Tuned CTR does 0-140 in under 8 secs

0-60kph would be a lot faster than stated though

hes probably talking in terms of kilometers per hour! no mention of mph anywhere

So he's saying it'll do 0-37 mph in just under 5 seconds?

Why would he say it in kph? The 0-60 time may be fairly accurate (add on a second or so...) but the other one :rolleyes:

A CTR was a K-Pro(Chip) CAI and Catback, can get about an extra 25bhp.

0-60 with the above mods can take it down to mid 5. That is mainly cause you can hit 60 in 2nd gear as the rev limiter is raised.

ditto, was just about to post that lol, still very misleading though lol and probably still lying.

Lol on 19 inch wheels aswell, that wont be doing the acceleration any favours!

I dunno I would be annoyed if I couldn't get it to do 80 in 8 seconds.

What a noddy.

Also, £12,500 reserve for a 50k '03 TypeR?
Even with his suppa' duppa' chip & carp wheels, that's well over the odds isn't it !?!

ajgoodfellow · 2 Jun 2006 at 12:48

Yeah, definitely

High mileage and three years old - What Car say that it's worth £8,845 Private and £10,045 Dealer! (link)

The purchase, fitting and heat sheilding required for the resistors of ultimate power and justice he probably has fitted will have bumped that reserve up considerably.

even if that was kph... its still a bit of a tall story

thebrasso · 2 Jun 2006 at 19:13

What an idiot. I'd be interested to find out if its a serious advert or he was just taking the pee.

Ebay Seller said:
Reluctant sale forced due to redundancy, the winning bid will pay off the finance outstanding on the car. No paperwork/keys will be exchanged until the finance has been settled.

Er can this be done, no one in their right mind would buy it and pay off the finance that way.

Anyway I asked him this:

Me asking him a question said:
Hi Buddy, I am really interested in this car. Can you tell me 1) is it a uk car 2) are you 0-140 claims in kmh or mph 3) how much do you owe on the finance? 4) As the finance is outstanding the poceedure is that you hand over the car to hopefully me, I pay you the difference between the asking price and balance of the finance company and then I pay the finance company. However since the finance company own the car, you would be transfering the car to me and it would be my responsibilty to pay this off. This can be done on the same day as collection of the car anyway so wont be an issue. Thanks Mark

I know this isn't the stricktest or most correct way to buy a car with finance outstanding but it will be interesting to see his response.

Nazbit · 2 Jun 2006 at 22:18

Im tempted to email the seller and tell him that the information in his auction is not at all correct........that aint no model! :eek:
