Default AVOID THIS CAR!!!

Hi the guys. Im just osting this up as i spotted it on Pistonheads. I saw this at Torque of Keighley and had an inspection done on it. It failed misserably, accident damage that affected bodywork and drivetrain. Was absolutley woeful.

This joker has bought it from them for £8,000 and is trying to flog it for £15,000!!!! What a laugh!

Honda : one off show honda

Avoid this car as its a stinker. Pass the good word on.

Noticed that. The RS looks sweet though. Shame his write-ups look like they've been done by a 3yo kid.

Quote from BMW ad:

"as you can see bonnet sits up little bit one side dosent look that bad pics make it look worse its carbon so the bonnets always stick up one side"

But yes, that RS does look tidy.

They never told me when i asked them even after having the inspection done. They then proceededto say that it had no accident damage and they had document from Japan showing history. Funny thing was that those documents did not relate to the car itself.

And to top off the sneeky **** they do, the driveshaft was buggared and they has smothered it in thick grease to stop it knocking. This was amoung other things.

But he claims the RS is standard

apart from the later kit - lights and rear wing
different wheels, zorst , dump valve , pace intercooler, samco hoses and alloys - not that standard then !

Its to compensate for the airflow disruption caused by the “special” lopsided bonnet. They have them in The Fast and the Furious
