Yes, but surely you take all the pics in one go ?

It could be taken that some of the pics were taken in um... better times?

I certainly don't think the seller took a few, realised that the wrong plates were on it, so changed them, took more pictures and still decided to upload the ones he took with the private number on, instead of simply re-doing those shots.

But yes, it does make challenging reading doesn't it?

Could he not have just been using pictures of when he bought it and some newer ones with his private plate on?

Personally I would not buy a car from a person that has written an add like that, I don't care how good the car may or may not be, he just comes across as a total retard.

id imagine you already know. it puts a lot off strain on the turbo when it stalls. turbo might be fine but its an unnecessary strain.
i dont see why people see VTA dump valves as unacceptable silly noises but makeing your turbo stall is fine

Yes - but then he wouldn't be using up-to-date pics would he?
As I said, perhaps pics from better times?

My car's not what it was when I bought it - and that's just a few months ago.

I bought it if it is the same car we are talking about, sounds like it is. I didn't pay 8.8k though and it was a nice good car. Ive been looking for a while for a black good condition wide track and this his is the one I found. I dont mind paying a bit more for 'the one' that I want. I dont think it was over priced at all. Its PPP as well.

Uprated turbos can take it and it cuts down on lag between gear changes.
vta dump valves on imprezas cause the car to run rich as the maf meters for the air that should be dumped back into the intake.
but this air is vented out but the car still fuels for it.
over fuelling also causes bore wash.


but i imagine you already know this.....

Great spot.
Fancy a job as a proof reader ?

However, looking really closely and critically, the interior 'upgrade' could be to con someone into thinking it has DCCD.
Also he says "0-60 in 4.6 I think".

Well, mine's 362bhp - but 350 f/p - and allegedly it manages 0-62 in 4 dead.

In fairness, the 'Hawkeye seats' could be detrimental.

Puffed up, and the guy's not even doing that properly.

I bet the bacefook scrubbers will love it.

Yet he's omitted that a highly regarded mapper has uprated the suspension.
