No offense to anyone who has a car like that but...Man that guy is crazy... If the body was straight and the paint looked perfect..I mean damn.. I wouldn't shell out $2500 for a non running jerry rigged car.... The only spectacular thing on that car is the Ek6.. Which isn't tuned.... ugg.

When will people learn that you will NEVER EVER EVER get out of a car anywhere near what you put in it, when the fuel system cost more then the blue book value of the rig you are attaching it to..

That is just a "go fast" version of these guys putting 24's on a 1985 buick that retails at about $500 and they just dropped $500 in rims and tires...
makes no sense.

HE would be much better off parting it out with a body on it like that... plus not running...

This has been up off and on for a couple of months. Lots of work into it, may be fun to complete if you are in texas and have 3 spare grand.

No technical help from me ever. It will be as if aliens gave you a spaceship, left, and you have to figure it all out.
ROFLMAO!!

EDIT:

I put a power steering gearbox in this car, which doesn't have power steering, and that reduced the amount of turn-to-lock by at least half a turn each way. That combined with the smaller steering wheel make it steer like a racecar, but if this car gets tuned and you go over 150, I bet you crash.
DOUBLE ROFLMAO!!

I would of much rather had mikep's car for half the money that didn't sell on ebay.
His came with a widebody kit, E6k and was a 13bre with a upgraded turbo to boot.

Later

Unhappy

No way he's getting 6k for it!

Pretty sorry shape IMHO and not very impressive looking. I'm sure he put a lot of hard work into it and for him I'm sure it's just fine.

I hope to get 3-4k for mine in a 3-4 years but at least mine is tuned (and emissions legal), runs great and looks fantanstic--damn near stock looking till you pop the hood. Till then I just have to suffer and enjoy my car.
