How do I know if the car really has B&M tranny

[Executionerhk]

I am going to buy a car, seller said he had a B&M tranny up grade...
how do I know he really had a B&M on it?
how about the B&M shifter? anyway I can know?
he said he had performance upgrade...
anyway I can found out if he don have recipe?

Why are you even still considering buying this car after all the advice everyone has given to you? It's clear that he's lying to you, and what kind of certified mechanic doesn't keep his receipts? We all know it's important to keep receipts incase something messes up under warranty, if there was a "b&m tranny" for a Mazda wouldn't you think he would have his receipts for the warranty they should provide? Lowering springs for $2,000? Cam's causing the CEL light? Seriously man, just throw up the dirty duece and roll out, hop up here in the classifieds and find you another 1g for less than you're about to pay for that car. Hell if you have to find another shell that's decent, and use all the parts you currently have in your car to fix whatever is wrong with another 1g you can pick up. It's good though that you're asking for advice, just now take that advice, it's clear that you need to just walk away from this guy because he is feeding you line after line to buy a car that's not worth it. 1/4 in the 14's @ 120?
Wow, if you take one line of advice out of this whole paragraph take this: WALK AWAY!

he had all the paper work, but in parents house...
he can't go there and get it from me...
he said he will have the paper work for me around next TUE...
sound too promising

sounds like crap, though i did just buy a 90 gst for a grand, with a bunch of upgrades, but he has all the receipts, and i did a little looking around and i found some name brands on parts, i would just spend the 5 grand into ## dsm, if i had 5 grand, i would make my gst a monster, my 1.8 non turbo is probally faster then that mazda

5 grand also gets u a galant vr-4 on craigslist in boston, or a good 3000gt vr4
and straying away from dsm's you can get yourself an old mustang gt for 4 grand, that could run high 12's, with all the upgrades

Show me a pic of the engine bay and I'll tell you if it would run a 14 or not.

all he had in the engine bay is the intake
it is a little 1.8 V6...
he said he rebuild the engine about 60k ago...
his car is quicker than a 1998 Lexus ES 300 and 2002 For Taurus SES...

Guys, I just past the deal...
thanks for saving my a$$!!! !!!

my roomate and his dad both think like you guy...
if it is nothing serious, you can tune out the knocking... right?
he can't... so something wrong...
the only thing he said is there is nothing wrong... but he is not willing to prove it...

i think after all, it is better to have no car than a bad car...
at least that is what i learn from the laser

I just feel a bit depress, because i am so close to have a car...

Yeah The ford probe and mx6 LS came with a big brother to that 1.8 v6 which is the 2.5klde. somewhat quicker but not quite with 164 rated horsepower. then there is the JDM 2.5 the KLZE which is rated at about 200 horsepower, with the proper maf and ecu to match the motors stock potential and mild bolt ons this car would easily run mid to low 14's in such a crackerjack box of a car
