I'd check any import for a delimiter as there have been sooooo many people coming on here with limited JDMs wondering why they can't get over 112mph, which patently haven't been delimited when sva'd

Have you phoned them today? beware that your insurance is likely to be invalid if your insured for a uk car but its actually an import........

Have you sourced new insurance yet? Just curious as to the difference in premiums and the actual size of the insurance market that will do FI zeds....

The speed limiter removal is not part of the sva. You need to buy a HKS defender for about £250. Thats i bit pricey, you can buy a converter/delimiter from Thor in the UK for about £100 (there are some cheaper versions) also most importers that sell in the UK will have already put the car through an SVA before offering for sale. The delimiters by Thor, are they for Supra's though? Here is the HKS one on Envys site: http://z-store.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseacti ... rentCat=26 Not sure what your point about the importers is though.....of course most will have sva'd the car......my point was that removing the limit is not part of the sva....

Dave, what have your insurance company said?

The speed limiter removal is not part of the sva. You need to buy a HKS defender for about £250.

I didn't know that. What are the actual sizes? Thats incorrect. The jdms have smaller tanks 70l vs 80l.

Man, it really sounds like you wanna be famous Did the Big Brother auditions not go to plan??

You gonna blend the spats?

Thats why I was asking about the previous owner. He could shed a massive amount of light on just how deceptive the dealer has been. As I said before, i would say that the previous owner made all the changes (or even the previous owner to him) and the dealer took the carin px or at an auction and has just sold it on.......

Do you have the previous keepers details on the V5?

With these types of issues, its not what you know, its what you can prove and unfortunately it can't be proved either way. The only angle was that the ad said the car had stuff that a UK car has but the car in question doesn't have them, now the ad has gone, unless there is a copy of it somewhere, I don't think this is going to amount to anything.

The ad has gone and it never said it was a Uk car, the only mention of it being a UK car was the salesman mentioned it, its never been written anywhere.........

I used to put 95 ron stuff in the Gallardo too You might lose a few horses but your not gonna notice it one bit unless your on a track or a dyno......

+1

Hark at you now

ask them to swap the whole car for a UK spec one as that's what you thought you were buying +1

Its much more likely that the previous owner wanted it to look like a UK car and changed the bumpers (I know I would) and then px'd at this dealership. I doubt very much if they had anything to do with concealing the cars identity as they have a good rep amoungst the high end car fraternity.

Agreed. I'd go to them with import examples like: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1410957.htm And tell them you would never have paid £11.5k for an import..................

The problem is that the advert doesn't say its a UK or an import, and proving what the salesman said will be difficult/impossible......the chances are that they didn't know either and took it in in a px. The description will just be a spec generated by a generic computer based system. Its defo an import though, it has no steering wheel buttons at all.

What engine did you put in there?

That car is NOT a GT.
