Seems like a nice setup, do you mind posting the asking price? Understand if you don't, but it may help people tell you if it's a decent buy.

If you are going to retune for pump I would get smaller injectors, no need for anything bigger than 800cc and driveability would be a lot better. After selling the big injectors you would probably come out ahead anyway. But honestly of you have e85 anywhere near, I'd leave the tune as is, you'll lose a decent amount of hp going to pump. How much boost is that tune running?

ya its red... every white one i find is way overpriced for the mod list, or it sells before I can get to it.

The body of this car and the interior need work (cloth interior i'm going to swap to all black)

but what has me sold on it is the build, its the first time in 7 months anyone i talked to about there car could provide proof of build, and wasnt done by the owner in his garage or a friend of a friend who happens to work on cars. etc etc.

I just want to have a tune for both 93 and E85. trying to drive 10hrs from florida to SC. on E85 would be difficult to say the least at finding gas stations.

The asking price is $6,000 for this particular car.

My ultimate plans come tax season next year if I do go with this car would be.
-Fix the body (previous owner had a body kit on it that the current owner took off as well as shaved the rear wiper but did a bad job of filling it in)
-Swap out the Interior
-Paint.
-New rims probably xxr 522, or 531's.

Depending on whats left - I might swap turbos or maybe a magnus v3 with there TB.

That seems like a good price considering he paid a reputable shop to do the work.
I'd pay that much for it. That turbo will do over 500whp dynojet for sure.

Yeah, that really looks pretty decent, I can't believe what people are asking for some DSM's these days. It's laughable.

Seems like a decent build sheet. Price seems reasonable. If it truly is rust free, that's worth a lot in my book.

XXR's, herra frush!!!

I agree rust free makes it worth so much more and easily outweighs the interior.

Where in florida is it? My brother lives near Orlando if you need a set of eyes on it.
