If I can shoehorn the 2.2 as an addition, I'm going to have a 480bph AWD! If I'm not mistaken, I think someone did this a CRX and the results were outstanding.

$1500! Great deal if it is not a scam.

No, I didn't bid. As much as I would have liked it for a Lotus Seven replica autocrosser, my wife would kill me!

Oh, and I believed the 8 miles. Did you notice it still had spring spacers?

Check this out! I was going to buy this. I asked him about the car and where he is. I was the high bidder at $1500.

Hi,

Yes is out of a wrecked S2000.Yes i guarantee the start-up. You can test it for 10 days. if it will not be as you expected to be, you can return it with no expense. Right now i am located at one of my bussiness address in London,England and the item is here with me. I'll do the shipping
from here. The price that i want for it is 1700 us dollars with shipping included.

Here is how I will go about delivery and payment for the item which will be through TNT and will also give you the chance to
inspect the item before I receive the payment for it.
I will explain to you step by step how this will work.
A. First you have to send me your shipping information (your name and address).
1. After I receive your shipping info, I'll go to a TNT Location and leave the item onto your name and with your address
as the intended receiver.
2. TNT will check the item, also the legal papers to see that everything is ok with it.
B. You will receive a notification from TNT as a confirmation that the item is in their custody and also, that the item has
been checked.
1. After that, you will have to make a money transfer via Western
Union on my name, as a guarantee, and send the payment information to TNT.
2. TNT will verify the Money Transfer, and if everything is in order, they will deliver the item to your door step.
3. After you will receive the item and you will be completely satisfied with it, you will instruct TNT to release the
payment information to me, so I can collect my money.
C. The item will be shiped with a return policy for 10 days, days in what you can inspect it. If by any reason, you will not
be satisfied with the item, if the item will not be as you expected to be, or you will not be happy with the purchase, you
can return the item to TNT with no expenses. I am sure that this won`t happend since the condition of the item is very good,
but this is a guarantee from my part for you.
TNT is a Postal Service , same as UPS or Fedex.It is very popular in UK. TNT will check the item before sending you the
POD-Proof Of Delivery.

The transaction will be covered by ebay, we will transact through ebay and if you agree to purchase it ebay will contact you
to confirm you the safety of the transaction, will contact you with the approval of the transaction in what will confirm you
that you can make this transaction with me using TNT Service.

Let me know if you can purchase it for my price

I just sent him and email asking him about where it's located, and how I'd have to pay for it. If I decide it's a scam, I will bid $50,000 on it to prevent someone from getting scammed.

It costs way more than $200 dollars to ship something that heavy from London. I could be wrong but I would stay away dude.

How bout additional pictures? Or maybe ask him to use paypal to transfer money? It sounds to fishy and to good to be true.

I would contact Western Union about options if the item is bogus. I think once you send the money, it is gone. Western Union is out of the picture.

I will bet my left nut that this is a scam. I have seen too many of the deals where the guy is out of country and you have to western union the money and he goes through some go-between company that suppose to inspect the product. Don't fall for this. It would be so easy for him to get atleast $5k for this if it were real.
