Thanks,

 

loooks pretty clean. he says he hasa 16g but no front mount... i'd ask to see pics of the door jams, trunk and under the hood most def. b/c it's a custom color if he didn't have it painted right it will look really tacky unerneath. i'd also ask him the make/trim of the 16g that he has. why it was rebuilt. any shifting problems. just get the basics. but the price isn't terrible.

 

looks like it could be decent besides the fwd lolbut you might want to check it out more thoroughly than that one pic of course

 

yeah open the door and check the jams, but i'm not gunna lie i like the color and yeah test drive that thing man

 

my worry is that is a decent ammount of miles. But if it appears to run good and the engine looks in good shape, then it doesnt seem to bad to me

 

Thanks, a lot guys... I will let you guys know the out come.

 

Just remember that when something dumb breaks that the car is 13 years old.

 

Well said Rob. Yeh i know what you mean, Im not the kind of person that will be pissed if the locks or something go out. Theres just certain things that you have to expect.

 

Does the red top engine come stock with the evo 3 turbo? Because i called him and he claims that the car has the stock red top turbo which is the evo.

Thanks,

 

honestly i'm not even sure what that means... i was assuming a red valve cover. but the only thing that i can think of that would be called a "red top engine" would be the EVO engine.. honestly i'm not sure.
here's a couple questions i'd ask him.
1. what kind of 16g turbo is it?
- how much psi did you run daily in it?
- how long have you had it on the engine?
2. what are you talking about when you said red top engine?
- is that an EVO engine swap? - if so, that must have been a REALLLLL pain b/c it's the same problem as swapping the 4g63ta into the 420a (engines are swapped opposite directions)

i'd start with those.
