can you tell if an opti is good by looking at it? i know a guy that has an opti that he SAID he bought put on the car, didnt fix the problem and he took it off, i looked inside all the spark plug connections and the coil wire connection and there was no corrosion at all! anything else i should look for? can it be bad but look good? he said 50 and its mine!

Only way to test it is to take it apart and inspect it and then install it and run it on the car.

When you take it apart as far as I know youre looking for corrosion, warped/damaged wheel, etc.

The only problem I've ever had with the opti is the rotor flying into little pieces and that was clearly distinguishable by the rattling of the pieces when you shook the opti.
