I agree. Nothing good ever came out of Jersey. The 1300's are a good size for E85 but overkill on pump for a green. The lights could be any number of things. Maybe the ACD wasn't bled properly after a clutch install but who knows. There are too many variables IMO.

A little bit. They typically come with a higher price tag on those sites. Finding a clean stock/mostly stock IX is certainly the goal. Looking for clean IX that $10k+ in bolt-ons, should also be considered. A lot more variables and risk, but there is a huge potential upside.

This is a very legitimate point. The car could have Herpes.

Is there any downside to having the 1300's? Remember that it has the HKS F-Con V Pro.
