receipts for all parts and labor
who tuned it
ask to fully check it out by you if you know how or a mechanic who does if they say no or come up with a lame excuse there probably a reason
ask a ton of questions if they dont answer them or dont know WALK AWAY

hope i helped

 

thanks.

How should I go about 'fully checking it out'?

 

Car was built and tuned by Main Stream Performance Inc. in atlanta, ga

Here's a link to the for sale ad

Link to the build up thread

 

well it seems like a pretty thourough build up check for his vouches on honda tech other than that just use good judgement it looks nice good luck hope its all good and you have fun with it

 

gotcha, I'll bring my compression gauge with me when I go to look at it. Thanks for all the help

 

I'd have HIM start it up, and take it for a shakedown run, check the AFR's and see how he drives it.
