I'd be wanting to know why he wants rid so fast when it's just been built, considering he had nothing but good words to say about it in a thread he made the other day.

These are always for sale just after they have been built.
They are always apparently running perfectly, wonder why that is

Nobody is having a dig, people are curious as to why it's for sale so quick, as is common with every single one of these turbo conversions we've seen on here.

A X16XE with a turbo conversion, without any internal upgrades isnt a good idea! IMO
Also you stated you thought it would be faster, what makes you think a CRX would be any faster?

corsasport members sometimes really fuck me right off. its not fair to bitch and moan and potentially give a 'good' fine car a bad name, its not fair for the seller. you cant just say a car is good or not from him wanting to sell his car to buy a new one, why does it matter if he sells it quick, i know pleanty of people who buy cars, spend time and money learning new skills and its a hobby, all projects come to a end. and tbh i wouldnt really go asking a bunch of muppets on the internet if this car is good or not. take a mechanic or pay for a rac check to go and inspect the car. all you guys have done is fucked up his chances of selling his car. cunts

No one is having a dig, people are asking questions. The same as when you do if you buy it, I don't know about you but when I buy cars I ask why he is selling it, why the change?
Especially 2 weeks after a turbo conversion aswell. No one has hampered his chances of selling it at all, if someone wants it they will go and look at it and place their own decisions. Someone on here isnt just going to look at it then go and buy it, they will go and view to buy, get more details etc. You can't blame people for wondering why he wants rid so fast, there is nothing wrong with asking questions. As far as I can see you and the cars owner are the only ones throwing your toys out of the pram.
