yeah.


some metal lines and harnesses are cut in the engine bay. that's why i'm giving up on the project.

i also have a PLX M-300 wideband for sale. when my friend took it out of his supra, he accidently pulled a wire out of the plug. it should be an easy fix or it could just be bypassed. i'm asking $200/best for that. btw, it was only used for a couple hours.

it doesn't have any rust that i have seen except underneath the car, but that's only surface rust. it was repainted red with gold flake.

it doesn't have the rear brake calipers on the car, they're in back along with some other parts. also, it only has one seat, a crack in the windshield and no hood.

well when casey lies out his *** about the condition of the car and you give the car a chance and then find all the **** was done half *** and you have to fix all of it

the turbo that just went on it was supposed to be a "rebuilt stock turbo" and i only ran about 10-12 psi on that and it only took about a month for that one to go

the paint was only cause i was bored and you guys should know red gives you the most hp duh

Anyone still alive in here? Ifinally snapped a pic of my POS after I towed it to its winter home, and figured I'd post up. I'll post pics of the interior later on.

By the way, Anyone know where I can buy some large-gauge cable?

yes indeed Ian, bryan gets home tonight, so im sure well have our 7s out all next week. i definatley need to come up and help tear down your 12a still. as for the dyno, id like to do a dyno run, but i dont know about the tuning. theres nothing on my car to tune really. ive got a stock computer for now, at least until i get my BNR turbo. so, yes on the dyno, but i dont think so on the tuning.
