What are you talking about, man? If you don't "allow rims", what are you going to use for wheels?

While we are at it, the seller might not have mentioned it, but the "breaks" on the car are solid, OK? :badpokerface:

:troll:

6 second car for $3000.... not bad.

Just tune the NOS timer, lengthen the injector pulse another milli second, you'll run 9's.

the clock is in hours per hour. but the speedo is in MPH, so this car has 280k kms. im confident it could do a 6 second 330 foot time though

I love the ad.
zap straps to hold the COSTUM air intake SYSTUM.
If you look carefully, he takes multiple zap straps and ties them together to hold the clamps not in place as you see one of the clamps has come off from the coupler.

My parents have an 04 winter beater they've owned since basically new, it's been maintained properly and on schedule, yet in the last year alone it's racked up FOUR grand in repairs. Everything from engine mounts failing to wheel bearings, to the shifter linkage.

I ignore any ads written all in caps.

Half the cars on Craigslist seem to have breaks instead of brakes. Along with breaks, you'll often get a description of thread depth instead of tread depth. :)

they were eligible for collector plates at 15 yrs because they met the rarity criteria. although in a year they will be eligible purely based on age.

Collector plates! Personally I love those cars :)

thumper 01-26-2016 08:48 PM

those pepboys headlights have to die...

Lowered_Klass 01-26-2016 09:39 PM

^ Yup. If you're going to do 1-piece headlights, they had better be the proper JDM lights. Otherwise just leave the stock ones alone.

I will always have a soft spot for these cars. It was my first 'real' car I bought way back when, and got me started on modding... long before the Fast & Furious days lol

TopsyCrett 01-26-2016 10:59 PM

Aren't those just blackhoused JDM lights?

thumper 01-27-2016 04:32 AM

it says "bought at icbc auction", but dosen't say "rebuilt" on the sidebar... intentional omission, or something else? because A5's of this age don't come this cheap :confused:

(EDIT: ad was revised after i posted this... it's rebuilt as kkthind posted below)

ugh, the ad was edited after i posted >_<

so for newer cars with rebuilt title, i know that the factory warranty null and void, but are stuff like TSB repairs and recalls are still covered?

VR6GTI 01-27-2016 08:36 AM

I'd like to see why the vehicle was written off at $7200. No way does that seem right.

thumper 01-27-2016 08:40 AM

maybe the original owner had replacement coverage and icbc wrote it off, and this $7200 was how much some shop spent to put it back together with used parts and cheap labor?
