can someone please call a translator?

why does he insisit on calling it goods? he sounds mighty dodgy. removing ur ad would most likely result in you having to put it back up again, coz he can't be serious. is he not in australia?

whats up with ppl nowadays making offers on cars without even looking. too many joyriders and test pilots and not enough serious buyers out there....

The goods? what the hell is he buying? sounds like stock or something. Dont think you should accept a cheque either since he is overseas and once your car is on the boat and he cancels the cheque then you are left in a very bad situation. And why owuld he need your car "URGENTLY"? sounds like something fishy is going on. Just ignore his future emails because you dont want to get jipped.

yeh I won't remove the ad until money is in my bank, however, it resembles one of those scam e-mails like "you have won 20 million dollars just send me your details"..... I really think this is a scam and if it is I want to have some fun with him for being a di** and trying to rip me off.... :D

yeh I am more worried about sending him any more details... If anyone else out there has had an e-mail from him his address is [email protected]

yeh think it is probably best to ignore him although it is tempting to write back and tell him to get stuffed....

Man I would laugh if it is some rich arab sitting on an oil field and he is serious.... but not worth the risk....

That's what I thought when I was reading it. I would personally[and would recomend] that you don't give your details out on the net! so easy to get conned. I remember someone was posting up gtrs for 5K or something[i probably exaggerated, oh well] for sale, and this person had just copied pics of someone elses gtr from a website and put it on ebay. And they want you to put a deposit on it to their bank account so they know you are interested...

Although this is kinda the reverse, I dunno, I still probably wouldn't give out my bank details and address details or my name etc. to some stranger.

haha what an idiot..

tell him you want a deposit if you're gonna hold it for him, just as you would for an Oz buyer...if he wants the car so badly he should have no probs with that, but i bet you never see a cent from him :)

i mean CBD .. cash before delivery

but wouldn't that mean that i have to give him my bank details anyway?

Think i will leave it for now and see if he writes back if he does i will tell him that i have added more modifications and the car is now valued at $45 000 nah make that $65 000 then if he is still interested it means he is just after my details :);)

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
