DOHC_C-REX I was "that guy" with the multi colored rex, I remember talking to you.
Sorry, he got it from underneath me when manny still had it. Since he knew I wanted it so bad he offered it to me before he posted it up. Fig is a cool guy

yeah cool until he tells you to come take a look at it then cancels and when you get half way back home he tells you to come back...then you reschedule to look at it the next day...he agrees you drive there calling and calling no answer and when you get there he tells you...never mind...oh well. He said his wife was in the hospital...I hope shes ok.

Once again good luck with the car... I was just going to strip it sell the parts to recoupe my cash and put all my stuff on the cleaner shell...

Haa haa ok.. Half of what he said in the post was wrong as far as what the car needed for it to be running. I'm surprised I made it home alive.

-Registration was $160 late
-wrong alternator
-Missing sensors
-mounts are still wrong
-wiring was all fvcked up
-1,000,000 bolts were just hand tight
-Oil was BLACK and barely there
-radiator leaks
-Front OEM mount was never cut off
-bad wheel bearing

"A couple hours of TLC... "

Fig is a cool guy we have no problems. I don't care the car needed more work its a honda, it's expected. It was also a really good deal.
