Need money for school! Looking for about $5300obo. Will consider trade (value $1500-$2500)+$3000 as well. You can PM me if you need more info, its also listed on AutoTrader and you can contact me through there. I live in Butte, MT area code 59701. Willing to drive about 8 hours any direction to meet half way-for sale. This is by no means a show car! It is not all sproused up to look pretty. This has a CA18DET engine and 5-speed swap. I have an extra CA18DET engine for parts. I also have the KA24DE automatic transmission (previous owner had it rebuilt and then I bought the car). Plus, a crap load of extra parts including a spare T25 turbo and Tomei cam shafts (one is broken). All are included with the car. The extra engine and transmission are located in Kennewick, WA. The CA18DET engine has between 35,000-55,000 miles on it. I have only driven this car about 700 miles. I drove it from Kennewick, WA to Butte, MT. Then sometimes on the weekends. Has a clear title. There are some dents, nothing major. Paint chipped in spots, no peeling. I'm a ASE certified Technician in area A6-Electronics/Electical and am still attending school. These parts were either installed by myself or by Kaizen Speed (visit www.KaizenSpeed.com ). links for Pictures Below, if there is something you want to see, let me know!

What's wrong with it: vehicle speed sensor needs hooked up, hates the cold (if you add HEET it fires right up), some items require installation (working on this between assignments), no wiper fluid container, radiator overflow needs installed, needs upper shift boot, hood is a little warped (could use a new one but not necessary), could use a torque damper or solid motor mounts to decrease engine vibration, no stereo, odometer doesn't work, Drivers side shoudler belt has been disconnected from motor, pops between 3200-3800 RPM in 3rd and 4th gear-once you get past the 3800RPM mark it stops(note: this problem is sparatic, doesnt happen all the time)-I believe it just needs tuned by a professional to fix this problem.

Below is a list of modifications+price estimates(sure I missed some):
Z32 MAF (not installed, needs connector)-$125
444cc Injectors-$150
255 LPH Walbro Fuel Pump-$100
Tomei High lift Springs 10.25 (not installed)-$300
Cometic Metal Head Gasket (not installed)-$100
XS Power Front Mount Inner Cooler-$200
Kaizen Speed Inner Cooler Piping-$600
Cold Air Intake-$40
Kaizen Speed Intake Piping-$100
SPEC Stage 2 clutch-$300
Greddy Type RS Blow Off Valve-$200
Dual Electric Radiator Fans-$100
Motoria 3" Exhaust and Downpipe-$250
Autometer Cobalt EGT Gauge (needs tapped into manifold)-$150
Autometer Cobalt Boost Gauge(vacuum line needs replaced/repaired)-$70
Autometer Cobalt Tachometer-$200
Tanabe Front Sway Bar-$150
Tanabe Rear Sway Bar-$150
Cusco Front Strut Bar-$150
Cusco Rear OS Strut Bar-$150
Apexi AFC Neo (needs mapped by professional)-$300
Apexi Super AVCR (original, install needs finished, missing harness that connecects from AVC to solenoids)-$150
Apexi Turbo Timer (install needs finished)-$75
Tomei Tech Trax Advance LSD-$750
Just needs Coilovers! I never bought coilovers because theres snow about 6 months out of the year on the ground and the roads are in horrible condition in Butte, tried to avoid constant scrapping.

So, you'll be getting $4860 in modifications, a CA18DET engine you dont have to install or buy + another CA18DET engine (the second engine is a parts engine, it is not in running condition, although wouldnt take much to make it in running condition)-$1750 value easy not including labor, a 5-speed swap you dont have to install or buy-$300, a rebuilt automatic transmission-$400 value, a crap load of extra parts-$?, and of course the car itself which blue books low end at around $1000. DONT MAKE MY MISTAKE by buying all these parts and then paying for some labor! Get the same car at a fraction of the price!
