$5300 in just the engine alone! Hell, I bet he spent that much having Troy Lee paint that upper radiator hose yellow.

That thing has got to be really fast... It has a yellow radiator hose, oil cap, AND a yellow intake tube. Yellow = Horsepower and let me tell ya boys... That's gotta be a quick one. [Image: rolleyes.gif]

I bet the reserve is really high on this one. After all it has sooooo many custom touches. Do you have any idea how hard it was to order that big ass super snorkel from JC Witney? That sucker adds some horsepower too! With all the air it takes in it keeps the hood really cool and we all know that cool hoods make for faster car. Why that car is so fast it blew the door moulding right off the passengers side door AND it made the "disturber" break.


Seriously, I hope someone buys that car and repairs it.

On the intercooler......Dude - he has 1.87 outtakes and hot plugs. Everybody knows if you have this and you're only running 45 psi, you don't need a bigger intercooler!! [Image: smile.gif] That guy (on Ebay)needs to lay off the pipe while he is typing. DOH!

I think the hood scoop on it is ugly. The rest of the car looks nice. The motor don't look like it is all put together yet.

So much that .36 coefficient of drag. Someone really needs to rescue that car from the cretin who did all that.

I'd love to read the feedback from whoever buys it, if they really did buy that line of BS he put up.

How convient the distributor is broke. Guess that means it doesn't run and he just knows that it's the distributor and not something major. Interested to know what the reserve is.
