WARNING:racerx2k1 has made it VERY clear that anyone who shits on my thread will be banned from the marketplace. PM me if you want, but bashing my thread will only get you banned.
As the title says this car is for sale. I'm moving across the country and I need a new car for when I get there. I'd like to sell this car and pickup an NSX or an M3 when I get there...willing to trade+cash for these as well. Possibly other cars...PM me if you have something.
Asking price: This price was listed at 18.5k for a long time on this forum. It was admittedly a bit high, but I was in absolutely no hurry to sell the car as I love it. Since I'm moving in 2 weeks and I'm in a hurry to sell I'm listing it at 14k OBO. I've turned down higher offers than that in the past, so that's more than fair.
History on this car:
I bought this car from a member here in early June for $15,000 dollars. Since then, I've spent over $7000+ dollars making this car absolutely perfect. It is very fast, very reliable(took it on a 10 hour drive no problems), and absolutely daily driveable. I drive it to work every day 60 miles no problems
This car was built from the ground up to be a perfect daily driver with supercar killer performance, and I have done absolutely everything imaginable to make it damn near perfect. As you read through the mods below, you'll see that EVERY aspect of this car has been given attention to.
Every common failure in these cars has been addressed, and already replaced BEFORE failure, so you can rest assured that nothing will need to be done for quite some time.
New Pics are up! Zip ties you see in pic are temp supports for the bumper since it's cracked. When it got new tires it got caught on the lift and ripped the bumper a little. I was quoted around 100-200 to repair it.
And yes, she's dirty in these pics. I just paid 100 bucks to get it detailed, so maybe I'll take some photos if I get a chance.

FAQ From My Other Thread
OMG. Your bumper is cracked why don't you fix it?!
If I was keeping the car I would fix it. I'm not and it's not really noticeable in person so it stays as is. The zip ties are there for extra support until it's fixed.
OMG. You spent $1500 on wiring?!
Yes. Good wiring is expensive. This car wasn't built in Bubba's backyard so don't compare my costs to his.
OMG. You have sportmaxx wheels?!
Yes. They came on the car and I happen to like the way they look. If you want to blow your money on more expensive wheels your more than welcome to buy my car and put them on there.
OMG. Those aren't Silvia seats!
Actually, yes they are. They are S14 Silvia seats, but the SILVIA was airbrushed in.
OMG. How do you stop with those brakes?
The same way you stop with any other brakes. Let off the gas and push the middle pedal down.
How big is the "massive" intercooler?
I haven't measured, but it looks to be around 3-4" deep, and it takes up the the entire opening in the bumper as you can see in the pic.
