> The car needs valave seals which shouild be replaced before it is driven, and the power wire to the ecu is fried, so the car wont start. If you jump power from one wire to the dead wire, the car will start fine. Doesn’t look great. If you just did a full engine rebuild why wouldn’t you have checked the valve seals. Or known they were bad before hand. $20 says it’s an e-bay evo 3 This looks like a nightmare waiting to happen. ---

The owner barely knows his car. He wanted like 8k a few months back. He says it has 1000cc injectors(doesn’t know brand) and i don’t know how its being tuned with only an safc, so its running pig rich. All those parts are probably ebay. I’d pay 2k for it. ---

> [@cteclipse](#): > > he wasn’t taking less than 5k about a month ago, wonder whats up… Whats up is that i was asking 5 grand when the ecu was fine and it didnt need valves. But i’m keeping anyway. i’ve put way to much into it to sell it for only 3 grand. ---
