Figured I would post up here as well since I know a lot of people on here can do their own work. Not sure if anyone is really looking to upgrade but here it is...taken from EvoM so ask questions if something doesn't make sense.
I am not 100% on this yet, but as of now I want to sell the car and switch to something different.
Here is the backlog, mods are in my signature right now.
I made 420whp/390wtq on a very very low reading dyno, if you don't believe me that is fine, it would be around 500whp/450wtq on a dynojet for reference.
The car is in great condition (minus the motor, getting to that). The car had 26k miles on it when the motor popped last weekend. I am willing to negotiate for the car depending on what mods you want with it etc.
It has the SSS package and aluminum shift knob and e brake. The car had factory installed clear bra and bigger clear bra near the rocker panels to help against paint chips.
Maintenance was up to date, all of it done at a dealer etc etc. Brakes are great, brand new clutch in there with SSP master cylinder, just did it like 2 weeks ago. I have all the stock components that can go with it depending on which pricing tier you pick.
The perfect buyer for this car will be someone who was planning on building a motor anyway in which case you will be getting a hell of a deal.
All the mods and labor into this car are well into the 40's, i think i have about $47k into the car with everything. I honestly just don't want to scrap together the money needed to build it because i would honestly be paying for my mortgage and motor build and nothing else, too much to invest right now.
So here goes, here are the prices I am looking at as of now.
With all mods, brand new rims/tires (2800) stock parts as well - $27.5k
(keep in mind this car has mods on there that would not have to be upgraded until some very high HP levels).
Stock parts back on minus with new wheels/tires - $24k
Stock everything with a blown motor $21k
I honestly owe very little money on the car so that is not why I am asking these prices. If you are truly serious about this car, please PM and we can negotiate if possible.
Here are the pics of what it looked like recently, and some of the motor carnage pics.
I just had a shop quote me for a completely built motor with installation and the car would handle 700whp and that price was 8-9 for everything. So buy this and another 8-9k and you will be able to make some big ass numbers.
A stock motor can be had for like 5 k, or get a ralliart shortblock for 3.5k and swap the X cams in which i have and would include into it and the stock turbo and you are looking at an awesome deal.
You could feasible get this car, the motor would be one with low miles, under 20k (the ralliart one i found for 3.5k has 16k miles) and put the stock X parts on. You would have a stock X with 16k miles on the motor for $24.5k assuming you can do labor.
Ooops, forgot, i had a rust proof coating put on too which was like 800 (including clear bra stuff). So it is winterized. The stock rims have very good 1100 dollar winter tires as well that could be included for the high pricing tier.
Let me know, enough delay, pics!
Connecting rod through the block:
Honestly I had never raced this at the track or anything, most miles were done going to and from work (60 miles a day) it was a very well taken care of car, i just pushed the stock motor too far.
Thanks for looking, feel free to ask questions and I can take more pics if needed. Car is dirty right now though, needs a good wash and the engine bay obviously needs some love to clean the oil, nothing a little elbow grease can't fix to make it shine (aside from the hole in the block
)
