[gusisboosted]

Iv'e ALWAYS dreamed of this swap...

[qt_240]

Clean swap.. the link to your pix isnt working.. =/

[Coup D E'Tat]

Thanks, guys.

I fixed the link for the pics.

[BlewByYou]

Great looking car man...

P.s 19k ? :/

[Coup D E'Tat]

While the price is open, you cannot duplicate this car for my current asking price. The front brakes and the rear subframe kit are $6000+ alone, let alone all of the other parts (and time and labor) that are in this car.

Thanks. I lowered the price a bit, and it might hit eBay this week, too.

[OBEEWON]

Trade for my M3!

I'm not sure how serious I am about that.

[Coup D E'Tat]

If you decide you're serious, let me know.

[Coup D E'Tat]

Bump it up.

[Coup D E'Tat]

Bump. Reasonable offers will be considered.

[Coup D E'Tat]

Bump/price drop. I uploaded two videos of the car on a cold start, and then just driving, to show that the car has no idle issues or anything. Again, the audio is crappy, as I'm just taking these with a digital camera. I suggest anyone interested come take a look at it :)

[Coup D E'Tat]

Bump it up! I've had some trade offers, but nothing finalized. I'd prefer to sell outright and save myself some hassle. Feel free to make an offer.

I'm looking for something a bit newer, but thanks.

05.5 audi a4 2.0t?

Pics/info? They seem to sell for a bit less than I'm asking, but shoot me some info anyways.

[sleeper300]

Pm'd............

[Coup D E'Tat]

Still available, and I've dropped the price again. Please PM with with any offers/questions.

Thanks

[alexanderig]

wow dude ive never liked these but with an ls under there you cant go wrong! bump for originality

[ItaliaBrat]

GLWS bro I have lQ9 240 and love the power

[Coup D E'Tat]

Thanks. The torque is definitely amazing.

Someone spend some Christmas money on what you really wanted this year :coold:

[Coup D E'Tat]

Bumpidy.

To clarify further on the trade thing (since I've had some offers,) I'm not a huge fan of red cars, and I'm looking for something more along the lines of a daily-ish car, so no older muscle cars or anything. I'm looking more for an Audi TT (225Q coupe,) EVO, maybe a Boxster, e46 M3, 2G GSX, etc etc. Outside of the EVO I'm not interested in 4-door cars.

[s13fay92]

thats sick, glws!

[jesus_ralliart]

Very cool swap. Must be tough to price something like this I'm sure. Someone will find it awesome though and drop the cash

[Coup D E'Tat]

Yea, it's certainly hard to price, and I'm aware I won't get anywhere what's into the car back out of it. I'm definitely open to negotiations, but I won't give the car away for 11k, either. At that point I'd rather just keep it :)

[Nismo_sam]

So boss! Great car man!

[Coup D E'Tat]

Bump - I've been tinkering around and doing some minor things on the car. I've installed the Whalen bushings in the seats - no more seat slop. I'm still working on it as time allows, just to get some maintenance things done (oil change, wash/wax, etc.)

[S14TEENZ]

This is sick. I can only imagine how this thing moves

[MasonBarnard]

have you posted this on bimmerforums, m3forum, or any other bmw fanatic place...? i feel like it would get alot more attention

[Coup D E'Tat]

I do have it on a variety of forums, but not the M3forum. I will likely put this up on eBay fairly soon if it doesn't sell, since that's where my LS1 Miata sold a while back. I've just been too busy to actually put together a "formal" eBay ad :)

[qt_240]

Just wait till spring!

C'mon! tell us again..

Saw this posted elsewhere, wicked car man.

[Coup D E'Tat]

Pending sale but still in my possession. Back up top.

[Zip_Tyte]

free bump for a fellow LS1 swapped car owner

[future]

More mods have to be done to that engine for that power or dynos. No way a stock early ls is making 500 when it's rated at 325.

Either way glws

[Coup D E'Tat]

I listed it as roughly that amount. Based on numbers with drivetrain loss, it should be ~470BHP I suppose, although I went ahead and removed the number from the ad. Not trying to misrepresent the car, just want it to find a new home ASAP!

[Coup D E'Tat]

Bump. If it's not gone by Friday it will be going up on eBay!

[Jeezy240]

Damn it, I Never comment on anything.

This is one badass car.
Good luck selling it man.

[Coup D E'Tat]

Sold, thanks for the space!

[mbw12194]

whoever you sell this to is a very lucky person! i've dreamed of this swap lol.. glws
