that looks much better. i would go and test drive it and see it in person and then make an offer...but does look and sound good with good single turbo spec, guages, bling factor and show etc

some times you have to take chances...i have been hearing few good things about wifbits recently.  The car\'s specs look very good and if it boosts and drives fine then worth a test drive + ask them if they can provide you with a compression test?

Whats with their name...
It sounds soo silly.

Like another garage I saw selling an RS200, the garage was called \'Titty Ho\', I mean seriously would you want to get your car from there ?
:D

Just bear in mind that a good compression test does not necassarily guarentee a perfect engine.

i have been to them before, to pick up a bumper.  they said it was in good, condition which was abit of a lie.  if they are on the same premises, it is a little random unit with a gravel carpark, court yard.  there was a few rex\'s there that were waiting to get work done etc.  a couple of skyline were being worked on.  
in all honesty they seemed to know what they were talking about.  they got rotary rebuilds done by someone who builds them for dragon or something like that.  
they are not a rotary specialist but would think it is def worth a look.

No one builds our engines for us, I do them myself.
