they are trying to sell this car for $8500, if you notice that is not a real greddy fmic, isnt that illegal for a shop to sell a car with some fake stuff like that?

I wouldn't buy it because it Looks like shit. Look at cold pipe there are aleast three pipe's I can see. There might even be like 4 pipes. Over all, The fact they but greddy on a ebay core. Its so funny. Look at there name.Tunerz With the "Z":keke: HAHA

I wouldn't buy that car for 8500. I mean, just look here on Zilvia, there are countless dope rides for sale, with decent, or bad ass paintjobs. I mean, that car looks like shit. For that price, they should have painted it, and what's up with the Freddy intercooler? I mean if it's not real, just leave it be. What's more gay, is that Greddy doesn't have any writings on the front of the core, which makes even less sense to do that. You would have to talk to the rep of that shop, and see if they are honest about the parts on the car.

That's straight ghetto.
Tuners should never be spelled with a 'z'...just reminds me of nawz.
IC should read Greedy. Doesn't matter either way. Some 16 year old kid is going to see the car, buy it, and total it. Sad to see an SR go like that.

Sadly Ive seen quite a few shops like this down in southern Ohio. Same lame names, same beat to hell cars (usually cavaliers or probes) for 5k more than they should be. They flourish in areas where imports are rarely driven and education above high school is obsolete.

Id go in the shop and kick the can around a bit to see how these guys are like atleast, before i pass an judgement on them. You never know whats going on untill you talk to them.

Well, I'm an asshole so I would more than likely go in and try to call em out on anything I see as possibly being bullshit. This car for $8500, IS BULLSHIT! I do not see any way, from where I sit right now that is, for this car to be worth $8500 unless that motor puts down well over 500hp in it's current state and is very well disguised. I just don't see it though.

i know what hes saying. It makes them stand out as posers, if you,yourself, actuality have a part and someone else has a fake one and tries to play it off as that big high quality expensive piece... it makes them look 10 times worse because you worked so hard to achieve something and all they did is put a sticker on it, now to the ppl that don't know any better it looks as if they have an expencive front mount (in this case)
example: this is my GReddy fmic, But its not even the cheep bar and plate one its the real deal high power high flow greddy
note: notice the deer damage where the "G" is lol

what the fuck do they tune, pontiac sunfires? there is no way they built that car. look at the shop, how did they find money for all the parts and motor when they can barely afford a good sign?
AWDTurbo
10-18-2007, 03:50 PM
Maybe they spent there money on tools inside???
I know my shop isnt the prettiest outside, But I have a good 250,000 worth inside!!!!!
Ya the car looks like a piece, But they could be just selling it for some kid that thinks he has gold?
You never know till you actually stop and talk to someone, I know a bunch that play people for fools, on purpose. Its a game we like to play.

You sure thats their car? I sometimes let people selling cars park them at my shop, however not in the front with our race and sponsored vehicles, and I would never advertise a peice like that.
LOL, I do get a lot of cars that look similar to that one stopping by the shop and taking pictures out front!

where is this shop man, i live in GA and i might stop buy and see how "legit" this car really is to be worth 8500... i see SR'd 240s all the time in my craigslist for as low as 3000.. that look better than that..

that's very true...just because the shop looks janky doesnt mean they work on jalopy's all day. I recently went to a shop in Kingsport, TN that looks like a regular garage/repair shop but you wouldnt believe what they had inside. Some of you might know this shop. Blown S2000, 2JZ Kouki, blown 350Z, KA-T hardbody, 600hp+ SR20, twin turbo KA and the guy is an insane installer, fabricator, builder, and tuner...pure genius. Back to topic, that car is honestly worth half of the asking price if the swap was done correctly.

I don't see the big deal. 99% of 'import' shops in GA are exactly like this place, run by a group of kids who have a little money, no absolutely nothing about running a business, and do hackjobs with Taiwan made tools and parts sourced through China that will probably burn to the ground within a week. They let anyone in to walk around and sit in customer's cars, steal change, play with their new gauges, and lean on the new paint with their huge belt buckle. It's no surprise to me this place exists or makes money doing it, because as long as the "enthusiasts" can only afford the very cheapest parts to just get by because their parents won't raise their allowance, that's all the businesses have to work with and they'll do fine with it.
A true shop with a showroom, full selection of tools, qualified technicians, and a policy preventing a bunch of hoodlums to loiter around in their parking lot rarely exists because no one can afford them. One of the nicer places in GA (one of the only ones actually) had to expand their customer base, hire more techs trained in dosmestic cars, and take on lesser jobs like oil changes and brakes because they weren't making a dime catering to higher class clients.
The typical 240SX owner has less than $3000 total to fill out their wishlist of parts, and that includes buying the car. A nice shop would turn away a kid hoping to get an SR installed and running for the $300 his mom loaned him to get it done. A place like the one in this thread would gladly take the $300 because they're only going to do $300 worth of work anyway, if not even less. And if they can build a shitass car for $2000 and sell it to some fool for $8500, more power to them. They're found a niche market that's just big enough to float them until the shop is robbed by those same kids coming in all the time or shutdown due to poor paperwork and zoning problems.

To be honest with you I'd probably check out the shop first. Then go over the complete car to see how it was built. Then make the call. :2f2f:

Until someone goes to this shop and actually provides proof they sell crap and build it instead of fucking tards assuming they do!!! You guys have no rights or judgment about anything!!!
Your just a bunch of baby wanna bee's that try to talk a big game and act all bad!!!
This thread proves your no better than them... actually your lower because your debating over something thats not even been proved.
I hope someone goes in there and they have like 10-20 built out the ass blown/turbo cars. Prob wrong but you cannot judge something by its outside looks, Thats how most of you get raped on the street!!!!
So someone provide proof and STOP talking SMACK!!!!!
