Quiet the opposite actually Fud, it's finding the time to get over to you as been working all day today, just walked through the door now, it's a bit dark to view it now! Only thing that worries me is all the horror stories that come with the 2.5 but it looks an absolutely beautiful.

Cheers guys.
It was owned bye prodrive from new they did the ecu from day one, 0 miles so the engine is solid 330bhp on a 2.5 is nothing.
Ive ran 450 pleanty of times,Was only the fuel cut issues why these went bang in the early day's As most hatch owners will tell you.
This is how i buy a car and how i think is the normal way.
Ask all your'e questions about the car if your'e happy go view it and buy it,Its that simple.
This is what ive got 100 pms 1 question in each pm over a 10 day course,Then nothing of 90% of the members lolol Crack heads must be the time of year.
Me and john have come to a deal with a cheap part ex he just needs to get here 30 mins away and he be driving it away,But i can see it happening some 1 else will see it and it will be gone.

I think everyone that owns a 2.5 worries about it to be fair, I've had it before with me p1, you listen for every little noise thinking the worse, I know I'm only 30 min away, but if its in the dark it's no good!

Mines been running a US SCD block for around 5 years now at various boost levels and min of 350bhp, I do think people hear all the horror stories and not people that are happy, its not been a daily driver for 3 years of that but I just limit max boost and don't drive like a tit all the time

It's the horror stories that puts people off which is made as there is no doubt a higher percentage of owners of 2.5's that have had no issues at all but they just don't sing and dance about it but they do hear all of the owners that have been stung, I'm sure that half of the horror stories from owners have not mentioned that they haven't had it serviced before it went, turned up the boost, we're abusing it the day before on a track.
It's nuts, how many classic JDM's went pop but it's never looked at,
Someone will get a great car here, hang in FUD the right buyer will roll up
