Shady shennanigans

I keep a check on the Rx7 forums as still love em and there are some great built threads, but on the whole, the market is so shady now.

 

The only reason i bring this up is because i see a few comments (not pointing fingers at anyone in particular) on the decline of the 350z due to the owners its attracting, price bracket and modifications etc but wow, having witnessed the slow demise of Rx7 ownership, the 350 has got a long long way to go yet.

 

The most notable thing are parts, particularly engines being sold only for new or prospective buyers to find out they are nothing like described, rebuilt status, who rebuilt them, porting etc Its a disgrace. The stupid thing is, its such a small marketplace, every car is pretty well known and builders know exactly what they have built and put into the engine, its just dodgy dealings all over the place.

 

When the for sale threads on here get littered with people trying to palm off all kinds of rubbish and disputes about whats been bought, run for the hills and sell the thing!

 

Until then make hay whilst the sun shines, you got to love the honesty of the owners on here and long may it continue :)

Couldn't agree more

 

Spoken like an ex owner, lol, do you ever venture on there Lee. Decided after my mini rant to log out and never return, sad to see!

Not really mate.

Went back on mrc a little while ago but havent been on fduk since selling up.

Ha, that's one of the reasons I got rid of the MX5. Couldn't stand the type of people they were beginning to attract - Owners that had crashed their Saxo and were buying their first RWD car and calling it their 'drift slut'.

 

I hope the 350 doesn't reach that point for a long, long time!
