What do you guys think? Supposedly pushing 400HP on a racing engine. And I'm curious how much work that panel would take to fix? Trading him for my '97 Eclipse GS, he's keeping rims, plus $100 from me.. Idk if it's a good deal, what are your guys opinions?

I'm thinking that car's been beaten an abused...

The door looks like it just needs a paint job... As does the whole car which can be expensive. The front end is pretty smashed up, rear looks abused.
It kind of looks like they had no clue what the fuck they were doing when they put it on.

Luckily the hood is probably fine even though it looks incredibly dirty. You can just scrub it off and it should look brand new.

Ask them for the engine's specs too. Though it probably doesn't matter. If they fucked up putting the rear end on I can't imagine the hack job they did to the engine.

IMO.
I'm going to call bs!:noway: Need engine specs to prove it, If it "does" have 400hp there must be a lot of tuning done to accomplish those kind of numbers...So they would have the paper work to prove it.
Judging by the looks of there car, the body lines are not even close to lining up and it would need paint all around. That 3g looks beat to hell!! :facepalm: Honestly i would not waste my money or my time even thinking about that deal..
Your 2g looks very well kept and clean..Your body lines look great and your body work looks amazing! Please keep your ride and dont even waste time with this deal. Thanks for asking for the clubs opinion.
Just walk away from them, laughing! PLEASE!!!

I was just about to say... From what I could see there wasn't a turbo of any kind in there.. Slap the guy who is trying to sell it saying it makes 400hp for me :)

^^^All this.^^^

Real talk, the owner of that 3G is full of shit claiming 400hp on that motor setup. On top of that the car's exterior looks like a piece of shit, then again your 2G doesn't look much better. No deal.

IMO, I say keep your 2G. Looks a whole lot better than that disgrace of a 3G, A LOT better. Just wait for a better opportunity of a better 3G to come about if your really wanting the 3G, just keep looking. The 3G is a great car and I'm sure you will love it.

You guys obviously don't know what your talking bout, CF hood, Ridiculous Side Skirt. Horrible body Condition, Racing Seats. Dirty Engine bay. this guy might not be putting up 400hp but at least 399hp.

Nah, for real, Don't even do it, unless you feel like spending a shit load of money repairing that whole body just to basically be at square one. From the looks all i see is an intake. intakes don't boost like that. I agree with above. Ask for Specs. dyno runs or at least a Mods list. Then tell us. we can sniff the fake out.
