I just sold the DA teg.

http://www.realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/index.php?topic=4405.msg64248#new

19 year old kid buys it for cash

i took him for a rip in it

and i let him rip on it on the way back from the test drive

I get a call from him a few mins ago saying the turbo seized up and he blew the motor.

I did specifically tell him that i was selling as a parts only car.

The bill of sale that i wrote up said...

Im selling my 90 acura integra for $1800 as a parts vehicle only as-is condition. I will not be responsible for smog nor will give any type of warrenty's or guarantees what so ever.

both him and i signed it.

he knows it was boosted, told him i was selling for a parts vehicle only and both of us signed. I knew i shouldnt of sold it to this kid but the money looked so good in front of my face.

What should I do? Am I supposed to give his money back???

fuck no, it was running when it left you.
the sale was as is and he signed a doc agreeing to it, as bill handle puts it 'tell him to go pound sand'

Sold as is. End of story.

DO NOT GIVE HIM HIS MONEY BACK!!!! Sold "as is" thats it. For all you know he took of the line to the wastegate and let her rip. Its his problem now!!!!

take a look at it for him, maybe help him out with some free labour. He pays all parts, if hes a cunt about it tell him to go fuck himself. Hes probably a stupid kid and a plug wire fell off, lol.

I had a similar thing happen, though the funny part was I told the kid the engine was fucked and he decided to try driving it anyways. I was nice enough to pick him up, pay for the tow to the local mechanics and buy him dinner while we were talking about "what would happen". I eventually told him to get bent.

Do not give him the cash back.

If this shit was happening to you, you would never see your money back.

88dx · « **Reply #9 on:** August 05, 2009, 12:35:35 AM »

IF you do take a look at it and the charge pipe is blown off just tell him it is blown :yes:

turbob16hatch · « **Reply #10 on:** August 05, 2009, 12:35:54 AM »

Why do you even fucking care. i would have told him "well that sucks, maybe you shouldn't have fucked it up" oh and get bent.

BangBusMaster · « **Reply #11 on:** August 05, 2009, 12:38:07 AM »

He tried to top it out. 45 seconds of WOT later, it let go.

Tell him good luck w/ it and dont answer your phone.

ApexSilver06MR · « **Reply #12 on:** August 05, 2009, 12:45:28 AM »

Even if he did, he signed the paper saying that the car was sold as is.

most likely thing to have happened

mind you I have seen 1600 degrees from my pyro(in the exh. housing) while racing that bike at high speeds. Scared the piss out of me.

chris · « **Reply #16 on:** August 05, 2009, 02:22:35 AM »

Jay,

He bought a car with a turbo and a motor that doesnt belong in the car according to california law.

It was an off road vehicle

Future events do what i said to do in the first place

Thrown stock intake/manifold/smogged sold as a normal car. Sold turbo alone.

I have had to many friends who have dealt with this hence why I was telling you to do that. Selling turbo hondas unless its too a friend is nothing but trouble

I doubt it's anything so glorious. My money's on the charge pipe blowing off, and the kid stood on it seeing if the boost was going to come back until the turbo locked up.

d-rail · « **Reply #19 on:** August 05, 2009, 05:26:46 AM »

I'd say he's some ricer idiot who doesn't know what he's doing. Similiar to what JD said.

ApexSilver06MR · « **Reply #20 on:** August 05, 2009, 12:49:26 PM »

just heard back from dude.

he had a buddy check it out and blew a charge pipe off.

AstroVannin · « **Reply #21 on:** August 05, 2009, 12:58:04 PM »

This story ends with the kid killing himself in it trying to be a street race hero.

hope you took that opportunity to tell im that if he did in fact blow it up it has nothing to do with you. Not liable.

i sold a turbo civic to some kids before. car was a 99 civic ex with 56k miles on it and had been boosted at 8psi for about a year and a half never had a problem, wasnt like i raped on it daily either though. sold it to this kid, told him dont do long 5th gear pulls and only use premium gas from a decent gas station not that Am/Pm shit. get a call three months later him sayign that somebody told him that the turbo was blown and he was askign me where i got it from, told him local wrecking yard and he was like oh ok. asked him why he thought it was the turbo and he said it was because its making a knocking sound and kinda smokes a bit, said he let his friend turn the boost up to 18psi to see how fast it would be lol. told him good luck with his rod knock and the turbo is fine but have fun with the swap that he is going to be doing very soon. never answered his phone calls again

what is it with these fags and not being able to diagnose simple problems, and follow simple instructions.
sold my turbo car to a guy who had to drive it to milwaukee (90mi), i had a hood scoop for the the intercooler but when it rains really hard it would get water past the spark plug boots. i told the guy this, he calls me like 3 hours after buying it saying he wants the money back because it blew the head gasket. i told him no way the gasket was blown and asked him what was wrong, he said it would misfire and stutter. asked him if he remembered what i told him b4 and he says yes, so i said fucking pull the wires and blow out the spark plug holes. god damn

kids today don't pay attention in school. That, and we don't hardly have classes like machine shop and auto tech in high school anymore.

Instead we teach them home ec, or ceramics, or art class, and they grow up fucking retarded. Then when they see shit on TV and movies like fast and furious, and stupid street magazines, they just catch bits and pieces of car info, like turning the boost up, but have no idea the science of what is happening. then do dumb shit hoping someone smart will fix it AKA you.

If he henry'd him, it'd be in his garage still and the kid would be asking when he could pick it up and jay would be saying "ill let you know" for the next 5 months

Actually most go to web forums. read about 10 minutes a day for 3 months and know everything

If most would just go buy a car and actually work on it like basic shit and learn how to be a man.
