Nice, real nice but $16,000???

10.5 A/R? I'd never buy a car that was so horribly tuned. That's rich enough to cause some serious carbon build up issues.

I would never buy a car that someone else tuned.


I want to be my own cherry poppin' daddy.

"LUCKY" - If the person gets $7-8 K for a car (1990) that is 17 years old. Makes me wonder why there is no pictures of the (CLOSE-UP) cockpit or engine bay - ENGINE BAY PICTURES ?????????????.
The interior picture could be quite deceiving because of the out of focus.....

The only way I can see he's got $15k in is paying for the labor to have a lot of that stuff installed. That's about double what somebody should pay for it IMO... sell the hardtop separately.

nice looking car, he is on CR.net I think.

17psi, t3/4, 256hp? does that seem weird to anyone else?

kotomile 01-17-2007 04:26 PM

^ with the 10.5:1 afr, no.

It says in the ad that in its current state its running 19 psi and "I tuned it some more". I've definitely seen that car before somewhere, either CR or RD.

turbopezz 01-17-2007 05:47 PM

i want full size pictures of it .i think its sweet.

Powdrkeg7 01-17-2007 07:49 PM

Cool car.

Rage_Kage 01-18-2007 12:05 AM

it looks great

akaryrye 01-18-2007 01:05 AM

I think you guys must be missing how much he is boosting ... he has boost turned up to about 20 psi, I dont think 10.5/1 is that out of line at that high of boost

RusMan 01-18-2007 01:31 AM

Yeah but ~260hp at 20psi on t3/t4 is way low, must be horribly tuned or the setup doesn't flow at all.

Still pretty rich. Probably a case of, "here's some knock, lets dump fuel on it til it goes away".

I should go check it out. It's local. I sold a '90 with simliar specs for $8600 3 years ago. If he gets $10K he'd be really luck. I didn't have the wide body or coilovers, but had the built motor and a smaller turbo.

IMHO, if you're gonna brag about 300hp, have a dyno sheet to back it up. Just cause the parts are there, doesn't make it a 300hp car.

the car is a 93, but old nonetheless.

he said 265 at 17psi and 300 at 19psi. But I don't quite think it sounds right either.

ummm, the car posted doesn't even have a wide body, it said that they just pulled and rolled the stock fenders.

zoom2zoom 01-19-2007 12:10 PM

this is a nice car that was priced well, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...4860610&rd=1,1

That concept is still a mystery to me... if someone has experience with the baseball bat rolling method I'd like to know more.
