What a moron.

* Headers and Downpipe $1249.95 35HP * Exhaust $665.95 15 HP * air Filter (high flow) $59.95 5HP *

15 hp from the Comptech exhaust, wow that amazing.
5 hp from the Comptech air filter, uh yeah

I thought at first that it was a Rick Case vehicle

Worst part is some sap will buy it thinking he's got that much power. Anyone want to send him a friendly reminder?

I need to find out who it is...I've got a few Comptech, AEM & Injen stickers to sell them...they make an extra 10HP at the wheels each and 50HP when combined!!! :p

I like how he is said he paid $800 for the "factory chrome wheels". Look pretty stock to me.

Those specs he gave on the aftermarket stuff is really bothering me. I think I'll email him and tell him that his specs are wrong and that he should change it!

I agree...he should be told that those specs are incorrect, but I doubt he will change them...

Well I just sent him an email!

I basically said:
Headers give about 30
Exhaust gives 0 - because its an axleback
drop in air filter gives 0 - CAI gives about 5hp

We'll see what kind of response he sends back!

Here is the Seller's reply to my email

"The only thing I can say is the specs are what Comptech told me.Plus I raced
2 Lexus GS400'S and beat them both by a 1/2 a car length.That should tell you
a little something. P.S. I also did the pulleys,let me ask you how
much power did I get from that ."

What do you guys think? I seriously doubt he beat 2 GS400's! Maybe off the line till about 60MPH, but anything further like 1/4 mile and the V8 will eat him up!!

Hey I don't want to hear this from you. You should know better.

Unless you meant 5hp was too low.

I highly doubt he beat GS400s since they have more torque off the line. Also, pulleys don't do jack sh!t.

Besides, this dumb ass is making claims of HP at the crank. Who gives a sh!t about that. If he is so sure he has a got a rocket with all those mods, he should get a dyno done and throw it up there on e-bay. What a fvckin jack ass.

He IS a fukin jackass, and only a dumbass buyer would believe it. So let the dumbasses waste their money if they really think his ad is true. There is no way an auto TL-S could beat a GS400 without forced induction or major internal mods. The TL-S is FWD, the GS is RWD with better gearing. Also i have the pulleys and they do sheit. I wish i never bought those pieces of crap. The only reason I bought intake and exhaust was for the sound. They really don't do much in terms of power and anyone who tells you he can feel the difference from these is either delusional or BSing.

Swell. Let some bidder buy a car that was raced and probably had the crap beat out of it for the first 3,000 miles. Who knows if he even broke it in? I wonder how his tranny will hold up?

(At least he did not mention the extra horses he gets from the newer 2001 styled cupholders!)

I wonder what happened to his TL-S rims. Did you notice that those rims he has on that car are CL-S rims? I wonder if it's even a real type-s. lol

I bet it's some repo car or stolen/recovered or something. Makes no sense buying a 30K +10K mods car and then selling it for about half the price. granted, the reserve is not met, but why would he be selling.

*Sigh*

He is an immature piece of sh*t who has d*ck for brains. He is from Staten Island, I know racers and ricers here all too well. He is a big ricer. I told him that a person like him deserves to get smacked to put 15HP for exhaust and 5HP for intake. His reply was "**** the car, bring it on anytime anyday". I replyed to him with an e-mail of what I thought about him a couple of days ago and I guess I shut him up, since I got no answer.....come to think of it, he wanted to fight me because I told him that it was impossible to have 315HP w/out NOS or Supercharger/Turbo (which is not out for the 2002TL)
