The car looks to be ok, but the vid provides barely any important info. The guy sounds like a complete idiot btw.. It's almost as if it's not his car or he doesn't have a clue what mods have been done because of his ****y communication skills lol. From my experience, if someone sounds like an idiot they most likely are which means they aren't the best driver. You need to see the car in person and inspect it for sure. If you could give us (or find out if you don't know) more info about the car such as mileage and ect. that would help.

Granted just about everyone does this in their Evo if it snows where they live (or rains if you live down south lol), but he was dumb enough to leave this vid up while trying to sell his car..

I never knew an avc-r or maybe its a fuel controller ran everything. I also had no clue that HKS started making their carbon ti exhaust is 3.5" piping. I had one in my garage for ever and my JIC Ti was definately bigger

lol I love you guys, I really do, so he was a bit vague while I was texting him, the car's in South Carolina, and I plan on seeing it over my spring break next weekend, I'm in chicago but my mom lives in NC Raleigh area (just moved) so it kinda worked out, I think he wanted 20K for it. with 72XXX on it roughly. I can't figure out what else is on that thing, I was concerned about the exhaust, how he said it was running rich. Dunno if that was an easy fix, and also he did sound like a tard, because I definitely was under the assumption that your really not spose to crank up the boost on stock internals without a tune and at least the where with all too what you are doing. Also he said it was a stock turbo? With black intercooler piping, idk may just be an idiot and I might have to move on to a different MR. thanks guys, any more info you need?
