Huge claims, huge bhp, apparent trophy 172, gumtree special

[Ross009]

I'm bored i'm going to get involved in this!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Nope, have now.

The coilovers were imported and built specially for the car...

Must have taken months of development, I assume some of the japanese engineers came over and stayed with him and went to trackdays every day etc to develop them?

Its a bargain really considering the 100s of thousands of pounds it would cost to replicate, and thats before you take into account the unique history of being the fore-runner to the clio trophy and the only one not in Red etc.

Must be a misprint on the advert, gotta be a zero or two missing?

I've been called a **** sucker.

 

[GrahamS]

It's absolutely my pleasure for sharing this.

I'm assuming he's one of these serial lairs with nothing to substantiate anything.

The only think he seems to know is what the going rate for a standard one is

@JD brilliant, cliosport gold

 

[172Ben]

I'd text him but I CBA with him having my number

Goes off to find spare phone....

 

[Ross009]

I've been called a **** sucker.

Ive been called a dick :S

 

[Chip-mk1]

He will probably update the ad to say something about "timewasters" now, lol.

 

[JD]

Apparently if I don't leave him and his adds alone, he'll be done for harassment. Win win?

 

[GrahamS]

Just seen the original facebook poster put it was "CHEEP"

Apparently this is standard. I've asked if the Japanese engineers from BuddyClub came over for both cars to help with the development of each set of coilovers.

 

[Mr R.]

I've been called a **** sucker.

Oh so you two have met?

 

[JD]

Oh so you two have met?

Yeah apparently. Although I only know one person in Wales and she has four legs and wool...

 

[172Ben]

They do sell buddy club coil overs for the ep3

 

[JD]

Yeah I asked him if he got a deal. One standard set for the Civic, one custom set for the Clio.

He's gone quiet now. That's the end of that clearly.

 

[172Ben]

I'm starting of texting him nicely, just asked if he has a RR printout... Mentioned my last Clio only made 204bhp on ITB's so I'm curious...

 

[C8DGY]

Nope, have now.

Really he just told me they are V max and he was mistaken lol

Rule no.1 of car buying.

Never buy buy a car from Swansea.

Lol. Uh oh. Watch out, Ben - he'll be done for harassment!

Really he just told me they are V max and he was mistaken lol

Looks like my bout has made him cave!

 

[172Ben]

He's confident

 

[JD]

He's getting very annoyed now. In fact, it's getting quite abusive. I've asked him if perhaps Vodafone should be informed of his behaviour.

 

[172Ben]

Spelling on my iphone is terrible, but I imagine it makes it easier for him to understand.

 

[Sargara]

Sick bruv.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Wish I had the spare time and money to take him up on that, I would be amazed if it makes over 170bhp!

He's confident

 

[Ray Gin]

HKS do Clio parts?!

 

[Jaff.]

Should say, for every 10bhp under 240 it makes you want £100 reimbursed + the cost of the rr

 

[Chip-mk1]

His Kousin Steve made the cams when he was cleaner at an engineering firm and could sneak on the machines at night.

 

[JD]

I've asked why his Vodafone number is PAYG (he told me in response to the above), as surely it would make calls for his business, SCUFFS wheel repairs, much cheaper. Or has he not informed HRMC of his business venture...

 

[Chip-mk1]

Should say, for every 10bhp under 240 it makes you want £100 reimbursed + the cost of the rr

then you would still end up paying over a grand for this piece of junk.

no thanks!

 

[Jaff.]

£1k for a reasonable Clio isn't bad?

judt because the owner is a douche doesn't mean the car is a wreck

 

[James]

Someone text him the link to this thread?

What a chump

lol! I saw a 172 exactly like this car in Mc d's last sun but in Cardiff. The guy was heading down the motorway towards Swansea on the way back though so must be him. It has to be the same car as how many do you see with green alloys?lol. Guy was necking some bird violently in the car park parked up, lmao. Me and my mate were in tears!
