"This thing does... ummm... its got lots of different things it does."

"Here we have readouts... This is a turbo timer."

"This tells you readouts."

"This one, you can do this and you can do that."

Guy sounds like he has no friggen clue what he is talking about.

I pray to God that I'm wrong, cause if you buy this, it might be a nightmare. If he did it all himself, who knows what could be wrong with it. If he paid a shop to do it all, his money and intelligence ratio is way off... and his intelligence is the part that is heavily lacking.

Re: New dsm to minnesota?
 

he bought it from the guy who did all that stuff to it, he brings it to a shop so yea doesn't know much but neither do i. just want a nice dsm that i dont have to worry about...too often

Re: New dsm to minnesota?
 

Whats his reason for selling? He can't figure out what all the gauges do or what?

Re: New dsm to minnesota?
 

in the ad it says over 400 hp, but he never mentions what turbo he is running.

Re: New dsm to minnesota?
 

LOL!

This car seems really nice, and does have some nice things going for it. What numbers did it put down? On what dyno was it tuned on? Somebody has put some money into it, or at least it seems that way. I'd have him bring it into whatever shop he goes to, and have them give it a thorough going through, and get in writing if there are any problems. If you're buying a car out of state, you gotta be twice as careful, and also be ready to come home without a car, if it's not what you want. If you get out there, and it's shit, you can't feel obligated to take it home.

RRE Big 16G w/ TRE 34 mm WG valve

Re: New dsm to minnesota?
 

you can find a clean one local. unless you are going out to have it checked out your self I would not even think about it.

All that crap in side the car need to go
all you need is
dsmlink (dump the safc2)
boost gauge
oil press gauge
aem wide band (dump the narrow band

take out
the avcr and put in a mbc
narrow band
egt
safc2
move the aem wideband to the piller
move or take out the blitz turbo timer
the 5 point is not hooked up right at all

remove the so called car audio install and redo it right.

from the out side it looks clean. you need to get it up in a lift and check out the under side of the car and all the balljoints,tie rod ends,wheel bearings,bushings,ect

also there is no way it is making 400who on the big 16g

Re: New dsm to minnesota?
 

ive been looking, for a long time, and thats the one i have liked the best, i love the outside, the inside yes, i hate, thats where my money would be goin after the purchase deal until it can be redone and hey if i buy the car , tkr you think we could meet up sometime and do the stuff your talking about, i like your setup better and its a big if

Re: New dsm to minnesota?
 

yeah, he clearly has no idea what is going on with his car, and that means there is huge potential that the idiot messed it up.

Re: New dsm to minnesota?
 

Ok the previous owner was the one who did all the parts. The guy was a semi pro race car driver and this was his car he built. The guy who owns it now has had all work done by a shop

Re: New dsm to minnesota?
 

even owning/driving a modified car and not knowing whats done to it or having mechanical know-how is a dangerous proposition.

Re: New dsm to minnesota?
 

I saw the car and I thought, wow nice clean dsm. Then I listened to him talk and it just went out the window.

Re: New dsm to minnesota?
 

400hp worth of air+550cc injectors=Very lean engine :smoking:

My stupid internet...Double post action.

Re: New dsm to minnesota?
 

My vote still stands for buying locally. With patience you'll find something as good if not better than that locally. I know it seems like that's the car for you, but there are some things that throw up a red flag. Personally, it would be hard for me to trust a car I just bought (especially unknowing of who did the work, or how it was done) and trekking it half way across the country.

Just because it was supposedly built by some Pro-Am racer doesn't mean anything once it's out of his hands. Any bonehead can start throwing parts in to it, messing around with the tune etc...Overall, this could be a real money pit, and not the fun go-fast parts kind of money pit; more like the I gotta keep this thing running and somewhat reliable money pit.

None of us are trying to rain on your parade, we're just looking out for you.
