I had a misfortune to deal with this individual. I wish I would have never met him.
He was trying to sell me a maroon 1G of his with a horrid rod knock. You can't hear it from inside the car and at idle under the hood. Only if you rev it beyond 3k, it appears, terrible, obvious, brutal rod knock.

I talked to him for an hour while he was driving the car back to his house, and then I was supposed to drive it home 200 miles. He has obvious mechanical background.

He knew it all long (his build thread claims: "So now I have a rattling noise at 2900rpm). Upon asking him over the phone, he said: "It was just a heatshield". I trusted the guy. What a mistake. He lied right in my face.
He wasted my time and money and almost sold me a piece of shit. Almost.

Watch out.
