was for sale bout 2 months ago for 3000 needed head gasket. fella bught it never fixed it put it up for 4500 and now dropped the price to 3000 again. id say ur man baught it with the intention of fixing it but then found out it had another prob so now tryin to get rid of it or else hes just a clown tryin to make money of the car and it backfired on him!
Eddie Quirke in Carlow used to own it. Im not sure of its mechanical history. I can put somebody in contact with him if you require any history info. The omex 6 cyl management alone would cost near the asking price for the car.
It was originally David Quigly's R32, he was drifting it a few years back... Load of top quality gear in it!!
It is so tempting but i got burnt with enough cars before. My heart is telling me to go look at it but my head is keeping me back.
My thoughts exactly. I wonder what is the real problem as this car has a lot of aftermarket parts and if it was running would be very competetive. Either way it has potential.Quote:

the lad that had it before the current owner didn't know what was wrong with it.first he said it was the turbos and then it was the headgasket...i was told before that it overheated badly and whatever the prob is it was cause a that...lot of aftermarket gear on it and was meant to be runnin roughly 400 brakeQuote:

haha if it was to blow oil out through the air filters no.1 it would need filters not stockings no.2 it would have to blow air rather than suck it in then the turbos would need to be in reverse sounds very odd could be a logical reason do???Quote:

i was talking to the lad who has it for sale he no very little about the car he took it as a trade in he seems to be a dead sound lad i asked if i could do a comperssion and leak down test and he said there would be no problem, i was also talking to another source from tdp the turbos were not 100% from the time the car was built or mapped by them so it would prob need turbos and a head gasket, it was in goldstone before and filled the place with steam out the exhaust so either just the turbos completely shit them selfs or the head gasket
that was a savage car was a genuine tommy kaira model 2
I no the lad who has this now hes a friend...it is a genuine toommy keiara shell...it was a seriosue car when quigley was driveing it...like was said he only took it on a trade....was told it needs a head gasket...there is an awful lot off stuff on that car...would be worth doing a compression test on and havening a look over...its still starting!!!
I think a complete overhauled engine would be handier and probably cheaper than trying to fix this one.
The oil going out the filters WTF:confused: Maybe he meant the dipstick (shot piston)
