If you do not give them a core there is a $1000 charge on top of that. Still one of the best deals around!!

He never posted a full list of all the modifications that have been done to this car.. He also never posted any other pictures of the car. The only pictures that all of us have seen is the one's off of Danstoy.net site.

Even at $3k thats a good deal, but for that price i could fly someone out from the mainland to rebuild mine, and then also learn how its done - which would be extremely valuable.

Hopefully i wont blow the motor, but you never know.

my intentions aint to make armando seem somewhat "shady" because when we did speak to him he was very cordial and helpful when it came to answering our questions.

I posted up just to see if anyone on the boards knew him personally and if they knew the status of the car?

What kinda numbers did the HKS put up on the dyno....... What psi was the car running when the engine went? Did you get any good HP runs before the seals blew?
