No, I don’t kno the car, but I have texted him before asking about the lip and it’s one from a eg Honda civic. I saw him at cruise night not that long ago too. His intercooler is upside down too lol.

Price seems kind of high for a fwd and stock motor rebuild…i mean i know craigslist usually adds a couple thousand pounds, i mean dollars. but still, 5k?

also if your really interested in it, make sure the cylone intake is done properly, and not just bolted on.

If you dont know these cars…use this as an opportunity to learn them and buy a cheap one that’s stock or close to it and not “done” already. I would also suggest against buying someone elses project if you say you dont know the car either.

Also, what engine management is he using?
