slownrusty Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Not sure if this is a compliment or not.... But two previous cars I built are now being sold on eBay...what are the chances of that???? Firstly my FJ22 230hp Powered Datsun 720 Truck: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissan-Other-Pickups-KING-CAB-NISSAN-KING-CAP-PICKUP-FJ20-DATSUN-TRICKED-720-510-240Z_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ84165QQitemZ4577915122QQrdZ1 and then secondly my 274hp AE86 20V Turbo: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Toyota-Corolla-TURBO-AE86-Toyota-Corolla-TURBO-AE86-4AG-ZE-AE92-MR-2_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6445QQitemZ4577716451QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW Puzzled!

24OZ Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 They look great Yasin! Liek the custom intake manifold on the Toyota. It is puzzling.. Maybe its a sign that you should buy them back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeeboost Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Did you do all of the work to them, or were these just unfinished projects that they took out of your hands. It looks like they're taking credit for them: Datsun: It is ironic I spent over $21,000 building this truck over 7 years to drive it and enjoy it, but it has not happened. Toyota: The transmission on the car is off a 1987 non turbo Supra it is the famous W55 tranny. I chose it as it will easily sustain 600hp and an incredible amount of torque. Custome designed all aluminum hard air box and then had my machinist make me it for me and it fits beautifully. Just curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bastaad525 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 GAWD I would love to have that Corolla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ-E Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 I remember the truck, it was and still is the most beautiful Datsun truck I have ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted September 25, 2005 Author Share Posted September 25, 2005 That what pissed me off with the sellers, they took my old ebay write-up and copied it to look like THEY built it. These are projects that I started from SCRATCH!!! This is what the truck looked like when I bought it: I thought I had so old pics of the Corolla, but could not find anything...trust me it looked pretty sad. The guys that bought the Corolla kept referring to the throttle bodies as the "carburettors" and then I got mad at him one day and said "do you know what EFI and Carburettors really are??" I wish I had the funds and space to buy them back! Someone give me a hug! Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest OSI Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 aw. that sucks they're taking credit for your work. Did they even do ANYTHING on the cars themselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunlover Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 You should ask the sellers questions, and then call BS when they make something up.. Hey, maybe you could lodge a complaint on e-bay.. seeing as you KNOW the vehicles cause you built them (and I'm sure you can easily show proof) they are technicaly mis-representing items for sale...
