#201820 I dont have it, I have my eye on buying it but the guy seems to think that all D16's are the same.... it has to be a z6/y8 i think but I really want a Z6. I thought someone on here may be able to tell by this pic, otherwise its a case of relying on the guy selling it. its too far away to look at before bidding on it...

#201828 Tell him to take a picture of the engine stamp. Don't "trust" anybody's word!! If he refuses... don't buy it. Just my $0.02

probably a z6, definitely not a y8.
he says its a d16 so probably not a d15b, or mini-me (if you can trust him).

#202017 its not a y7 unless they swapped blocks because the oil dipstick is on the side of the block on the Y7, not the center of the exhaust manifold.

and the Y8 has the dipstick on the side as well, so its most likely not a y8 either unless they swapped blocks (which i doubt)

#202110 the guy has gone silent now too.... Ive said ill bid so long as he tells me whats stamped on the block. either he's too lazy to go out and look, or has something to hide :? at the moment bids are up to £5 lol, if its a z6 I really want it :x

#202152 Walk away from this, trust me. I've been in this situation many times. This is exactly how someone behaves when they're about to rip you off.
