Reminds me of the time I was sitting at a set of traffic lights with a Corsa sitting next to me and a Saxo sitting next to him. I knew the race was on. The lights go green and I press down on my pedal and we're off with a screech of... nothing much. I get the jump on them and I'm off into an early lead. I'm snick snick snicking up through the gears and I can hear their tiny engines screaming and straining, trying to get ahead of me. I reach 30mph before the other 2 and at that I settle in a cruise and let them come past me and my mountain bike.
True story.
True story.

Basically, if you can find one that is running, it's probably going to be pretty cheap (because who is going to restore an early 80's Corvette?). Finding one at all is really the only difficult part.
'Dat "Not a Protege" rage.

My 20,000 HP Hyundai Accent beats anything.
Well, OK, 110 HP and all season tires... But, at my last Autoslalom event, I didn't finish last...
Nope, second last. 
I'm 18. The general thought after hearing about these claims, is to ask what type of a fuel pump or head gasket these 600 hp cars are running.
No answer=complete liar.
Wrong answer=complete liar
Sarcastic answer=complete liar
Specifically detailing the manufacturer of the fuel pump, AND reciting the serial numner=SWEET CAR MAN.
It works!

Not even the ridiculous exaggerations which are meant to show people how silly they are?

I read your first post wrong, hence why I acted like an asshole and then edited my post to hide the evidence
Yeah... But, I gave a playful "It's okay" response.
The fuel pump on the Hyundai is stock. Because I'm running a OEM autoslalom series, all that's modded on the car follows: short throw & strut tower brace.
Hyundai makes garbage transmissions, so we fixed it. And, when the car felt all squishy in the corners, we were curious about whether the Hyundai was held together "by playing cards."
My claims are outrageous!

It's not too far out, but what troubles me is that he said that his compression was fine, but that he is wondering about the pistons. (Unless I'm missing some big chunk of info.)

Hahahahahaha well it's not fair to say "idiot" let's go with unskilled or lacks knowledge on this subject. However he may be an idiot. I don't know and to fair I'd say he lacks the knowledge.

Yeah, that's why I was wondering what he was doing with an R33 GT-R.
You would expect somebody with the desire for that car to be mechanically inclined.

That's what I figured if it is legit.
No, but if you appreciate the R33 enough to actually buy one, then you have probably been around cars for a while, and thus know a bit about how they work.

Yeah, I see what you're saying.
And I do know that there are people who love cars but don't know much about them and that's fine.
(It's good that you know what I'm saying.)
In my eyes, the R33 is the best of a legend, and anyone who has one knows their stuff.

A 1960 Corvette in Finland is rare enough to see a request made.
Please supply photos that clearly show that the car yo claim to own is indeed owned by yourself.
A range of pictures with a piece of card with your GTP username in each of them is what is normally asked for, please see the examples in this thread and read the opening thread to gain an insight into why we ask and why it is the norm for GT Planet.

Pictures of myself along with details of cars I have owned already exist on this site, as for my identity and background well the staff and site owner already have details of that.
Now I'm not asking for any of that (or any more information than you have already made public on the internet), what you are being asked for doesn't require a number plate to be shown (cover it with card or use photoshop/paint.net to remove it). Don't want other people in them, then take new ones (you will need to do that to get your GTP user name in)

Here's the webpage for AKK Motorsports out of Finland:
http://www.autourheilu.fi/akkmotorsport/
That page should take you to an area where you can search for people that belong to the organization. There is no mention of a Sami at all on their page that I can find, doesn't mean it isn't there, but have a poke around if you like.
There's also this YouTube account:
http://www.youtube.com/user/Sampyla20plus
Which matches the username and has lots of GT and Forza content on it. It says the owner is 27 and from the United States. May or may not be the person in question, but it's something to look at.
It's really not that hard to find out information of people on the internet either. Just like Samplyla20plus has a 7 year old son that can pick out why GT is better than Forza.

I managed this all while sitting on hold for 5 minutes and doing a simple Google search.

Interesting that there is no Sam listed on any of their staff lists on that website, and since they only employ 22 people, it seems odd that a senior member wouldn't get mention on any of the staff pages...
Add to that the fact that his occupation on this site is listed as "Land Surveyor" and the inconsistencies with information on his differing online profiles..... not looking strong.
Looking forward to seeing this 'Vette though, always loved the pre-1970 ones, and if this one was indeed professionally restored it should be in fantastic shape!
