Jakeyb 23 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 well what a disaster that was... blow out on m6 on way back ( car had just had new "sick" tyres apparently) .. miss advertised for jokes... 2nd gear syncro blown out of its head.. ( kid said needeed oil n would be fine lmao) .. drivers door lock dont work ... wants a dreaded thermostat as he said " she just runs a bit cold" what he meant was it sits 1mm above the 70 mark ... few creaks n shizzle.... shame cuz its quick .. but id love to know wat the box is off as the ratios are so quick .. on way back it was doing 70 at 3k// one of the loudest shitest sounding exhausts ive ever heard.... gotta love a good sunday night Link to post Share on other sites
CALICO 130 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 As soon as he said "SICK TYRES" I would have walked away. Did you not check anything before buying it? Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 it could have a 3.68 final drive or another final drive if gear ratios will bring your revs down like that, I have a 3.68 but cannot remember what mine sits at doing 70 Link to post Share on other sites
