you make sure that the cheque clears and you have full copies of drivers license and 6 points of I.D

Too many local cars get ripped off with very good fake cheques and matching i.d's.

Thanks for the heads up Stevie... I didn't know that.

Will be very careful checking ID's etc, and will photocopy licence on that note, however given its a bank cheque (which I will take into a branch while the guy is still here) I'm feeling confident that it'll be ok.

i thought bank cheques are as good as cash because they debit the funds straight from your account when you go to get a bank cheque

Not always true.. Hand written cheques can fall thro..

fake cheques can have printed writing.. aint mean there real. if that makes sense.

Old boss got ripped off by a fake cheque.. well nearly.. it was for 32,000 he picked up the dodgyness before the car was gone.

Yeah, I'll be sure to check things over VERY carefully.

That said, the guy is trusting me to have the car I say I have (which of course I do), and after talking to him ofen enough now I'm pretty sure he is not going to do anything like that.

I'll be talking it straight to a bank anyhow - so I'll know pretty quick :)

MY new car will be revealed once it arrives :thumbsup:

This time the power goals are more moddest :D

Hey all,

Car went on Saturday, nice guy bought it and drove it to Brissy, so its gone gone :D

Would like to have seen it stay local, but I'm pretty happy it'll spend some time on the beach :P

Oh, also, not even a hint of payment dramas. Cheque was real, payed blah blah, so all good.

good to hear.

I know one car that was sold interstate and the new owners had fake i.d's they had a fake bank cheque that was so good the bank even cleared it and the money was credited to the blokes acount and 2 weeks later the bank called him and said they had to have a meeting. The bank had picked up the cheque as a very good fake two weeks after accepting it... The car was gone. So was the money... Insurance for both the bank and the car didnt want anything to do with it...

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
