The photo of the compression results is mine, cheeky son of a gun has stolen it!

I\'ve reported it to PistonHeads.

Was it on photobucket or something ??

What is going on with the intercooler ??? Plus I\'d be very worried about oil temps, the oil rads are completely blocked off, or is it just the photos ??

Yeh, cheeky sod!

I\'ve emailed him asking to remove the image, not sure how he plans on explaining to anyone who comes to see the car how he hasn\'t got the compression results shown in the advert.

He\'ll reply stating he\'s just out of the country and you\'ll need to send him £3k as a deposit.................total scumbags!!!!
I had a scammer going for weeks a few months back by telling him i was on my way to the bank to pay the full amount in cash. When he requested my contact details to "ship my car" i told him my name was Ivor Hardy of C0ckwell Inn, Tillet, Herts.
These people only catch people out by greed, if somethings too good to be true then it usually is.

Bwahahaha! That car\'s spectacularly repulsive! :D
eBay headlights? Check.
Terrible shut lines?Check.
Vile chav interior? Double check.
Ridiculous IC placement? Check
Exposed capacitor terminals (!!!!)? Check.

£7? I\'ll give you half that.
Chavs: Know your limits.

If he\'s linked the photograph - edit it and put some \'wordage\' on it to the effect he\'s bummed your link - and edit your for sale post to point to another photo.

Why does it need a Power Cap when there doesn\'t appear to be any ICE in it anyway?
As above, that IC is hillarious. Looks like a hare lip, if that car were a person it\'d have a straw sticking out of its mouth and sit on gates playing banjos at passers-by!

holly smoke. things are getting bad if you can get a single turbo rx for that cash, i just spent 3k on my seq twin on the engine, not to mention the other 8k i spent in the last year. id prob get offers on the price of then engine alone ouch, still my friend bought a cerbera for 32k sold it 1.5 years later for 18k, and with a 3 yes 3k service, ouch ouch ouch. great time to buy an rx7 but its a shame that the price of modified parts has not come down to suit, by the time im single tubby i could have bought your car mate and kept my blown up one as a spare

why dont you send him an email thru ebay just asking why the reg from the compression test differs from the car - and see what he comes back with - that would be more interesting :D

NOOOOOO!
 
Some people eh, wrecked the front bumper! Bonnet fits well also.
 
If he wants £7k for that then mine was an absolute steal!
