Well I'm only speaking from my experience, most people normally have quite different opinions when it comes to halfcuts
I've heard of places that can start up a halfcut for you to hear it run before you buy it, not all places do that though.
They can be surprise packages, sometimes you get "goodies" with them (BOV, piggyback computer, etc), or you can get a "stock" one (as in it's stock at the moment but probably wasn't before)
km's are probably as genuine as any other complete jap car that you can buy... as in not genuine probably
Most of the time they come without panels, and a lot of them have had a crash, hence why they've been cut in half, so don't br surprised if you end up with one that's had a front end smash, the one I got had a front left corner smash.
I guess what you really have to concern yourself with is that you get a complete front cut.
By complete I'm talking:
- engine
- wiring loom
- computer
- manifolds
- turbo (if applicable)
- intercooler (if applicable)
- all inlet piping
- Brake & Clutch cylinders/hydraulics
- all associated bits & pieces of the above, like linees and stuff, brackets for things in the engine bay are good things to have
Basically I feel that a front cut should be exactly what it's called, the front half of a car.
sometimes you get brakes & suspension, count yourself lucky if you do
Warranty is normally 3 months parts, so get that thing into whatever it's going into and running as fast as possible :wassup:
