hmm.. nice car but a few discrepancies.
why only 9 psi if the internals are Supra TT? and what does he mean "the pistons are comp pistons and require a good warming up in the morning" ? i thought they were Supra TT pistons
and why will it take up to 3 weeks to get the title??
car looks well done, if it is on the up and up.

I havent looked at te E Bay add, but there oculd be very reasonable explanations for all of the above.
car only runs @ 9 lbs......I dont car what internals you have, if you dont have the supporitng cast to go with it, your boost will be limited......ie. proper feul upgrades, piggy back ecu, etc, etc
title will take up to 3 weeks to get.......if there is a lien on the car, that is a normal time period to pay off the car and get the lien released
comp pistons need warming up........its not explained well, but if you ever had a car with aftermarket forged pistons such as JE, Ross, etc, etc, then you would know what he is talking about. A forged piston usually has a certain amount of piston slap associated with it, depending on the clearance the slap amount may vary. When a forged piston gets hot, it will expand. You usually have more slap when the car is cold, as the engine warms (the pistons expand) the slap will be less noticeable.

the ad states that he has an SAFC2 and 440s, so fueling is taken care of.. at least for more than 300 hp. He has an MSD BTM and DIS ignition also.
i'm aware of the slap associated with forged aftermarket pistons, but this seller said that he was using Supra TT pistons, crank and rods. Unless his block is not the proper bore for the pistons that he's using (stock TT??) then there should be minimal if any noise.
good point on the title lein.. used to selling cars i have the title for.. no leins.
