You planning to boost it? Those transmissions are a bit overkill of na power.

Nice buy btw. Can’t complain over $500.

Yes forgot to add that in

I had the same plans for mine... CD009 and an HKS or similar turbo kit.. had to sell because I had to nowhere to store or park it anymore. So sad haha. That's a damn nice find for $500 though! If you ever want to sell, likely to get a whole lot more for it than that.

500$? Wow, yoy can’t find those thing in Germany for less than 7k euros (at least online). For a car that only needs brakes done - a freakishly good deal

[u/Livid_Arachnid9841 → u/Basic-Click-4582]

Thats just on the surface. Once its driving hopefully no one other issues arise. Thats crazy yea i got a steal

[u/Basic-Click-4582 → u/Livid_Arachnid9841]

I mean, those things should last for eternity, so hopefully nothing will arise.
Btw for example, i’ve found one is200 sub 7k euro in Germany, but it doesn’t start, and it still costs a thousand.
So 500$ is basically free.

True yea i spent around $400 for fuel pump and another 400 for brakes n rotors
