I'm getting ready to buy a 1990 TT from this guy. He says that the car runs fine when warmed up, but if you're cruising along and try to punch it or get i n thegas a bit, it bogs down. He just changed out the Air flow meter but that didn't help. Anybody got an idea on what the prob may be before i buy this thing? I don't wanna pay this dude , then have to fork out 2 or 3 grand more for repairs.

worried

 

I got this for you entropy....

chip??? z32s dont like "chips". the proper thing is to have the ECU re-flashed.

and a FMIC on a z32 is a) stupid b) ricey c) hurting performance rather than helping.

the mods you listed sound like stuff a kid would do, and the car has probably been thrashed on pretty good. i would not waste any more time looking at this one. personally, i would never buy a heavily modified car anyways.

 

Thanks man. I was thinking the same thing but wanted the opinion of the pro's

 

the owner of that car does not sound very intelligent.

 

its cause he isnt ^^^^^ only other wierd thing ive heard being done to a Z32 thats just as bad as what this guy did is dropping an LS1 into one

 

its not my fault if i wanna make assloads of power for cheap while still maintaining reliability and daily drivability.

 

thanks guys. I knew I could find the right answer here
