http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MakeTrack=true
standard oil breather system, standard boost hoses and to top it all, not even mention the xr shell
If I ever sold mine, that would be first thing on the list!!

Chip/Zorst/Filter/Dumpvalve, really fast in the first 2 gears (if it was 280bhp youd not even move in the first 2 gears for wheelspin 
)
Sounds like 180bhp to me...
Typo or bullshitter, i guess bullshitter

Not at all.
It's buyer beware in all cases.
If you buy that car for silly money, and it turns out not to be as described, then the buyer deserves all he gets.
What exactly were you expecting the guy on Ebay to say? "Thanks for you input - I don't know how I'd have managed without it?"
I'd have replied exactly the same - there's nothing worse than people who believe they've got the right to police everybody else's ads......... it's up there with people who reply with "that's too expensive" when someone puts a car up for sale on here.
If you aint bidding, mind your own business.

I understand where you're coming from Richard, I'd just really hate if someone did it to me when I first bought an RST

Okay - so what gives you the right to be the internet polic then?
You can't compare a mugging which you can have control over to something that they guy can turn round and tell you to piss off.
Exactly what difference has James "investigation" made then?

the seller is blatently withholding information that frankly misleads potential buyers into buying something they may not want! Bringing the facts to light IMO is ok, if done correctly and privately

I think everyone should go back to discussing 'my cars faster than your car' type threads
People getting ripped off don't matter no more to enthusiasts anymore...

Would you pick someone up if they fell over ?
Would you watch a con man pic pocket someone ??
Everyone has the choice ! you either walk away and be glad it aint you or you intervene

Will as richard said the way you worded you emil to him was abit childish you could have just asked the quesion (like you did at the top of the page with pout the maxpower thing ect) and then see whot he would have put in the reply
As you say its a shed but if you pay top money for it with out looking at it first then more fool you
