Re: Pistonheads can`t quite make their mind up on an RX-8
I don't know if I'm mis-remembering or not, but I'm pretty certain that car HV09 HZT was on autotrader a couple months back for £5k and with previous NSR damage on the arch/fuel flap area. Had the same images so hasn't been sold since then - I believe it flagged up on autotrader as a cat tag in the thumbnail like they do
Had been trying to see if I can see old removed autotrader listings to check but haven't been able to

Re: Pistonheads can`t quite make their mind up on an RX-8
Even with regular beeps to 9k odd.. I'd struggle to get that low mileage. My lowest tank ever was about 180 miles. And that's purely because I had to sit in low gears at low speeds most of the journeys I was making.
Even with my meh compression right now I should still hit 220mpg this tank (e10 sucks I've decided..)
We just have to take that most "motor journalists" have 0 real world experience with an 8.

Re: Pistonheads can`t quite make their mind up on an RX-8
Ahh, didn't spot it being back on autotrader although he personally doesn't list a thing about it being Cat S on his description on autotrader nor on pistonheads, only autotrader's automatic check thingy flags it which is basically a mini HPI check He's not reuploaded the photo of the damage though - as on his first listing it had that in there. Hey ho It wasn't all too bad of a hit and it'll likely have been repaired ok, but it'd still be better of him to disclose it a bit better, especially on the PH advertNanotrox wrote: ↑Sat Nov 27, 2021 7:49 pmIt's on auto trader right now for £6k as a cat S being sold by successful carsHarSc wrote: ↑Sat Nov 27, 2021 7:15 pmI don't know if I'm mis-remembering or not, but I'm pretty certain that car HV09 HZT was on autotrader a couple months back for £5k and with previous NSR damage on the arch/fuel flap area.

That doesn't sound right to me Andy! Last time my fuel consumption got that bad I found an injector leak..
