Shafted on car deal!!!!!....

[Tiapan]

Ok, this is going to sound so much dumber in writing but here goes...

My Best friend (adam) Got a $15,000 loan out to buy an already modded VH,
we found one in the quakka and went for a look, it was advertised for $13,000 or something but we were advised he would sell for $10,000 because the box was rooted, upon getting there the White VH had great rubbers, glass, panel and paint, all doors opened and shut like they were brand new,

the guy said kosteki ported the heads and that they cost him $5,000 complete.

the car was advertised as 320 v8 (offset ground crank?) with vn heads, trihard and 9inch, the engine was brand (2000km) new and the guy had told my friend it would be capable of 11 sec passes and his mate has the same combo and has run 11s before, when i saw the combo i could not see how it could make more then 400hp or do even low 12's (harrop duel plane, small hydralic, no stall ect) whats worse is that day we couldnt start it because the box was spewing oil all over the joint and we didnt want the box grabbing and damaging the engine.

i told my mate to look around and that i wouldnt pay more then $7,000 for it, we found an immaculate silver vh with a rebuilt 308 unregistered but didnt need much for $3000, i tried talking my mate into this one but he has a phobia with licensing cars.

later in the week the search was getting desperate and even other states only had nice VH's in the $10,000+ margin, my mate eneded up going around to the first VH's house, i wasnt there and they started the motor to hear it running anyway and my bestie said it sounded mad,

i went with adam to buy the vh, upon paying and getting it on the tilt tray IT DIDNT EVEN HAVE A 9INCH!!! this almost resulted in voilence but the seller apolagised "it was my mates car and he told me it had a 9inch, he has passed away now" he told us he couldnt lower the price but later on if we put a 9inch in it he would pay the cost,

trusting the guy Adam took the car and we got a tough trihard made for it, once the box was in and the car was running we needed to make massive tuning adjustments because the tune that was in it wouldnt have been good for 15's!!! got it running better (going down 10 jet sizes!!) and it is running flat 14's on street tires..ok... after checking things im starting to think the "ported $5000 heads" are just stock vn heads....the guy was moving house and said he has all the reciepts boxed up and we could get them later,

doing a cam change soon, so we are about to find out if these heads ARE kosteiki ported, if not someone is in alot of trouble as this was my friends buying point!

what can we do if the heads are stock in the way of the law?? i hope there is something for my mates sake!
