Don't like the price? good for you. I just spent $20k on brand new built engine/trans/wheels for whoever buys this to enjoy. 0 drift events on basically brand new built engine and built trans. 400 miles on engine, 230 miles on the trans and clutch. Ready to go!

This is not your average jank backyard build. My buddy Matt at Insomnia redid everything on the car and no corners were cut, there was no rush, I wanted it done right and to never go back to him. The car went in pretty weak and came out pretty badass.

I'm in a bad mood over one of my other cars and will probably delete this next time I drive it (kinda cold out so not any time soon). I bought the car in March and shipped it from CA to NC, spent an exorbinant amount of time and money revamping the car, and I haven't even gotten to drift or really rag on it yet. This car is has a very well documented build by the original owner and is quite nostalgic to OG s-chassis guys on zilvia and in my NC/VA area.

The old engine was removed (ran fine but scored cylinder fml), got a new block, everything was machined/blueprinted/balanced properly by some guy who builds winston cup engines or some shit like that. Eveeeeeeeerything was bought new from GM or through TSP or another reputable source. My mechanic wouldn't take my projects for years cause i'm "too cheap" and it got the point where he was telling me I was buying stuff i "don't need" to replace. I went the extra mile, rather spend a little (or a lot) extra and have peace of mind than cheap out and blow a built engine.

After I got the engine running and was breaking it in, the trans went out. Off it went to Tick Performance for a stage 2 build and some other extra odds and ends were replaced for good measure, call it a stage 2+. I also ordered a new clutch/flywheel/slave cylinder kit at that time which was personally recommended to me by Steve, the owner of Monster, saying it should last at least a few seasons.

Suspension and undercarriage was gone through. Replaced an axle, wheel bearing or two, tie rods, etc. Everything is solid and ready to go. I personally don't like the coilover specs but was gonna ride it out for the interim.

Interior is stripped as shit. This is not a street car. It has headlights, turn signals, and power windows...that's about it. No climate control, stereo, wipers, anything. Drift kor.

Car has been street tuned. It is running EXTREMELY conservative timing as of now, and I don't wanna say it makes 400 but it doesn't make 350 either. As it sits you could probably squeeze a healthy 420+ out of it, more if you did e85 or meth, and the compression ratio is still boost/spray friendly if you wanted to really make power. Everything is rated for 800+tq....git r dun. I haven't really gotten on it yet but dicking around with partial throttle i feel like it's a tesla, instant torque. I am happy with my big baby cam choice, if you changed it you could easily make another 20-50+whp.

Anyways, mod list. There are things missing.

12 years does a lot. You inspired me indirectly, I was thinking about you the other day lol. Next time i'm in the bay i'll have to holler. I'm in CA all the time for work now, might actually move back in Feb.

I've drifted a few events. I usually just go hang out.

Knoop sold it to a dude who was really cool but didn't know much, suspension was all whack, engine was pretty haggard...idk. Wasn't a total loss but i'd normally not take on something that needs that much work. It was half impulse and all ignoranc

Car looks great! Good luck with sale! Your price is your price and people should respect it. There's an ass for every seat and someone will buy it.

There's always that prick who once saw a salvage s13 coupe with a junkyard lq9 and beat z32 trans sell for $8k and thinks mine is somehow comparable. This car is built right and has a brand spanking new built engine and trans waiting to get mercilessly beat on for thousands of miles. I see that as a major perk for anyone in the market. I have a few things I noticed I missed in the ad that ill update later
