[QUOTE="TT91, post: 13412013, member: 41073"] Sit down, I'm about to break it down for you. The shop that installed the turbo kit, to remain unnamed, shimmed the steering rack to make room for the downpipes. This prevents the steering wheel to turn past 1.5 rotations. This makes the car extremely difficult to navigate around parking lots, driveways, residential streets, or anywhere else its required to turn the wheel more than 1.5 rotations. No such thing as a 3 point turn..Takes value from the car.. Regarding the turbo kit, twin 70mm turbos on a stock 4.6 motor is complete overkill. Speaking from personal experience, this car doesn't start making boost until 4300rpm. What it needs is a pair of 58mm, or a single 76. Combine that with the next factor, and you can figure it out for yourself.. The car doesn't shift properly. We cant figure out if its the clutch, or the shifter. The trans seems to be ok, but whenever the engine is under load, and you attempt to shift, into any gear, there's a good 2 second pause before the trans accepts the shift, and it requires a good amount of force. Takes value from the car.. The car is leaking fuel. The moment Curtis pulled into NJ with the car, it wreaked of fuel. So much, that the owner of the storage facility doesn't want to the car being started while its inside. Seems like a previous shop used Teflon tape on all the AN fittings, which is a HUGE NO NO, and the lethal performance push lock fittings are weeping at multiple connections. Takes value from the car.. No air conditioning....takes value from the car. The interior center dash bezel has been spray painted. The door inserts have also been spray painted. The line lock switch has been drilled through the shifter bezel, which is also painted, and the headlight switch (push/pull) is broken. Gauge cluster has been changed to a silly Aeromotive one... Takes value from the car.. The Corbeau seats .....not all people fit into them, and they don't match the rear seats(ugly). The original Cobra seats are not available, which also takes value from the car. The harness bar is incomplete. Its missing the supporting hardware, which renders it useless and DANGEROUS.Takes value from the car.. Windows are tinted, horribly. Takes value from the car.. Bumper has cut outs in it, although they are functional if you opt to run open dumps... they take value from the car.. Did I forget anything? Oh yea, why would I spend 21k on a car that needs 4-5k of work. I could just spend 21k on a car that has AC, and needs NO WORK. The reason I have the car is because I wanted to make Curtis a serious offer, but once I had seen the car in person, I had to re-think my offer. I like the car, I think it has great potential, but it needs serious work. I also like Curtis ;), (its a Marine thing) ,and its unfortunate that there's been some shady work done to his car. [/QUOTE]
