    "You should know by looking at it, and by the boards, that I took good care of it."

    Supposedly taking care of a car means never touching the suspension, even when the shocks are done, never touching the hubs though they are both shot, 1 completely fell apart when we pulled it off the car. Add on the tie rod ends both being fucked, and both ball joints missing the boot completely or most of it, and 1 axle spraying grease out. Obviously those don't count for "taking care of a car".

    Aside from that, you also have a TB that doesn't seal to the flange that was made, nor was the IAC passage worth a shit once the vacuum leak around the TB was corrected. So I had to create a new IAC passage for the car to idle. Also, the car won't start when its hot cause the battery is in the trunk, and the wreck of power wires all half assed spliced together (and the line from the starter to the battery in a stock location was cut in half, then half assed spliced in place!). The alarm was wired up pretty lame as well and wires are all wrapped around the steering column where it connects to the rack. There is no boot around the rack to column connection either.

    The headers....yeah, great design actually...too bad its hitting the fans and the dogbone, has pinhole leaks, and the O2 sensor is only mounted on the front bank...clear down the backside further down than stock location. 3" more and you would have caught both banks exhaust but no, that would have been smarter. So the computer thinks its always perfect fueling cause the O2 doesn't even move! Awesome!

    I have pictures of the rear header as best as I could take, and where he cut the frame (could use a brace under the header that bolts in for easy removal, would probably stiffen it up some).

    So, he takes real good care of his car. Sold it for WAY too much even if it didn't need all this things. Tony got fucked in the ass, though he should have known better than buying a car from a jackass who we all know beats the piss out of his car despite what he wants to claim on taking care of it. Here is a link to the pictures.



    Rest of the car looked pretty good, but mechanically it was a piece and it still needs a lot of tuning. Only good thing I can say, its pretty damn fast as it sits once you get past 4k. Ill be making it a lot faster though once tony brings me back the car.

        do you think he'll post a reply to this? i'm curious as to what he might have to say about the things you found wrong.

          I don't think so, since he was banned long ago. Maybe he will post something about it on one of the other message boards.

                I can't believe someone actually bought it from him. Everytime Aaron touched a keyboard some of the most random moronic crap I've ever read was typed. Hey Tony I'm sorry to hear you got a shit deal, but damn dude, Aaron is a fucking Idiot.

                  I don't even want to know what Tony paid. Absolutely fucking incredible, and he talked like his shit didn't stink. How's that "spacer flange" holding up under the upper radiator hose?

                    BAHHAHA

                    He called it a spacer flange? Wow, what a fucking idiot.

                    I paid $4500, honestly I'm really not too pissed I have to replace parts. I figured this much anyways. The car is clean as hell, and I'm happy with most of it.

                    We'll see what happens from here.

                      Ouch! Definately not worth the $4500 paid, IMHO. Tony is smart when it comes to cars though, so I know that he will take care of the problems that is has, and get this car to perfect working and running condition.

                          No no, not about you. I didnt wanna share the price cause its not my car or transaction. Yeah, its a clean car with potential, but for what aaron says about taking care of a car...ROFL! Tony fixed a lot of stuff already so yeah, at least its in good hands now.
