Well there you go, a conclusive list of problems with the car that make it 'shit on wheels'
Unfortunately its my word against his but if someone else comes to see it and thinks the same then I'll accept that its a pile of shit and break it for parts. Personally I'd guess his problem with the way it drives is because he probably has a 1.6 which may have similar power but this engine has nearly 250lb/ft of torque which is a lot to put through that chassis.
Like I said I am genuinely sorry that you think you wasted your time, but if I was just like any other car dealer trying to make a quick buck why would I have just spent nearly £1k having the head modded and compression sorted so its reliable? Otherwise I'd have just had another Felpro gasket slapped in and left the CR only for it to go bang on its new owner a few miles later. Instead I sent it to Ian Howell and had it done properly!
Anyway, like I said I have nothing to hide but I am the first to admit that I don't know much about RST's. However I believe this is a decent car, its not been mangled in an accident, its not rotting inside out, it doesn't have pools of oil or water underneath it.
Cheers,
Bryn.
