Tbh I have no concept of race myself, a bloke is a bloke. I wouldn't have been put off if it was a 7ft black bloke. I also had car valeted for atas collection and even cleared out my garage for spares. There was a massive black bag of bits on the back seat with a spare set of headlights, spare set o...

He knew it was genuine, thats my problem.

If he didnt do a hpi check beforehand then its his own fault

Of course its fair to knock money off a car but he had put a deposit down knowing the car was £800 with no offers. Its a tech 1 for gods sake! As has been said before it's easily worth that in parts! I know there are 2 sides to every story but whats the point when the other side is from a scammer? I...

Jim, he didnt turn up being a d!ck, he was nice as pie up to the point I wouldnt reduce the price enough. I'd already told him I wouldnt accept offers. He had obviously set out that day with a plan in mind of paying less than I wanted for my own car. A deposit isnt refundable, if he didnt want the c...

But ata is to blame over all of this? As I said, if he'd have turned up and said no v5? no sale? i'd have refunded his deposit and possibly even given him a bit towards his travel, but he then went on to lie to me and basically commit fraud. He wasnt using facts to lower the price, he was lying, so ...

Sorry mate, not you, just a bit stressed out over all this!

jim320i, would you happily tell someone that their car is a ringer when you know it's not just to lower the price? This isnt a case of bald tyres or a scratch, he said he would get my car impounded ffs! I think a few of you need to put yourselves in my shoes!

Apart from imply my car's a ringer and threten me? Including threatening to call the police about my cut and shut car so that I lose it? Scare tactics just got my back up and my gf had to tell me to calm down, I was close to smacking him. Calling me allsorts in the street. To be honest I cant believ...

firstly. the vins do match, as i'v proven. secondly, if the v5 was the problem, why did he still want the car? As soon as i said the v5 has been lost, he should have said, im not interested and we'd have come to an agreement, this man tried to rip me off plain and simple. Cecotto, he told me the car...

To be fair to the mods, banning him wouldnt have stopped him trying to rip me off. He contacted me from my add on pistonheads. cecotto479, I believe he planned to take the car home for about £400 (plus the deposit he had paid to hold the car). Because I know what it's worth, he realised he would hav...

In an other post, ata said you'd bought a car off him?

So would you agree that once I have the v5 and the vin numbers all match, that your posts have been pointless mobster? I dont know enough about cars to know whether the rivets look 20 years old but whether they are new or not, its the right vin plate?

He wouldnt make an offer, he said whats the lowest i'd take. I said I'd take £775 as I love the car, know its a tech 1 despite what he was saying and its worth more in parts, he said that he wasnt happy with that then went straight to demanding his deposit back. He knew I wasnt open to offers and be...

If he was that worried about it why would he still want the car? I dont see anything wrong with it, the car is 23 years old and matches the vin number under the window. So because at some point in it's history its been bent, it means it's been messed with? It's not loose at all. Another thing ''mobs...

The_haywood, yeah we all came up a few times, I know suzy well and stryder a little.

Pic of the vin printed under the windscreen. . . http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/4197/dscn4810x.jpg Pic of the vin plate. . . http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/1411/dscn4807b.jpg This is the vin number that bmw checked and gave me the build sheet for, showing that it is in fact a genuine tech 1. I...

Right just about to post up pics of the vin, bearing in mind, ata claimed the numbers didnt match. You can clearly see the plate has not been messed about with. I just cant believe I have to prove myself on here to people who will blatantly want the car once they've done their checks. The_haywood, c...

The guy is well known on here as messing a few people about, he's the one mouthing off in this thread. I'm now leaving it to paypal to decide what's best. As for everyone moaning about the v5, it proves nothing. I could still be anyone, it could be forged, the only reason they exist is to make it ea...

I'm at a wedding at the moment so haven't had chance to reply. I'll inbox you later

Iv lost a week of potential sales due to this man, I also mot'ed it at his request. I am the one who has lost out here. If he was that bothered about the v5 why did he ask me what I'd take for the car knowing I couldn't find it?

He's just text me this. . .

Uv been to the police I beat u to it u stupid dickhead, I will get my deposit back wait and see I don't need no fuckn claim court

Mobster, how friendly are you with this guy? Im a genuine Person with a genuine car yet your taking the side of the liar/cheat. Iv bought cars with no v5 before as it means nothing.

Sounds like you have a reputation? You even threatened to call the police and inform them of my "ringer" you dick! The vin plates haven't been tampered with, they both show the correct vin, you just wanted a tech 1 for peanuts.

^^ LOL

I do see your point mobster but I KNEW where the v5 was and then my missus has tidied it away yesterday, I offered to bring him into my house and show him I.D to prove I am who I say. It is also not a legal requirement to sell a vehicle without a v5, it is only illegal to fail to notify the dvla. Pl...

Cheers all, appreciate the support. The cars behind security gates now so they cant really do much. I'd have been so pissed off if it'd got sold on the basis the vin numbers were different. As far as i'm concerned now, I have his deposit and I can relax and know my car's genuine!

I'v got my e30 tech 1 up for sale and just had 2 indian guys turn up to buy. Heres the full story. . . About an hour after the ad going live on pistonheads, he called asking to put £100 deposit on it. I agreed and said i'd hold the car for 2 weeks. He also asked for me to mot the car, which I did. H...

Hello all, First of all i'v tried to search and found nothing helpful! lol I'm going from prefacelift to smiley headlights and i'm sure I read somewhere that someone makes a little kit to make the swap plug and play, is this right or did I dream it? If there isn't such a thing, which wire's do I hav...

I replaced the blower motor on my sport, fiddly but an easy job, chris warburton can probably sort you out

Might have been me mate, but mines on an irish plate and is a sport?

I'm 26 and have a tech 1 sport and an e34 535i (engine and box will be in the e30 just after xmas). I must admit I recently thought about getting an s14 200sx but got talked out of it. Best choice i'v ever made! I agree, being young doesnt mean you dont appreciate an e30 but on the same note i'll ha...

I agree with everyone here. They are really fun cars and a much better drive than most other cars of the same age. Start slow and you'll soon understand wet weather driving,

Lol I was already going to come to you for the mounts mate, just reading your build thread now!

Is there a big difference in driveability/performance from a 2.5 to 3.5?

thanks for the info, What size fan is best?

I think i'll get a custom exhaust made up and proptech are very close to me so they should eb able to sort the prop.

Sorry for all the questions but whats the benefit of the steering linkage?
