Who's SpecB was this? (Not a spotted)

I've got a SpecB in my shop. It was highly modified and an attempt to return it to stock was made. It's pretty obvious this car had a front mount intercooler on it at some point along with alot of other stuff.

 

My problem is that it runs like crap and I've been hired to fix that.... but I can't get into the ecu. It's either got an AP tune or an ECUTek tune on it.

 

 

It's an 08 SpecB. Last 4 of the VIN are 1682. It has a yellow Duralast battery. It also has a oil change sticker from Oil Can Henry's in Longmont with a "next service due" date of 11/2009

 

 

 

 

Who's is it and what engine management system did you leave on it?

 

Please PM me as I don't want to violate any confidentiality stuff with my current customer.

ugh - thats rough,

 

Best of luck hearing back on this.

I bet it is this one.

That's it. Thanks Legend.

 

 

Don't buy this car.

That's it. Thanks Legend.

 

My friend Michelle has been casually looking into LGT's for a year or two. That one went up for sale last summer/fall. I talked to Pegleg, who is a really good guy. I bought the original VF46 off that car from him but never used it and sold it. Anyhow, the more I found out about the car the more I was.... well... not recommending it to my friend. So, I'm with ya!

 

She bought enthusiast's car last weekend

I've been told that the rings on two of the cylinders have been replaced... just the rings...

 

Don't wanna know...

It certainly seems that it was mine. I noticed that it popped up at a used car dealer off I-25 recently and saw what I believe was the fmic on craigslist shortly thereafter. I was always forthright about the problems this car had when I owned it and was trying to sell it, I ended up removing the ap/turboback/catch can/boost gauge and trading it in on a Venza in December of 09. I'm sorry I missed your post but I dont peruse this forum much anymore. I would have been happy to help had I seen your post earlier. I never did anything shady with the car and if in fact something was replaced on the motor it was done somewhere along the 7 month chain after I traded it in to the Toyota dealer. Not that it matters much at this point but it bothers me if that perception was out there.

^^ No negative perception in my mind at all! I watched with interest as you tried to sell it and you were very forthright about the issues the car was having... I believe it was thought to be injectors at one time... if I recall you had tried to get it taken care of but a shop was unable to resolve the issue. You divulged all of this. Nothing shady at all. As for my perception, my unedited post above calls you a "really good guy". I still believe that.

Hello,

 

I am considering purchasing this car, it is at The Sharpest Rides.

Car looks very clean, but I noticed your posts from while back.

 

Could you give me some info as to what was wrong and how it was handled?

 

I plan to ask for warranty as part of packaged deal.

 

Please let me know.

 

My number is 720-338-1510, feel free to contact me.

 

I would greatly appreciate any input.

 

Thank you!

 

Sean.

Tell the seller you know the history of the car and it's been beat and you want a full warranty... or walk away cause it's probably gonna be hurt
