New thread to reflect the price drop
Last updated March 30, 2008
*WHEW* Just spent close to an hour re-editing all my links and my thread. The car now has Enkei wheels, interior, etc. etc.
ATTENTION potential buyers: Please READ this entire post and LOOK at all the pictures before PM'ing me and asking me any questions. I have consolidated everything to this one post to make things easier for you.
Specs
Body:
208xxx miles on chassis + about ~4500 after the ls1 swap (estimated because I don't have a speedo)
Clean title
Sport model, no sunroof, manual windows, TII brakes, manual rack, lightest of the light.
Both front fenders have been replaced with S5 ones, they are straight and clean, but they are different shades of white vs. the rest of the body.
Front bumper is in good shape, it has been replaced with a clean S4 one. I still have the original one, but it's all chipped up and nasty.
Couple of door dings, driver’s side door looks like someone tried to pry it open with a pry bar, so it’s a bit ugly.
Passenger’s side quarter panel is dented. I was told by one of the previous owners that someone backed into him in a parking lot.
Rear bumper/lights are fine.
Aero package on the driver’s side sags a bit, passenger’s side is fine. Has the little rubber lip on the front bumper still. Sport wing is still on.
Paint still shines nicely. Could use a claybar/wax, but the paint is good for being 20 years old.
Rear fenders have been rolled/pulled.
Interior/Electrical/Etc.:
The car now has a 90% FULL INTERIOR, here are the specs:
This is what's going to be missing from the interior:
Triangle dash vents on each side of the dash
Idiot light surround
Radio surround/ashtray/shifter surround
A and B pillars (I *might* be able to get these)
Roof panel trim
PS window roller (I have a maroon one that I'm using, but it's ugly...)
Here's a breakdown of the interior swap:
Front carpet- Blue
Dash/front plastics- Blue
Door panels- Blue (locks and handle part are still maroon, heh)
Seatbelts- Blue
Rear carpet/bin carpet- Black
Bins- Black
Side carpet- Black
Lower piece of lastic behind the seats- Black
Piece of plastic that connects to the roof area- Black
Floormats- Black
Arm rest- Black
PS seat- still UGLY ass maroon, but the seat itself is pretty damn clean. I have an extra blue seat, but its not in super good shape like this one, but it's not in really bad shape either.
Sound deadening has been taken out. The car is kinda loud inside.
Electrical problems: Wiper switch not connected, turn signals not working, blower motor not working (It might just need a power wire connected to it, because I might have removed it when I did the LS1 swap)
I've also pulled the wires for the heater area to make it easier to access for troubleshooting.
All right, onto the mods and whatnot:
Battery / Charging / Wiring
4 Gauge Grounding Kit
Rewired Fuel Pump
Summit Battery Relocation Kit
51r Honda-size battery
Silverstar headlights (nice and bright)
Brakes
Russell SS Brake Lines
Valvoline Synpower brake fluid
Newer front brake pads
PFC Carbon metallic rear brake pads- Rear
New master
New rotors
Rebuilt 4 piston front brakes
Repacked front hub
Custom brake shields with 3” ports for brake ducts
Cooling
Grannys Aluminum Radiator Kit
Taurus E-fan
Greddy Water Temp Adapter
Flex-a-lite E-fan controller
Dexcool/Distilled Water/Redline Water Wetter
With this current combo, the only time it gets a bit hot is when you’re road racing in the middle of a desert at 100*, and even then, I’ve only gone into the 230 range towards the end of the session.
Drivetrain

Catch Can
Engine Bay Painted Black
Grannys Engine Swap Cradle
LS6 Manifold
Oil Filter Pedistal Tapped For Oil Press/Oil Temp
Reflashed ECU
LS1 Harness Rewired By Dan & Steve
Engine is strong like bull. Has about ~4500 miles on top of the 21k miles it originally had when I first bought it. The rear main seal is leaking though, so that’ll have to be replaced eventually.
Oh, and this motor has seen FIVE track days. I always run 7 quarts and I do smoke a bit when running 7 quarts, but I'd rather smoke than spin a bearing.
I just changed the oil right now(3-28-08)- M1 0w40 and an AC delco filter. I've changed the oil about 7 times now. When I first started it up (duh), before every track day, and just now.

Tires/Wheels- 17x8 +38 Enkei Evo 8 wheels http://www.v8rx7forum.com/images/smilies/smile.gif They're in pretty mint condition with practically brand new 235/45/17 BF Goodrich g-force sports. I also have some Mustang GT 17x8 'Pony' wheels with Kumho V700 Victoracers that I will sell for EXTRA
Price- $9400. As you saw in the mod list, those mods with asterisks are EXTRA and NOT included. As mentioned the car has a clean title. And it is now SMOGGED and REGISTERED. If it sells within 90 days (from 3-18-08) you will NOT have to re-smog it. You can see vs. the old FS thread that I am including some things like the sway bars and camber bar in the $9400 asking price and I lowered the price of the coilovers $100. I will sell it with EVERYTHING for $10,500.
Trades- Looking for an 06-08 Ninja 650R, 08 250R, or any vehicle valued under $4500 or so PLUS cash so I can build an FD...

A side note: As far as the people questioning the driveability of this car everyday, the main killer for me is the stiff suspension. I used to drive this car everyday before I got my FD (roughly 5 months) and I drove it for about 2 weeks straight during December to take my FD down some routine maint. and inspection. You could probably take off the strut tower bars and run the coilovers to full-soft and it'll feel good.
Location- Riverside, Ca 92505. I'm in no big hurry to sell it (My original estimate was about 4-5 months to sell it), so if you want to leave me a deposit (non-refundable, I might add), I'll hold the car for you, but for no more than 3 months. NO TIRE KICKERS, SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY, I will drive the car for test drives and the only time you will be able to drive it is after a deposit has been made. Oh, and don't expect to get a free ridealong to see how 'fast' the car is, I'm not going to bone out. As far as shipping, I was quoted $925 from Ca - Md from LSX transport, they are the on LS1tech and are VERY reputable, fast, etc.

It has *slightly* better traction now. 2nd gear isn't completely useless and I have much more traction in 3rd. I did shoot that primer spot with some auto paint. It's better than a nasty gray patch, IMO.
Here are a few pics and a vid:

Here's a vid at HTM in Dec of '07. HTM is probably the tightest/shortest course in SoCal. Your arms/body hurt after the day is over due to how tight the turns are and how much you have to turn, it's ridiculous!
