Dreamr Posted 22July, 2021 Report Share Posted 22July, 2021 This ad was up 12 months ago, same price, same no response to enquiry. I tried on a few occasions to contact the seller and every time, same silence. It's been on and off a few times, each time the same thing happens. Seller is a tool .. don't know what his end game is but in a market where it should be a $160k car, it's still $118k If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck .. caution required on this one! ..

I have but am somewhat having buyers remorse kind of,if this car was available a few weeks prior and is as advertised , even though I actually got what I wanted , yes I love my car but.. 😁 🤷♂️ I wish at least I had a few more options . But I am willing to give at least first impressions re visual presentation for any interstate buyer before they commit to traveling to check it out. Apparently it’s less than 10ks from my place so not an issue for me. Also I feel the urge to solve the mystery re this car.

Figured out the most important dash setting yet? After the novelty wears off, If its not tuned, get it tuned. As a boost junky, these cars are next level when you see >= 1.0 on that boost gauge. A turbo's a turbo perhaps, but not convinced doing a third gear pull at WOT using predominately your thumb with last century tech is as satisfying as going even older school tech and having to engage your left leg.

Third gear pull is the most noticeable butt dyno smile on your dial go to gear change. Back to back the other notable change was a bit more movement in the rear end when one it and caught me out initially. Joz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joz Posted 24July, 2021 Report Share Posted 24July, 2021 ^^ thanks, seeing as I’ve on just purchased my car I have been wondering.
