The car had serve issue that he didn't explain in has listing. I had a Acura master tech diagnose the car. We spend over 15k to get the car running normally and correctly. It has became a money pit, this car was a nightmare to fix..... But we fixed everything and FYI factory parts are not cheap At all.

Issues
1. The entire engine jump timing and was not running full power at all. Had to replace the tb/wp, belts, cam seal, valve adjustment and etc...

2. Supercharger was install incorrectly the engine purged a lot, wiring harness were all screwed up, they were just tied together with black tape (no solder at all) my brother and I fixed all the wires and ping outs.... Also he had ran the wrong fuel injector and spark plug. Engine was running very hot, heat soak in engine bay because of the short ram intake and it overheated twice, we repair all that and swap back to factory intake box

3. Brake were done, need new rotor and pad, also the brake master cylinder went out when I bought it

4. Climate control unit was working incorrectly, had to replace it, and replaced need a new ac compressor, belt, dryer, and recharge

5. a wideband that was hook up but no gauge. So we install a Aem wideband for tuning

6. Some of the interior panels and and entire trunk interior was missing...

7. Some of the bolts for the main rear cradle for the engine missing (very dangerous) that explained why the driver side rear hub was moving during Dyno tuning... We discover it later

There more minor things that was wrong with the car but I explained the major issue and we also replace some aftermarket part to make it sound better and driving better.

If anyone has question please pm, I'm happy to answer for you

Most people in this thread couldn't afford the trunk interior that he bought for this car.... Glws it's a very good looking car. And a big thank you for dropping the loot to make a great car, what it was intended to be.

Edit: I'm not justifying his 20k dollar price increase. Next time sign your rep fag.
