to start from with parts even if lump gives up if that makes sense suppose its not the ideal way to go but i bought a solid car good engine still give up and had to start again and buy brakes suspension etc costs a fortune either way

I do agree with you johnny my spelling and grammer is awful i never bothered with school i was more intrested in earning money .... im no brain surgeon but i get by lol but to be fair johnny if you really had a problem spelling or writing surely you would get somebody to help or write it out for you .

I can see where johnny is coming from! I had to re-take english gcse 4 times before I passed it. But not reading through your add before putting it out to the world just makes you look bad.
