I watched the episode and was disgusted with their modifications. It is really unfortunate how much the Fast and Furious movies have negatively impacted the Import scene.

yea there mods were absolutely sickening!

snake skin wheels etc just atrocious the tuning was good though.

I thought it was bogus of them going back and selling to the original owner.

Any who on the same page with you pdxhak

The snake skin crap is disgusting

The tuning was nothing but bs, it was a omfg Power FC, not to mention the original ECU was NOT stock, it was mod by Mines Japan, even has the sticker on it. like the show knows what they're talking about rofl .

and all the crap they mentioned ... lmao.

That was one of the worst wheeler dealers they've done - and the guy who got ripped off selling it AND buying it - just no helping some people...

I didn't watch it but it's super disappointing from what i'm readying...

its TV, in reality there was probably no buying or selling, they just filmed those scenes to make it look like there was.

That's a disappointing thought. At least we can still count on pro wrestling being on the up and up.

The snakeskin and the random blotches ruining the paint were indeed appalling.

I do enjoy most episodes. I like to see Edd's approach to repairs. I also get a kick of how they declare a profit if they cover the cost of parts, but don't tally up the labor.

I saw this episode the other day and was pretty sickened. I actually like the show in general, but they ruined that rx7. It started out better than it ended.... it not only shows the influence of the fast and furious, but it also shows where different areas are effected. I would guess this snake skin thing is "cool" in the UK, but most people here wouldnt go for it.

Please, I really hope you don't think us Brits would think snake skin is 'cool' - obviously I can't account for everyone, but I think the general consensus is snake skin wrap is not cool and should be killed with fire!

Also I do genuinely believe you can buy their cars - there is a section on the wheeler dealers website where they are for sale - hence the inflated prices they manage to sell them for!

They don't include labour costs in it as it is meant as an inspiration to home mechanics to turn a few cars around with their own time for a bit of a profit.

Usually it is a great program - just often disappointing for the cars I look forward to (it's not the first time )
