I'm getting rid of my car, I'm tired of all the troubles it's bringing me and how it can never seem to get fixed. It has body damage, there's three different rims and the tire on each is gone and the engine isn't running right. I've checked everything, replaced o2 sensor, replaced gasket for the turbo inlet and it still doesn't run right. It misfires at idle and while driving, has no power, but still boosts. 'm looking to get $3k, unless you want to drive an untitled car until I pay off the loan.

Engine
-------
SR20DET Red Top
Stock T25 Turbo @ 13psi
AEM Electronic Boost Controller
FMIC, unknown brand
Megan Exhaust Manifold
Megan O2 Dump

Suspension
-----------
Front and Rear Strut Tower supports
Tein coilovers front (unknown type)
Megan coilovers rear (unknown type)

Body
-----
Black
Definitely needs work, fenders and paint

I will post up pics tonight when I get off work. Please contact me here or text me at (951) 375-8904

I just want the car gone, I can't take trades of any type as I need $3k cash to pay off the remaining loan on the car.

I'm located in SoCal, Riverside County. I've uploaded the pics to http://www.sh0ck.com/car/

Dominic, the timing is fine, I've already checked everything.

Bump, the problem is fuel related. Possibly injector or bad fuel pump? Easy fix, just don't have the money right now. Still keeping at $3k firm.

Dropped to $2500, you will not be able to transfer the title until I finish off paying the loan, so good for a track car? Problem seems to be injector number three, but can't guarantee it.

Looks like this car will be good for a parts car. Too much body damage and I'm not too sure if it's just me but in one of the engine bay picture...the passenger side frame looks a little tweaked/torn from being pushed in?

Yeah, it would be best as a parts car. The engine is fine except for that one injector and the body is in bad shape. I'm not sure about frame damage as I bought it that way and the previous owner never mentioned frame damage.

I just replaced the spark plugs this morning, it helped the problem somewhat, but when I rechecked the injectors the problem didn't get worse when number three was pulled off. The injector just seems to randomly not work at idle and not at all under WOT or anything above about 25% throttle.

Dominic - I'm looking to just completely get rid of the whole car at once. If it doesn't sell soon I'll consider parting it out.

Ok, I dropped the price to 2500 to sell it quickly, I didn't expect to be lowballed with an offer of 1700. I need this money to help my parents pay a house payment or we get kicked out, so it's not dropping any lower.

I dunno if this is allowed, one last bump. It's the MAF and a leaky injector, dropping to $2k firm. Probably best for a parts car, needs a smog this year (test only).
