i wonder why he built a fresh motor and put a 2871 on it without doing rods? if you have everything apart, you might as well throw them on there.
Fresh could just mean he put in another stock motor, doesn't have to mean he had the one that was in it rebuilt.


Anyone that pulls their motor apart to "refresh" it with new rings/bearings and plans on running a BT is going to put rods in since they can be had for under $400.

2000 A4 quattro
164k on body..
fresh motor w/ paperwork 30k miles *stock*
i dunno, to me that means he refurbed a stock engine 30k miles ago. if he had done rods, he probably would have listed it in there, as that is one more selling point.

I'd only worry about a modded car because I've seen so many modded cars that are hack jobs. I don't trust many people to turn wrenches on my car, and if I'm buying a car I don't trust too many people who do it themselves. That's not to say they don't know what they're doing - they may well be better than I am with cars- but I get a little queasy when I'm told "yeah I did it all myself."

I love the wheels. I think I'll have mine painted black actually.
