When I saw this thread I thought you were going to link to the one for sale on here, where the kid wanted 8.5k! Fair enough if it had a stupid engine in, but you could wang a C20LET vauxhall together for a fraction of the price and go faster.

"hybrid turbo and mapping" it gets worse, you cant map k-jet also "Bored/Honed block to 1.25mm" that is very small, i suspect around 2cc engine capacity with a bore that size

I imagine it is done intentionally as the price is bacsically 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 that way he's top of the list of cars when you do you a search for that type of car by highest price.

It reads as though he wants someone to offer him a figure rather than stating a price.

Wow! Imagine telling someone you bought an old rs turbo for nearly a million? Think of the reaction you'd get.
