Re: Dave's Evo X Build

glws and all that but I'd personally need a smokin' deal to buy a car and do all that work. As a prospective purchaser I'd assume that if you blew the motor that you've beaten the snot out of the rest of the car as well. Would you buy your car if you were in the market and didn't know the seller?

My suspicion is that if you want to unload the car for a good price that you should drop a stock motor in it/part it out/go to stock.

Me, probably not, the sale is directed at people who do their own work though. Not someone who is going to pay a shop to put a new motor in.

I fully understand what you are saying, but the amount of money to create this car is way higher than what I am asking. I could see some person asking 30k with a blown motor on this car because they invested so much. Obviously they would never sell the damn thing, but even 30k would be a loss.

If i don't get any bites soon, I will have DB put a stock motor back in and the part out will ensue.

It will take longer but I will be able to drive the car for the time being while I am trying to sell at least and then when I sell everything I will be better off than what I would've been selling it for what I am asking now.

Yes, maybe they could think that I beat on the car, but in reality i don't think i did, not the drivetrain anyway, just stressing the engine from so much power. I only launched the car once since I owned it, lol.

We will see how everything unfolds though. Don't assume I am selling yet.
