Wicked_razor the guy said it didnt run? why did he say that yet it started when you got it? is there something going wrong with it possibly? just something to think about
razor I originally bought the car just as a project, i was going to rebuild the motor or replace it any way. so this is just a plus that it is running. i can play a little before i rebuild it. it didnt start in front of him anyway i had to go home and put a battery in it.

Hmm what color is it stock? Looks like it was red because it's faded like my red FC was.

Probably a hack engine bay spray paint job.

Check the door jams to see the stock paint.
Most jackass Maaco's and places don't spray them.

Excellent buy for $250.

It may not make it any faster, but you might want to rotate your rear tires so the unidirectional wheels are all pointing the right way.
