I am getting absolutely sick and tired of this car so I've decided to test the waters to decide if I should sell and start over. The car is located in Connecticut and currently sits as you see it in the pictures below. On to the good stuff..
I bought this car four years ago, bone stock with 115k miles. It now has about 120k on it. It is a base model with zero options. I have taken absolutely meticulous care of this car. It has been garage kept exclusively and never driven past October in the duration of my ownership. Oil has been changed every three months or so (since the way I drive it waiting for 3000 miles would be about three years). That said, it is much further from a mint car than I'd like. The previous owner lived in New York and it shows, it has a number of tiny door dings and paint chips. The front bumper is missing a good amount of paint around where the front plate was mounted. I removed the front plate as soon as I bought it. There is a dent on the driver's side rear corner where the car was backed into a pole. Carfax shows a clean title.
I have used the car pretty much exclusively for autocross. Earlier this season (around April) I blew the headgasket in an event. It has been replaced with an OEM gasket and the stock head bolts were switched with ARP head studs. I changed the plugs/wires/etc. maintanence items at the same time, it now runs good as new.
I have since started doing suspension work on the car. It now sits in my garage on jack stands, the job halfway done. I've been working on it for two months and am getting more and more tempted to get rid of it because of frustration with the car and the complete lack of competence of a number of popular aftermarket part manufacturers. That said, my plans included energy suspension poly bushings everywhere, modified Z32 energy suspension subframe bushings, ground control coilovers on koni shocks all around and whiteline front and rear swaybars. The enery bushings are all in with the exception of the subframe bushings and the konis/ground controls are installed on modified front housings (the lower spring perch is welded about an inch below the stock position to allow for more lowering). The front is all together with the exception of the sway bar which cannot be installed because I wasn't sent all the hardware for the end links. The previous owner also managed to strip the bolt holes for the swaybar D brackets which I have yet to take care of. The rear is still completely apart and the rear swaybar is also missing hardware. I have also replaced a number of standard parts in the process. To summarize:
92 hatch base model
engine:
head gasket, valve cover gasket, and standard maintanence items done 4 months ago
arp head studs
stainless clutch line replacing clutch damper
suspension:
energy suspension poly bushings in all arms
new tie rod ends
new front ball joints
new hardware everywhere the old stuff broke taking it apart (all ordered straight from Nissan)
interior:
momo race steering wheel and hub
JVC mp3 head unit
Infiniti and Pioneer speakers front/back (previous owner installed, that's all the info I have)
not installed:
whiteline front and rear swaybars
z32 subframe bushings
Depending on the offer, how soon the potential buyer wants the car, etc. I can either assemble it with or without those parts or include them in the purchase uninstalled. If you'd like to buy it as it sits (with no rear suspension) you must arrange how you'll get it out of my garage.

I am asking $2500 for the car assembled without the konis/ground controls and steering wheel (stock struts/springs/wheel). If you're interested please post an offer in this thread or PM me. I am also interested in trades, show me what you got :)
Thank you,
