Ok guys I really want an honest opinion, I would prefer not to get flamed because its on ebay or whatever else, im just asking if its a good buy or even better if someone on this forum knows the guy!

-Also, how do I get rid of this "trial user" status, so i can send PMs, and IMs and such??

Thanks in advance guys! Always appreciate the help.

uhh, no its not. not in the pics anyway. its a deltagate.

with a t66 wheel? omgboom2u

you use a missing link with an FMU. an fmu, uses stock, or 310cc injectors at the most, and generally is good only for low-power (low 200s tops) before it simply can't control the fuel enough. piggy back? what is he runing a blue box?

i dunno man... for 1000 bucks that it's at know, its a good deal- even if the motor was blown.

you need to post more

 

There is nothing wrong with buying a car on ebay. I have sold lots on ebay and as long as you are honest in listing it you wont have problems with a buyer. Look at their feedback number. If its under 10 I am careful. If they dont accept paypal DO NOT do business with them. Paypal protects their buyers.

You are trial user for 15 days. After that you can PM and post in classifieds etc.

 

I smell a ticking time bomb?....but if your into buying highly modified cars then get ready for some headaches, heartaches, and sadness....

Things to consider....you have no idea how this car was treated, you have no idea of the quality of work that when into the motor and everything else, especially for the long haul...And if i put all that time and money into a car why would I sell it???There is things in that mod list i dont like and dont feel that this car is worth even buying, cause if I did all that stuff I would not be running 550's, missing link, and a piggy back along with 3" intercooler piping....get real, That car sounds like its trouble waiting to find an owner to unleash all its uncertainties, but hey you like it cause it has cool parts i say go for it......I kno I would never buy it

Paypal sucks. I lost so much money from them, and all they can say is the person does not have enough funds in there account to get your money back every time.. Sorry saw that and had to vent

 

I just got off the phone with him...he said it's a "custom" computer that controls fuel made by Modern Performance or something like that.

Also about the wastegate, he said the one pictured is the one he has, and that sure as hell isn't a Tial wastegate, it's a POS deltagate.

If he's lied about that and has some "custom" computer, who knows if it really has that other stuff. I say stay away.
