Never seen it but lots of body crap on stock wheels? And the engine bay looks completely stock except No top IC duct, and an added aluminum intake pipe.
Looks like a ricer boy to me but you could fix it. Hate the wing and sunroof air dam thing.
Get a compression check done and do all the motor, boost checks. As somebody thinks it should have been a fast car.
This is what a Honda boy would do to an FD (all show but no go).

Hmm based on the pictures and how nice it looks (paint, no body damage...etc, not a fan of the body kit/wing myself...) it definitely gives me that vibe of a scam. Or title problems/headaches of sorts...

that car was on ebay a while back. did he say it was an auto. i am positive that this car was on ebay and is an automatic. if he says it is manual than it may not be his. sounds like a scam to me!

I live about 35 miles from San Martin.
Would be happy to check it out for you if you'd like, just to verify the car exists and as advertised.
PM me if you want.

that car was definitely on ebay a few weeks ago I check ebay every day for new fds for a 20b project. It had a 5k buy it now and the guy was in Nigeria or some garbage. Anyways its a scam, i also think the actual owner is on this board because I remember a bunch of people making fun of his headlights and wing.

Somebody please tell me why this is a scam? If I go up to san martin with 5k, get the car, and title says its clean and I drive off, what are you worried about? The motor? Who cares, your dropping a 20b in anyway. As far as i am concerned a running motor for 5k on a FD with a good body is a bonus. I think it would be worth checking out at least. OR does someone have anymore concrete info or links on this "scam?"

Wishin I Still Had The FD
Anything involving Europe is a SCAM, and a really unimaginative one at that. Leave the car alone. It's probably the same guy whose selling a 6sp Supra TT for $6k. "My brother passed away and I can't bare to look at his car. I know I'm losing money but I don't care. I just wanna get rid of it." F**k you. Shove your scam up your ***.
