Just spent the past couple weeks working out a deal with Dillon to purchase this car. Loaded up my trailer and drove 12 hours to Utah to pick it up.
What a PIECE OF SHIT. I've never seen such high quality parts completely shit rigged into a vehicle.
First of all the car didn't run despite weeks of working this deal out, time he could have used to prep the vehicle. Upon inspection the engine sits in the bay crooked. The engine mounts are accompanied by a stack of spacers to make it secure. 90 degree plumbing bends are used instead of factory lines. The alternator was shot. I purchased a battery to get it started. took it for a spin and butt dyno reads barely 200HP. It barely even hits any kind of boost. I checked the turbo which had shaft play up and down, in and out. Stock front brakes with willwood rear. The hydro ebrake was a pass-through, not even a dual caliper set up. Fabrication work on cage was equivalent to childhood booger wiping. Dashboard is flopping around. Wiring throughout is a complete nightmare hack job. Leaking coolant, front cams are leaking, steering leaking, oil pan leaking...basically this car is bleeding out in front of me at idle. Missing all the grommets into the firewall. Both computers are not mounted and just flopping around. Only one fuel pump working. Paint is orange peel. Pedal assembly is hack job. Body panels don't line up. The crowler transmission parts aren't installed and neither are the ARP head studs. No steal braided brake lines. aluminum center counsel is shit with drive shaft exposed. Hood release in cab just dangling. Cut wires everywhere. etc..............................
Meanwhile the 22 year old owner is completely oblivious believing that this is a professionally built 400hp plus drift/show car. Total turd despite once being a Super Street cover car. Since then it was purchased with no Motor/tranny/wheels/or interior, and completely shit rigged it together.
I should have taken more photos and notes. It was just such a heap of shit
He could have just been honest about the build. Or at 22, in the middle of Utah, maybe he just doesn't know any better. Huge waste of time and disappointment.
