Bilstein suspension, cat back exhaust, usual coolant pipe upgrades, that's about it and tbh, other than a remap and rear ARB, that's how it will stay :-)

Always nice to see one enthusiast sell to another!
Congratulations on your new purchase!

Hmmm, Mario's old car. It's been well looked after by him so should do you proud.

Yes fella complete pisser and I'm not going to start judging people but I do have a feeling the seller knew there would be a issue, but not going to dwell on it as it will get me no where.

My son may have one, but he is not completely convinced of its suitability yet: he is checking it out in the next couple of days.

It rattles between 3-4k rpm,
I saw the oil pressure gauge drop to zero just before.
Funny enough it does not knock on tick over.

If things don't add up, & you can agree possibly with the seller that the cars failed due to things you had both seen upon viewing the car, You then have some come back I would say,
For example -
2 years I sold an MR2 GT-S Turbo to a guy, He looked at it, drove it, loved it, It was left idling outside for 30+ mins shile we talked £££,
It then turns out the head gasked failed on his way home so badly, He needed a whole new engine,
As the car was 100% fine with me, & upon test drive etc etc, When he demanded I paid 75% of the repairs, I simply said - Fluff off.
It's tough - and i am sad for you pal, Just hope a lump is sourced quickly for you,
P.S - I am interested to know the points of you believing how the car failed? What was it that you saw / noticed?

I agree and I have been civil about it, I can really cause issues if I want but those days are gone, shit happens. Car is silent on tick over but knocks 3k and over, oil pressure went down to zero at a set of lights, so putting those both together = bearings. I could be wrong so will put up a vid in a minute.
