hiya guys, just a bit of pre warning, ive come to possibly buy my old white 4 door back and its ben advertised as having 125k on it, i am worried as i know the engine is the same because of the inlet, i painted it red,and a few other items, has been probably clocked as i sold it with 133k nearly 6 months ago,i dont care what anyone says, the new owner is pretty dodgy, and i have spoken to a few people and they have been saying its been ragged to f.uck,the reg is g115xrg and its an alpine white tech 2 kitted 4 door with black alloys,i am not doing this out of spite but the new owner may decide to break it if they read this,i am just warning possible new owner of buying this or any parts off it, the kit is a cheap fibreglass ebay copy but a very good copy at that,just please be warned, i am not sure of the username but i have spoken to them and they have been bragging they could sell it as whole car or parts on e30 zone, some of the car is ok,but if its mechanical....dont touch it, i have no reason to be spiteful guys,just as an e30 owner i wouldnt want to be f***ed over

Cheers for the heads up mate! I had to space out your post as I coudnt focus on it!

As for the car, if it surfaces on here as a whole car, be sure to get it mentioned to the moderators to get it locked up. :? Bit uncool if they have clocked it... Especially for 8,000 miles. You sure its not just new clocks in it?

Regardless, cheers for the pre warning mate

even with new clocks in it,which may be a possibilty as the fuel gauge was temperamental,it is still not showing true mileage,id be annoyed if i bought it and found out it had done more than it said ,im not always at the computer to get on here so could people keep an eye out please, he wants around a grand for the whole car,it has m tech stripes on the bonnet just above drivers headlights on an angle(small),if he does break it guys, just make sure you view or test before buying..just dont buy the whole car as its defo been clocked or had new clocks :(

UPDATE!!!!ive just spoken to the guy via text and hes admitted hes changed clocks and its been ragged,(welded diff for driftin amongst other things)and that no one wil beleive me unless i have proof,unfortunately i dont have any proof other than my word,hes still bragging that "some muppet"will buy it regardless,so if you do buy it ppl,i have warned you,it has been ragged to f*** and its prob worth more in scrap,when i went to look at it it had a bent up footwell in passenger rear with rust hole,clocks were wrong ,and it sounds rough as a dogs a**e
