I don't know why they didn't put engine pics in this auction, but I bet they'd be interesting... Anyone want to email this guy and post them here?

This is in Seattle (Kirkland Infiniti) and I think it is the same one in the Keuylian (sp?) posts. It has 19" wheels and big Brembos in front (only) and a dual exhaust. I was thinking of going over and photographing the engine bay.

They were asking $46K with 24K miles. Wonder why the original owner decided to get rid of it? Do I see red flags ascending?

Any relatively new car with mods is a big red flag. Means something didn't work as expected.

The seller sent me pics of the motor, and a close-up of the brembo caliper & cross drilled rotors.

46k does seem a little steep..... If I had that kind of money, Id just get one new and put the supercharger on it.......

Mmmmm.... Q45 supercharged.. :drooling

I thought itd be cool if they made a twin turbo Q...... Then you could have the rear badge on it read Q45tt ...... That make for a hell of a sleeper.......

thats interesting. I thik however a supercharger would be better for the Q..... There isnt much extra room in there on the sides for turbos, but there might be enough for a supercharger....
