More pics

a lot better than the civic you were looking at.

yh id say its worth that it looks like a pretty decent setup so id say go for it.

also have u got any perfomance specs for it?

No i dont but since it has the stock t-25 turbo i would say no more than 250 whp

So prob around high 13 second 1/4s

Wow, all that money and he left the stock turbo on there. An A/F controller/tuner, fuel system and turbo would have given him more hp than the rest of those mods combined. Not to mention, a BOV is only designed if you're putting out alot of boost. I don't see the stock turbo putting out enough to warrant a larger BOV, otherwise you're just leaning out your mixture every time you shift gears.

I'd offer him 10-12k for it and use the extra money to actually make it fast.

ya it looks nicer than the civic not quite as fast but hey all it needs to break well over the 300 whp mark would be a decent 16g turbo it already has everything else.

Ya dont know why he spent all that money and left the stock t-25 in their but its an easy fix

Already offered him 13 and he told me if he didnt get the 15 he had no problem letting it sit in his gurage for years.

People don't understand that when you dump alot of money into a car, unless it's built specifically for something (hot rod, drag car, or any true race car) you aren't going to get your money out of it. He probably has his heart set on an Evo and needs the money for a down payment or something. Def too much money for that car.

What year and how many miles is on it? It was my impression that the Spyder was actually slower than the coupes were too. Not sure if it was a speed limiter or hp though. If it has ultra low miles, like no more than 20k, I can see the price being a little high.

it has 50,000 whis is the lowest origional miles on a 96 i have ever seen. Also it is the best maintained 10 year old dsm i have ever seen also no imperfections and i looked for them for about 30 minits.

Not worth it. What kind of injectors does it have and what kind of fuel pump? I'm guessing stock. Maybe it's me but I think he took off the Big 16G, 720CC injectors, and Walboro 255 LPH fuel Pump that he probably had on there So he can make more money by selling them individually. Nobody does all those mods without a Bigger Turbo, Fuel Pump, and Injectors. That's just what I think

Just got done talking to him again and it is the stock turbo but it is modded i guess it is ported and they are the stock injectors but it does have an aftermarket fuel pump so all i would really need would be injectors and a new turbo..........

fot $15K it should already be on it. I wouldn't pay more than $11K. The car is worth about $5k Stock. Those mods are OK but not good enough to raise the value of the car by $10K. Do you know that with $10K and the knowledge to do stuff on that car yourself you can make it run 10's? And the hood and wing are hideous. Dude get a stock car or a car with less mods and mod it yourself.

I have thought about that but it is just to much trouble and takes to long when i want one now with out having to build it from the ground up.

OK get that eclipse if he let it go for $11K or $12K

Wow!!! Still has warranty on the drivetrain (double check to make sure it will carry over to you) and would woop the pants off that other "all show, no go" Spyder.
Hmmm, it's an automatic though. Drive it before you let that get in the way. I drive an auto and it kicks ass.

He'll be able to swap the transmission with the money he'll be saving. I know this guy who did it himself and it cost him like $600. Paying to get it done would cost like 400. So it would cost him like $1000 total.

ya it is didnt know we were talking bout a different spyder

Ya that car looked good might have but its gone now i think winning bid was 7,600

The only thing i would do would be prob 650 injectors and a large 550 cfm 16g and that would only set me back at the most 1k so if i could get him down to 14k i think it would be worth it.

I wouldn't get it but it seems you have your heart set on it so ahead and get it.
