wow hawaii....welp its still not worth 2800+2k or whatever it works out to be with shipping. and if he's boosting 10psi its not "safe". the stock computer cuts off fuel above stock boost pressures. i saw that there's a piggy back fuel controller... kool. BUT its it tuned on a dyno? are all the wires that were crimped/snipped wrapped up to be free from shorts? ask what's broken with the clutch or have it taken in to see.... i understand you really want a 7 and its hard to find them in Hawaii, but i wouldn't buy this one unless i had $$$$ big loot to work on it.



good luck though... move to louisianna or ohio and you can buy one of my 7's.

Who is trying to rip you off?

Who is selling the car?

I dunno man,that sounds like too much money to be putting out. So are you saying even new cars get their prices raised like that as well?



I would talk him down,it sounds like it needs too much work.



Hell,I just bought a RUNNING T2 that needs minor bodywork for $800 Cdn!

Again I ask, who's car is this?

Yes, I'm in Hawaii.

Is this in Honolulu or at least on Oahu?



I've never heard of such an FC...



BTW, shipping from the west coast port city is right under $1,000.

The clutch problem could be as simple as worn out master and/or slave cylinders.



That car has a lot of expensive mods done to it. A well done rebuilt street ported engine with 3mm apex seals cost me 4700 to give you and idea of what he has into the car. No matter what he is loosing big money on it.



Of course unless you have a reciept for the rebuild you'll have no idea who did it and if it was done right.

Jims5543 05-11-2004 10:32 AM

Oh! BTW- with the fuel upgrades listed (I would inquire if the fuel pump was upgraded) you "should" be O.K. at 10 PSI. If you purchase it I would look into dynoing it to make sure your A/F ratios are good and safe.



ROTARYROCKET7 - No offense, your car is super clean and really nice, but, you cannot compare the value of an Automatic N/A to a TII. Your looking into a 5 speed swap arent you? Most people shy away from Automatics so their resale tends to be lower.

It was the white FC in Islandpreviews that was going around 5500 The guys name was Scott this is all on Oahu, yeah he has a walbro fuel pump. Ted do you know any good rotary shops on Oahu? http://www.islandpreviews.com/main/modules...php?ad_id=13454
