[QUOTE="the.greg, post: 1047320, member: 11226"] Nothing at all is wrong with it now mechanically. I have had to fix quite a few significant issues with the car, and the previous seller-venomous96cobra, lied to my face about some of the mods on the car. He also told me over the phone it ran perfectly, in truth it barely held a idle and it would stall out(remember I drove from Atlanta to Orlando to check it out!),and the "tune" it had on it when I got it was complete garbage. After I bought it I was contacted by a member on SVTP who had sold the complete meth/blower/xcal tuner setup to 96venomous(who I bought the car from) and he admitted that the tune wasn't finished, it was only meant to get the car running to get it to the dyno. Fortunately venomous96cobra mistakenly left a underdrive pulley on the crankshaft which limited the blower to 5psi which is what kept the engine from harm. He also conveniently "lost" the xcal when I showed up to buy the car and said he gave me his word that he would find it and ship it to me, which did NOT happen despite many phone calls/txts from me reminding him nicely to do so. Again, this has been a great learning experience for me and I now had the car running flawlessly right up until my t45 syncros went bad. As I pulled the transmission I realized I had a stock flywheel, not the aftermarket aluminum one I was told it had. Now I'm in the process of having my t45 rebuild by the t45 source, I already installed a new Fidanza aluminum flywheel, as well as Ram HDX clutch, and can't wait to drive it again. I just get mad when someone lies to me, but atleast I now have the issues sorted out. [/QUOTE]
