it does look pretty good though. but without telling the truth will make it hard to sell.

Rather than get defensive about your snide comments much as a teenager would, allow me to answer some of these questions:

1. yes the car was listed for me by my father, who spends a lot more time on ebay than i, and on whose property the car is now. I'd be a pretty sucky swinderly if i tried to "scam someone" by only changing the seller. grow up. No it was not represented any differently. If you read the first posting/ebay listing you'd see that nothing important has changed in the current listing. I never went from saying that it ran to anything different, because at the moment the fuel rail is off because i was planning on installing the 470cc injectors. I wouldn't be very honest if i tried to make anyone believe a car is "driveable" when the fuel rail is on a workbench. This was all going on when i received a last minute offer of a job i couldn't pass up so everything just had to go on hold.

2. zoned019 you can fvck off with comments such as not knowing how to tune it myself. I can't finish the project because i don't live in the same state as the car anylonger, @$$hole. It clearly states in the listing that i make no promises or guarantees, mainly because how well the setup runs depends entirely on what kind of setup is used to finish it. i'm not trying to sell off a turd as a diamond. it's neither. it's got some work to go, but with the list of what's been done already, it's a bargain at what i'm willing to accept for it.

3. no this is not yuri's car (yes, i know yuri flores and his florida tib because i've been around for a while and so has he) he had a different hood, wheels and a more well done interior.

4. Let me make one thing clear, and this should put to rest any qualms that this is a scam. I really don't care if the car doesn't sell. it's not costing me anything to hang onto. if it doesn't sell, that will just give me an excuse to truck it to where i'm living currently later in the year and finish it myself. Then it will sell for quite a bit more than i'm willing to take for it now, because it will have dyno sheets and test drives to go along with it. i probably should just do that anyway, but i wanted to give someone in the community a chance to pick it up at a steal while i could use the extra cash. finishing the setup will take me longer than it might someone else simply because of my limited time and resources. I've portrayed this as what it is: a project car, nothing more, nothing less.

Please feel free to ask me any direct questions about the car and i'll be happy to answer them. This is certainly preferable to making unfair speculations.

Thanks

well, when i talked to him before, i think he was willing to take a lil over 2-3k for it.. i would buy it, cuz i pretty much can guarentee the problem is with the SAFC and the HUGE injectors, thats why it will only drive at low boost, and runs WAYYY to rich under anymore boost, and when the ECU corrects it back to stock.. wish i could afford just to drive down there..

to the seller, can you do me a HUGE favor, like i asked last time.. since the car is all together, and stuff, can you put the STOCK injectors back in, and dont use the SAFC, and let us know how that turns out, at like 3-5 psi.. please, that would put a lotta peoples minds at ease, and would make it easier to sell.
