Sweet. Gotta wonder how much greenback was sunk in that 'Lude, as nice as it may be. I bet a brand new Corvette Z06 would be cheaper, of course much faster, and would live for 25+ years and 300,000 miles with the trusty v-8.
That 'Lude is being sold with 700 miles on the engine, because with that amount of boost, the head will be launched into a LEO (low earth orbit) within the next 700 miles. But by god, those will be some 700 miles! By the way, how many 205/50s does that puppy go through? And I'm sure the ATTS was ripped out prior to the turbo install, otherwise that clutch system has already probably gone south!
Actually I'm pretty impressed with the car. I easily believe that it is producing 360 WHP. As far as launching the head into orbit, I highly doubt that as well. If he only has 205s on the 17s I'd have to laugh, he should at least have a 215 or 225 on there. A 225 would be pushing it, but it is possible with the right rim. If everything is done on there that he says, it should easily be everything he says. He probably has 50k stuck into that easy with car and upgrades combined, and bang for the buck you can't go wrong. The big deal here is, that if that car isn't taken care of right by the buyer, that thing is going to go nothing but downhill. It needs someone who either has the money to take care of it or the knowledge to fix and repair it themselves. And the buyer better either know turbo charging or get to know it, that certainly isn't a kids toy. The other thing the car could use is a hondata computer or something along those lines. I'd like to see it up close and personal. It would be pretty wild to see the new owner pop up in here in the next couple of weeks.

As far as the price, yeah it seems a little low for that nice of a car, but a car is never an investment, the only way you could ever get what you wanted out of a car is if you found an enthusiast that was just as crazy about that car as you were.
If you're talking about the setup he has, it's not too good to be true. Talk to spocko on here, he has a set up that is damn near that crazy and he lives about 5 blocks from me. I've worked on it a bit with him and even got to drive it, damn is it fun.

Everytime I see a super hooked up car like that for sale, red flags go up. I'm willing to put money on it, that motor is f**ked! His ad sounds like most RX-7 ads. New turbos, new motors, 1 mile on the new motor, etc.. Shoot, I was one of them. I was trying to sell my Type R and it was dogged to be damned. The guy who has it now doesn't drive it much. As a matter of fact, he bought a Lude also.
