fraud? haha what a mug.

It,ll sell and i have another to put up when that one goes

you should get yourself one then you might know what your talking about.

You've got two for sale-man you are going to be loaded!
Will the ad for the second one be as entertaining as the first?

[Muttleymk2]

Well, what a thread! Here's my two penneth, a 25% increase in cubic capacity on a four cylinder engine is an engineering impossibility, there just isn't enough metal to deal with even with liners!

I think you mean other stuff, but not being any form of pedant,(look it up smoke boy) I wont dwell on it. After owning three, and just about getting my fourth surf, I think I outrank a phallic headed fraudster for knowledge.
BTW have sent Ebay this page to show up your dishonest ad. Have a nice evening now.

Yep , he'll probably buy his mate's big 'ouse in Wales and advertise it on eBay as a stately home.

i know it.s hard for a jock to understand but i suppose up there you can buy a house for 8 grand. things are a bit different in the big smoke.

I look out of my 8 grand house window and see countryside, hills, animals. Along the road is a holiday cottage you southern monkeys pay a grand a week to borrow.

I am 22 year old and I make the same money as the average factory worker in London, Yet I bet it's more expensive to live in 'the big smoke'.

Muppet.

Maybe I am setting myself up as a bit of a target by saying this.... but I am surprised and disappointed to see so much animosity and rudeness going both ways here in this thread...

My 2 pennies worth on the price etc.. Well.. the asking price does seem a bit steep to me, and If you have been offered £6k.. I think I would take that cash offer if it were me.

I know you're new the the world of Surfs, but did you read the listing at all?
It's mostly fiction.

[Karma Supra]

Looks a bit tatty to me... but I think I paid about £7k for my standard 3rd gen!

It was quite a few years ago though.

Also, mine keeps up with Golf GTis, so its not impossible

Same wheels as mine too, which makes them the best wheels ever..

Apart from the spare!

[Trunks]

things are a bit different in the big smoke.

Certainly seems that way. If your charming manner is anything to go by, I'm glad I don't live there.

reading the invoice with google translate it says the engine has been bored and slieved to 4000cc and a JDM turbo, intrcooler and intake was fitted dynoed to give 180hp. i know it is qiuite fast anyways

My Japanese is pretty fair, mind posting a copy of that invoice?

Curious as to the extent of the modifications, and where they might have been done.

Very rare to find any shops doing that here as increasing engine displacement/horsepower is illegal, without quite a bit of hassle, paperwork and testing.

Any legal modification will have the new displacement listed on the Japanese registration/de-registration certificate as well.

BMW X5s, 330s and Peugeot 407s are easy prey too.

[tashtego]

I'm sorry but I disagree...any surf (3.0 L, of course) can keep up with a Golf GTI, all it needs is a drop of Diesel Rhino...

Hi, just noticed you leave in Japan...observant, I know. Must be the cple of bottles of wine I've had...
Anyway, could you tell me, what is the price of a 3rd Gen Intercooled (1998 -) these days? I can't see that many on the Jap websites. Also would you be able to help in choosing one? For a fee, of course! Ta very much.

PS:

Bill,please, stop dissing the Scots, some of my ancestors were from there!
