Looks like it was overheated or something?
What makes you say that? The clamp on the water hose? May have been, he said it smokes on start up. I'm hoping it is either very little smoke, or just leaky injectors!
Either way I'll find out soon!!! I'm going to pick it up tomorow! I'm as happy as a fat kid in a candy store!!!!
wow, that looks like my car cool, and wanta be boosted, I'll get those peices for the interior and the tails to you quick!
Cool
I've got to get that turbo shipped out on Monday! Heh, I'll take it to UPS in the Vert

Wow...
Got the car! And I must say, it's a steal for the money ($1300). But damn, the bastard has been in a pretty bad wreck, and most of the front end parts (bumper, fenders, hood, headlights....) Don't line up very well. They acctually cut out the drivers side front corner and put a new on it....
I'll get my brother to help me do some serious hammering, and straightening!
And the last bad thing! I HATE FREAKING AUTO TRANNY'S!!!!!! You can't drive fast with the tranny, if you do, and you go WOT, then once it gets to the end of first... It won't shift to second fast enough, unless you let off, but if you let off, then it goes into 2nd, then you go WOT again. It jumps back to freaking first!!!! You have to like manual shift the auto tranny threw first/second.
But the two really really sweet things about it, are the wheels, those things have a nice big lip. And it has a set of lowering springs on it, and it feels like your riding on the dang ground in the car!
Anyways.... More pictures tommorow
