!!!SOLD!!!
I appreciate everybody's praise and positive reflection about the car. The car has officially been sold and I'll be seeing it for the last time when it's shipped away. Feels like I'm abandoning my child but even children grow up and move out.
*** UPDATE #2 ***
More pictures.... dont mind all the white buffing compound

*** UPDATE ***
Previously the engine was boost and rev restricted due to the single walbro fuel pump. Although still quick, I had the limiter set to 6000rpm and the boost set to 14psi. I have now changed the entire fuel system. The new system is capable of supporting over 750hp. I personally designed and machined a billet dual fuel pump hanger and got 2 new Walbro HP fuel pumps. In addition to the dual pumps and hanger, all new braided fuel lines were ran from the tank to the engine, along with a new high capacity 5" billet Fuelab filter. Dual -6AN feed lines to the new -8AN filter and a new -8AN inlet on the rail. Each pump has its own 40amp relay and they are fused. I have adjusted the fuel maps on the Haltech accordingly to compensate for the much higher fuel flow. Below are pictures of the new setup:

The rev limiter has been raised back to the factory 7000rpm and the boost turned up to 16psi.
I have also spent far too much time wet sanding and buffing the body of the car. I am not 100% done but the clear coat is now very smooth and looks much better in person, the color now has a deeper look to it.
Since I listed the car initially I have turned down over 20 offers mostly because I was not motivated to sell the car. Now that I have spent another $1500 and 100+ hours on misc things I am ready to let the car go. I will consider all reasonable offers. Somebody give this car a new home before I get any bright ideas like doing a compound FI setup.

The time has come to start looking for a buyer for my baby. As much as it hurts me it post this, having owned the for over 7 years, its time to move on. I have invested far too much money, and an ungodly about of time into this car. I built the car with the intention of using it for competitive drifting. But after spending so much money and time on it, the mere thought of crashing it in competition was something I could not live with.
Due to the nature of this car and its unique color, and the price, I understand that market for this type of car is limited. I will give a brief overview of the car and if anybody is seriously interested they can contact me for further information.
I built this car to stand out, to be fun, and to be reliable. That is exactly what it is. The amount of positive attention this car gets on the street is insane. Everywhere I go, every gas station, any restaurant, parking lot, car meet etc... the car draws a crowd. People of all ages, race, and gender, pull out their camera/phones and take pictures on the highway, ask me questions and give praise. I have been pulled over by authorities just so they check out the car.

For those who are interested, you can follow portions of the build and tons of pictures here:
D-Town :: View topic - For those who may be curious... (http://d-town.us/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4669)
As you will see from the build thread, I have changed setups so many times even before driving the car, nothing is ever good enough for me.
I built this car 100% with my own hands. There is not a single person who has laid hands on the car during the build but me. I know the car inside and out and know how everything was done. The car was completely stock when I purchased it 7 years ago. It has a CLEAN registered title, no rust, and has never been in an accident. I never drive the car in the rain and it is stored in the winter. If you know somebody who knows somebody, do me a favor and spread the word. I'd like to find the right buyer for the car.
There is so much behind this car I cannot tell it all here. As many of you who build cars know, its never "done". This car is not "done" finished, or complete. There is always something more you can do, change or make better. But I am done and will leave it up a new owner to take the car to the next level. The car is not perfect by any means, but it is a blast to drive and gets attention like no other. The engine produces over 400whp with a very conservative tune and low boost pressure. I can change the timing maps, raise the rev limiter and it will make 500whp.
I will consider trades/ trades + cash for something nice. Im not looking for another 240 (unless you have an S15). G35's, Evo's, Supra etc... It must be RELIABLE, and preferably stock. I am also interested in 1000cc bikes. In particular an 07+ R1 but i will entertain all liter bikes. Let me know what you have and we'll talk.
As always, if you don't like the price, and im sure many of you wont. Please keep it to yourself, and be respectful.
