Is that a cracked windshield?

 

Don't get it.

Did he tell you how much he abused the car? Let me guess, he didn't.

 

i wouldn't buy that car for the simple fact that the engine bay looks like pure crap.

save your money and keep on looking. i made the mistake of buying a car due to the power it had, even though the engine/car looked like it was never clean plus the car was in an accident. in the end i sold it for less than what i payed, and i still regret buying it up to this day.

 

i got a ride in it today and i wasnt impressed.

 

I would pay 8-9000 for a super awesome clean hatch, definitely not the one you're looking at.

3-4,000.

 

I bought a hatch with lots of power and looked clean. Frame was bent from hitting a guard rail and i didnt know. Had to donate the car. couldnt sell

 

u can buy one hell of a nice car for 8-9k. that thing right there is a peice of ****. DO NOT PAY ANY MORE THAN 3-4K FOR THAT CAR, even then still alot of work to get it to look nice.

 

Yea the person selling it to you is deffinitely trying to snag you just by saying "oh yea man it's a turbo" just take the advice everyone else has given already.

 

car looks abused.
im not considering it again

 

what an extremely overpriced shitbox.

 

^^ you can say that again

 

don't buy another person's headache.

 

the simple fact there is a fmu should be enough

 

look good
its not hooked up

 

you can always tell a lot about how the owner treated the car simply by how clean it is on any given occasion.

 

thats true
the car looks abused

i have a 00 SIR.
black, i clean it almost everyday

 

this is how an engine bay supposed to look

 

^JDM?

 

yup... but its really from singapore.
speed cut is set at 200kmh.


i have dyno at 151whp / 106 wtq with a intake and exhaust.
its quick for a stocker

 

I don't see anything wrong with an FMU, just that you can't tune it as exact as you can with electronics...but they're still made and they still serve a purpose and they work. But either way the rest of the car looks beat up so yeah.

 

u cant control timing either with a fmu.

things are going to blow later down the line.

 

you have never driven on a fmu have you?
