i wouldn't buy it. first it is probably beat to **** and second he calls hawk pads hawker pads. the second one just bothers me. what's a khs ignition? or a dual cold air intake? nitro system?

 

dont do it...try to buy one stock as possible

 

well the dealer selling it has no ****ing idea what he is talking about first off. they always do that crap. second i would not buy a car that highly modified unless i knew the person sellin it personally and was sure the car was properly taken care of in the first place

the lack of drivetrain talk scares me too...

 

>FORGE BLOW OFF VALVE

Why is he promoting Hawk pads like they are better than brembo?

It also does not say where the car was tuned at.

 

unless ur really mechanically inclined n its selling 4 15K i wouldnt touch it ---> spend the extra money on a nice clean IX there's always good ones floating around here now and then

 

+1

 

yea man i would go with a clean ix

 

Dont do it, person sounds like a moron. get cleam VIII or a IX

 

I was about to post the same thing. If he's got that much modification, where it was done right or not. Who the hell tuned this beast.

...is it tuned...

ouch.

 

I wouldn't do it. Looks too risky. You're better off getting a stock one then do your own mods.

 

get yourself a nice 9 as stock as possible like everyone's advising. i bought a used 03 from a mom and pop shop 2 years back and it was nothing but a headache for the first couple months. I knew it needed some work, but not as much as i thought it did. I had to replace everything from the damn door hinges to the sunroof. The damn shift knob even flew off while i was shifting to fourth...literally flew off...so, yah...be careful what you buy...no need spending money on things that could have been avoided, let alone on something so "highly" modded... if its stock you'll know no ones really f*cked with it.

 

with all those mods the car has been beat on. dont buy it!

 

Probably cause they are. Those stock pads are garbage man

 

lets see some pics a dyno sheet and who did the work
