I live near it.

ALl i wanna say is, If I were you...... you know the story.

My cousin got rang up the other week cos he has a rare 96 FTO GPX mivec 5 speed for sale - mint nick - they called him up and said they had a buyer the usual bullshit and wasted his time and called him down and when he wudnt budge on the price - there was none of the happy promises and fone call that he first recieved!

They must always do it and sometimes a desperate seller will crack and sell it for some riduculous cheap price.

I bought my car from JSA.

No problems at all you get a pritty good warranty.

They look after you pritty well.

But I dont know about other peoples experiance there.

My dads really good friends with his uncle so i sorta got a good deal.

Im happy with my car no problem at all.

Rang them back today. Soon as I said Im not moving on price they werent interested. So yeah they obviously were hoping i was desperate for the cash. I personally think its a bit rude. They should have made their intentions clear in the first place. Werent very friendly on the phone either.

yup... all backyard work too... find a problem with the paint?? thats ok... it will get redone in their backyard again... my mate bought a 180 from them against my word.

front bar was held on by 2 screws... all the weight from the massive bogged and glass bar buckled the panels... 18s on it had retreads... paint was all over the rubbers so thick that the tape had ripped when they pulled it off and was still under the paint and over the rubber... was massive rub marks from 400 grit paper all through the paint work... rear spolier was held on by 4 screws... not nuts or bolts... screws....

25k for an early 96 model 180... what an idiot...

    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
