Awaiting a PPI on it but given it's already got an exhaust and coils just hoping to find out whether it was completely hooned or not. Thanks in advance.

of course it was hooned. the question is weather it was properly maintained.

ThatYeti · 08-26-2019, 09:55 PM

Fair point, anything special I should be checking for given the mileage?

Listen carefully for even a hint of whine from the transmission. Should run dead silent.

Shouldn't be loud at Cruise or on light throttle.

You asked. I would steer clear of anything modded. Period.

Appreciate that and I understand the risks with that, mainly looking to see if anyone knew/knows the prior owner as I'm just curious what else may have been installed and removed.

Something strikes me as I saw this on the New England 86 FB group and the warning was to stay away.

Apparently there was some questionable repair work done. That dealer also has a terrible reputation and is a good one to stay away from. Keep searching

ThatYeti · 08-29-2019, 10:46 AM

Thanks I guess, will keep looking

Never ever buy a modded car.
