The Bad:
First, this car is currently titled in Wisconsin. Not a bad thing, its easy to sell to Texas. I have no lien on the car so it would be easy to transfer the title.
Second, it does need a little paint on the body kit. The place I had put the paint on the kit didn't do very well and its flaking off in some area's. There's also an easy to fix bump on the rear bumper near the trunk.
Third, this car WILL NOT pass a safety test. It does not have (currently) a drivers seat belt or a horn. It also does not have a catalytic converter. I'm confident that if it did, it would pass the test. There is also the check engine light on from the rear O2 sensor and stuff dealing with the auto-to-5 speed conversion, I just haven't had time to turn the MIL's off. I can do this before (if) it sells.
Fourth, if you are considering this car as a daily driver, I would highly suggest you think twice. This is a reliable car if taken care of and even with 440cc injectors it gets GREAT gas mileage (provided you don't use the turbo that much). That being said, when you do things like I've done to this car (performance mods), breakdowns come with the territory.
Lastly, if I don't get a chance to break in the clutch I would suggest that it gets trailered to the final destination where the clutch can be broken in properly.
The Great:
This car dyno'd at 238whp and 278wtq with a slipping clutch (not the one currently installed) and my boost controller bleeding from 10psi to 7psi. The car now has a new clutch and can hold 10psi at the turbo, so 250whp and 300wtq is not out of the question, on a completely stock engine. This car is FUN to drive.
The Damage:
Asking $6500 or best offer.
