Default Check out this idiot!
The dyno graph is faked. It's actually from Martyn's drag Impreza from 2009!
Not only is it clearly in 4wd, the correct date of 15/10/2009 is on the graph..
The lengths some people will go to just to have the Enginetuner seal of approval!

He's just been on the phone, apparently he's going to sue me for "Deformation"

I think I can prove he's an idiot actually...

OK, sorted now, I think the guy has got the message! He bought it with that graph, but didn't believe us when we said it was false.
He's removing that bit from the advert.

It may seem like overkill, but we aren't going to stand by and see someone misled using our info!

It's fraud at the end of the day Alan, and you rightly have your rep to consider.

Yes it needed to be sorted you can't let that go, could end up coming back on you. I don't think he was doing it on purpose as he hasn't done it with his other listings.

He's just chopped the bottom off the power graph so the real date is hidden. More 'deformation' required as this guy is taking the p1ss

Yes that's the one.

He's cut the bottom of the picture off from earlier on to hide the date.
