Default eBay: '93 GTS supercharged 5 speed conversion

Seems like this one should be a known car here.

Car has a bucking/hesitating issue. May be the maf causing it.

Ouch

The tranny is leaking fluid.

Ouch

The headgasket is leaking coolant

Ouch

I don't see any specific mention of engine being sharktuned?

Definitely a few pricklies there at the end… especially about the head gasket.

Hard to believe someone would do all this work then not fix these last three things.

That Murf kit probably has a used street value of around $5K (which BTW includes shark tuned chips).

I think so too. I sold him that kit and it is not a Murf stage 3. It is a stage 1 that I designed similar to the stage 3. I ran 13 psi through it on my car for 2 years+ with no issues. Of course I am a good tuner so they say around here. I told him to order a 5-7 psi pulley from Tim and not use the 13 until he had it tuned professionally and installed all the necessary incidentals as well. If you don't know what your doing, these things will go BOOM.

An Ebay listing of a supercharged car with no under hood pics, that is weird.

I think he would be further ahead to part this car out considering it's history and the issues it is having.

WP0AA2922PS815123 Can't stop people from hoping, and often "somebody" will buy the cheapest X no matter what is wrong with it.

I think I like the idea of making a pretend GTS out of an S4 more than a salvage title.

This car has been discussed and picked apart soooo many times now. It has a slavage title, twice over I think. The current owner has really made a mess of things. Sad really.

Persoanlly, I wouldn't touch this car with a 10 foot pole unless I was going to part it out.

Just my opinion.

Anyone else notice the seats? I hadn't noticed before but they are the early sport seat of all things! This poor car! SO SAD!

Isn't he a member here??? That email address sure looks familiar.

At least he could put matching twists on it comparing the front to the back...

In his ad he says the following:

Also remember that this car is a classic and has other flaws.
What does that even mean?
