Hey all, found a nice FD that me gonna look at soon...
92 plate, gunmetal grey, Veilside C2 front and skirts.
Quick question tho.......
Comp test done by Pip in Aug \'06 showed these:
7.75 7.65 7.15 â€" Front
7.35 7.35 7.50 â€" Rear
the car has done around 3k since then - should I expect the results to have changed much? Or is that a question of how its been driven, cared for, etc??
CHeers in advance
T
decent figures Pip is reliable
if the cars been looked after and not hammered all 3k miles then there wont be much change in the comp results bud, when i had mine done pip said it takes a while for the bits to ware doon :) good oil is the key lol
cheers lads, the guy has an Evo8 as well, so I reckon thats the one thats been taking the abuse! Just outta curiosity, does anyone up here in bonnie Scotland know the one im taking about?

Could have. The key point is, dont rely on a compression test as a guarantee that you wont need to pay for a rebuild in the near future. It gives a good assessment of overal condition, but doesnt rule out an apex seal failure for some random reason, or coolant o-ring failure around the corner...
Buy it with your eyes open, these can be very expensive cars to own if you are unlucky.
cool, thanks guys..spoke to him today, gonna go see it next weekend if it hasnt been sold by then...
car looks great mate in my opinion.
as rich said compression can change anytime so if you can tets it at point of sale. generally it looks like a nice and tidy car.
