Default Another 944 abuser on ebay. . .

I honestly don't even know why I look there anymore. I never buy anything off there and every time I go on I see something like this. Makes me want to cry at the stupidity and unworthiness of some owners.

Needless to say, I sent this assclown an e-mail.

WHY OH WHY GOD!!!

"This engine is made for a Turbo and Nitrous has same effect, that's why I put the Turbo decal on rear of car."
So the turbo decal makes it a turbo?

Besides the turbo decal, I don't see anything that horrible about it. It could be brought back to stock fairly easy, no? IMO it's not on the ranks of most of the bad ebay posts!

That would be easy to return back to stock. Nice car in my opinion by the looks. Remove the rear spoiler a few decals and its as good as original. I have seen much worst.

Might be able to be brought back to stock, but would you want to deal with an engine that's been on nitrous???

That was my thought. I really do want to get an S2 cab, and I'd sell or trade my 951 for it (sadly, but I would. . .) HOWEVER do you really want a car that's been owned by someone that claims "these engines were built for turbo"? Ummm. No. They weren't. The 2.5L engines with forged internals were, but the 3.0L ones weren't. Not to say it can't be done, but this boob would have one believe it's okay to fire up the NAWWWWS and bolt a turbo and probably an electric supercharger on it. Plus, you know that car's been street raced and probably beaten to hell.

The car doesn't seem that bad. I know owners of 944's that took a lot worse care of them than this guy.

at least the nitrous system can be removed from the car. However, I'd reccommend a compression and leakdown test to be sure he really didn't batter that motor with NOS.

That would be my main concern if I was interested in this car. More than likely he used the nitrous quite abit!

The girl in the picture is a good friend of mine named Pam, pretty wild night at the bar that day to say the least....

I've certainly seen much worse on e-bay. Although I like the little paradox there.. I added nitrous but I baby the car. Yea right.
