LOL i know.

Heres the story
-A kid came into a gas station to have the JRSC installed
-He had it installed along with a fresh head to add a lil more power.
-Well drove off and came bak next day on a trailer
-The shop took it apart and bam there was the one cylinder that leaned out.

-The kid didnt wan to pay for all that work done to car. So a guy at the shop bought it to either fix or part out.
-Well i got to it first and flashed some cash in front of his face and then he was like okay okay.

-Now i dont think he knows what kind of a car he just sold. But i did.LOL!

***Oh by the way 3 mechanics were out there looking at it and one pointed at the Jackson Racing Fuel Pressure Regulator and thought it was a waste gate.LOL!!! LOL!!

-I then knew i was coming up on a deal and opened the car up for negotiating

Great deal for sure. You can sell that damn thing for way more than 700. Did I hear right, the kid took it to a gas station to get a JRSC installed?

LOL! YES HE DID.

-I found this car because a friend of mine has a del sol and wanted another, anyways one of his friends told him about a del sol for sale that his friend had at his work (gas depot / old shell station).
-I told my friend i would go with him and see if it was a good buy and worth fixing.
-We arrived at the station and I see driving by it "VTEC" on trunk
-I then said oh **** to myself and told my friend i hope that sticker was slapped on there from factory.
-I exited the car walking to the roller doors where the mechanics were working and saw the license plate frame. It said, "Jackson Racing"
-I was shocked at the plate and was like i am going to act like the dumbest **** in the world about this car and spoof up a quick sale.

Well the car didnt end up being $300 like my friend was told it would be. But the man who owned it had not figured out what to do with it (part out / fix / sell).

-My friend wanted it for $300. So i then wanted info since its in my hands now.
-I came back said the car would take a few thousand to rebuild and flashed $700 in his face. He agreed ok ok sir come back at 4p.m.

-Picked it up for $750 with "CLEAN TITLE" "ORIGINAL PAINT" "STRAIGHT BODY" "JRSC WITH 59 MILES ALONG WITH REBUILT HEAD ALSO 59 MILES WITH PAPERS"

-Oh by the way 72,000 miles on chassis and its a 94' not 95'

-Kid didnt want to fix so gave it to the station to pay off what he owed. I just bought it off of them for cheap. I had no idea i was going to buy a car yesterday but he mentioned a price and i said, "SOLD".
