It's been done before. Bottle feeding stock cars can be done with proper maps. I know a lot of lancers that n20 boost on their stock setup. It sucks that the few guys that tried it here blown up.

His car is very possible to build. But to have both a turbo and n20. He must be running forged pistons atleast.

Im not sure how eBay auctions work, I just like to look at things. But he has a reserve set for the car. Doesnt that mean that if the auction ends at like $3k but the reserve is set to like $10k, he doesnt have to sell it right? I dont know. Just looks like its not as cheap as some of you think it is in strict terms of auction price.

Yeah he has a reserve on it, and since he didnt mention it i would expect it to be really high. Normally you tell the reserve just so they know you arent selling it below a certain price. For all we know this will go for like $15,000.

Also would have been nice if he didnt take such ****ty pictures and at least cleaned the car up a bit before trying to sell it so it looks slightly more appealing.

Also researching around a little bit i noticed something. He barely mentions anything about the car itself, so for all we know it can be busted up.

That and he also relisted another car, same pictures, same details, same everything. Except instead of 20k miles, it was changed to 70k miles. This dude is bound to get some negative feedback.

Original with 20k:

New with 70k:

Yeah, something is really fishy about this.

yeah im going to go with the people saying "ITS A POS" my main complaint is its not NOS is jus a Nitrous system. NOS is a brand and he eveny ststes its a Holley Nitrous wet system. and the fact that he states nothing about internal mods to hold the NOS.
in a lancer.... stock internals+nitrous=BOOM

Just noticed something else - the sell says they have a Sony Xplod installed, but there are no pictures of the head unit even though it would not have been that hard to include in one of the pictures.

K I emailed him and asked about it. Here's his reply, doesn't sound too crazy anymore.

If you give me your Email Address I can send you some full engine bay and car shots. I just picked the most important ones cause it costs money per photo to put them on here. I have the nitrous disconnected cause the first motor blew with a 150 shot. It has a new motor that has 20,000 miles on it. The turbo kit is custom. It is set to a 75 shot right now but I still would take it to at least 50 IF I were to use it. But it has plenty of power already. It has upgraded headers by Road Race, Piggy Back Fuel Management System (Not Stand Alone, I wasn't thinking when I put that on the description), custom Intake, and thats about all. I took it to my local performance shop and the guy said all it needed to run the nitrous was upgraded pistons ($400). Please write me back if your interested.
