Looking for the lower portion front bumper. Sorry about your loss...

Ironic that the picture was taken in front of COPART Salvage Auto Auction - kind of like a "you ain't gettin your hands on me!"....

Copart ='s free 8 parts, No one buys them there, They are given away, Pretty much! Thanks for the Drift pic SSC!

What happened to that car? Wasn't that a roadfly members car (VYMYSTIKALVY)?

i wonder what's smoking more- the tires or the engine

That's ALL tires. Motor is fairly new oem replacement.

ohhhh ok my bad...

Looking for the lower portion front bumper. Sorry about your loss...

Pls email me- greg at satservice dot com

Car stands up pretty good on throttle, Are there Bilsteins in the rear?

Greg set it on fire :-) or better yet make it a shooting range target :-)

8eights- yes Bilsteins, fronts are blown. The rear carriage is so loose it feels like 4 wheel steering. Over 60mph this car will scare you. I can't believe it was driven like this, dangerous.

Ethan, I think I would rather sell those body panels instead of shoot holes in them! What about the seats? No offer?

What seats :-) Plans change my friend. I am *king crazy for what I care.... I am flying to Florida for my 3rd 850.... If I have any money left I will look into your seats.... Actually I did find some on the east coast for $200 but shipping is killing me... I am waiting on uship.com for a $50 bid request I put on them and see how that goes....
I didn't make you an offer cuz I was afraid to insult you :-( I have no idea what your expectation is?

Cheers
Ethan

You know, no offense to the previous owner, but if you read the history on this car, it looked almost MINT in his books....Some folks really got me wonder about their opinion on their cars.... I am confused here.....

That's why i don't buy what i can't drive! Unless it's a steal. High end buyers take far larger losts, That car does presents itself pretty good on a computer screen though, I've seen far worse. Not the owners fault, He didn't try to push it off on any enthusiest that i know about.

That is very true indeed "He didn't try to push it off " I have to give him that....

Yea, I am also curious...

Yes it was VYMYSTIKALVY' car.... I guess just bad luck with that car thou.... I've looked at it about 2 years ago and it was in really poor conditions and now Greg beat me to it by few hours :-) I decided to wait until the next day to buy it and Greg showed up at midnight to pick it up... Now that's called dedication and a bit nuts :-) Just kidding partner....

Yea, I am also curious...

How much do you want for the complete car?
fixing my 850csi... need a complete car to get her on the road :(
pm or email khosrau@gmail.com

Car is in very poor condition all around. Pictures real well as 8eights said. This is one of those "20-footers". Any closer and things start to scare you. Brian was very honest and accurate, and is a good guy. I hope to see him back with another 8 as promised.
Ethan- you have absolutely lost your mind! Opening a dealership?! You're looking more and more like a "flipper"! Good luck with #3.
Marv- I'll let you know outcome of billies-

SCC it almost looks that way doesn't :-/ When you think you're done then you run into something better and you must have it right away...
Well I've promised my wife that I will not have more than two 850 at the same time in my garage....and I believe is practical as well...
So I find something better for my requirements then I move one of my 850's :-) Yes it kind of looks like a "flipper" but the good news is that those cars are well taken care off, as far as I can demonstrate. But at the end of the day a Pre-Purchase Inspection is MUST for any cars you buy..

I guess my issue is that I need to stop this madness :-( so medical help may be required..... How did you cure your madness? or not?

:-)

money was sent for the FTP lights...thanks and let me know about the valve covers

3 words:
LS1 T56 swap.

if you were to put an LS1 in that 8, it would surely look like that CASTROL commercial where the engine jumps out of the front of the car and zips down the street...

... that car was Super-scary to drive at anything over 45 mph!!
