What kind of IC is that? It definately looks a little ghetto rigged which might mean that they took rather shitty care of it. But it also may mean that the previous owner was sort of a DIY kind of guy. Who knows? The Turbo looks a little rusty as well. A Ractive strut tower bar is always a bad sign of someone on the cheap side. How much are they asking for it?

lane change,
What do you mean by being DIY? Yea the intercooler looks very ghetto. The dealer is asking 17,000 for it. Its a 93 silver, single turbo(dont know what kind), h/d clutch, upgraded IC, aluminum flywheel, and 18inch ACE wheels. I dont know what kind of fuel mods have been done to the car but i am very weary about buying this car. It looks like the person that owned it was cheap and didnt have any money to take care of it. Probably bought the single turbo at a junk yard. Any of your guys idea would be appreciated.

I think the IC setup is actually a good design, although the cool side is kind of ghetto-rigged its a very thin yet very large design, which is good. Can't see how good the ducting is though. The one thing I really don't like is the brake fluid resevoir. Brake fluid shouldn't be black, unless its superblue fluid I'd take it as a bad omen. It all comes down to how well its tuned and the engine compression though. Forget the pictures for now, I'd find out what kind of fuel management it has and see how well it drives. Crappy tuning is easy to spot. You shouldn't have any misfire anywhere in the rev band, no stumbles, and DEFINITELY no pinging, but you already know that .
