This guy beats Ferraries! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png I don't know, seems like a bit of money for the car, but I guess it has a lot of stuff.

wow, the bidding got high on it...this I do not, and never will understand:



The car runs and drives, however my mechanic said the water pump seal is failing ($25 in parts), so car should not be driven long distances. I'm recommending that the car be towed or trailered. Thats another good reason to get the extra motor



Why the **** wouldnt you just put the $25 water pump in the car?

The guy does a full turbo conversion but doesnt want to put a water pump in before he sells the car? I say the engine is shot and overheats, so I will now raise the bullshit flag because of the water pump remark, lol :bsflag:

Rob x-7 01-17-2003 07:20 PM

I just noticed this, lol I hope the guy did that stripe himself, because if any body shop did that they should be forced to close down.



Nice stripe *******!

13BAce 01-17-2003 07:24 PM

That guy is a total bullshitter. There is NO freakin way his car would be so fast the way he has it. He has a stock ECU with a SAFC and 720 cc secondaries. Those wouldn't support much more than 300 HP. People are stupid to even believe him. I know my turbo convertibles. He has NO ENGINE SHOTS!!!

Rob x-7 01-17-2003 07:31 PM

But he will throw in a "big racing turbocharger" if you act now, lol.



Then this will be the view everyone sees of the car.... I dont know if I hate the stripe more coming or going

13BAce 01-17-2003 07:34 PM

Oh yeah, he also says that a similar car sells for $30,000. I'm guessing he means the Mariah Motorsports Convertible with the full body kit and a full turbo conversion. Yes, exactly like his car.:smirk:

If he races with that setup then the car is a time bomb.

13BAce 01-17-2003 07:37 PM

I would like to know why cars sell for MORE than their value on ebay?

Rob x-7 01-17-2003 07:39 PM

this whole thing has you very disturbed...

dont worry, Ill sell your car on Ebay for a bazillion dollars

Description something like this:

"this car once had a racing engine and drivetrain in it, this car once had about 500hp, all you have to do is throw a engine in and go racing"

pengaru 01-17-2003 08:16 PM

he said race/racing 17 times in that auction.

j9fd3s 01-17-2003 08:18 PM

haha ebay is funny that way. we used to sell miata cup holders on eba, full pop retail was (is!) like $20, dealer cost is like $12. the ebay people would bid it up to $22+ plus shipping, for something they could get anywhere.

isamu 01-17-2003 08:37 PM

The price really went up on that car, yesterday it was at 3500. I am surprised "the fast and the furious," wasn't mentioned in that ad.

I think people are just stupid, and they think that because something is on ebay they MUST be getting a good deal.

HA, nobody deserves my car but me. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

FCmaniac 01-18-2003 12:46 AM

man that stripe is ugly, but at least its extremely fast and built for racing so hopefully no one will notice when I blow by them at mach 10

If I could live with some ricer jackass driving my car after I sold it, I'd list it on E-bay just to make an extra 1-2k. Something like "This car was built for racing, and cars exactly like it sell for 35 thousand. I've put 25000 dollars worth of work into it, but it is missing all the lugnuts from the back rear wheel, which is why i was forced to sell it."

1Revvin7 01-18-2003 02:44 PM

I love how only trivial bolt on parts are listed, but like the turbo is not listed ie the brand a/r etc.... best part is the no engine shots! wtf? I beat lambos/ferraris! ahahha well **** i could sell my car for like 12K plus on ebay!! YAYAYA.. not like i ever would... but i could. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Now you've got the idea.

I'm assuming that he has the stock intercooler. At the best levels required to beat the cars he says he has beaten the motor would become a large hand grenade. Notice that the motor IN the car was imported from Japan, NOT rebuilt.

vosko 01-18-2003 04:37 PM

forged gears in the tranny WTF.... i bet its still N/A :squint:

My friend listed a 5" exhaust tip that he said was used in the fast and the fuRRiest movie. He claimed vin diZZel signed it and you could see the left over weld marks from when they changed the tip from car to car in the movie. He also took pics of apples and bannanas hangin out of it an **** and people bid on it like crazy. Before he ended the auction early the bidding was up to like 25k. Its rediculous what people think has value. :rice:

Why did he end the auction early? He should have taken the money. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

87RX7NA 01-18-2003 09:53 PM

LMAO!! "even cooks you breakfast the morning after"

jmseven7 01-19-2003 05:43 PM

I remember this guy. He used to live just north of Sacramento. He had an HUGE aluminum wing on it and those racing strips (couldn't find the gay guy).



From remembering the old pics of that car...it is not worth it. Whoever bought it for that much..... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/violin.gif
