Long time lurker here, even longer rotor head. Nervousness about buying understandable, feel free to ask about me at Ground Zero Motorsports or Pineapple racing, Kyle from GZ can vouch for me and for the car. Car is in Beaverton Oregon.





I'm selling the car I had bought for myself after coming home from Afghanistan. It's a heavily modified white TII, and makes a little over 260hp at the wheels running 8PSI, I have the dyno printout, but not scanned. She is exceedingly fast. To be honest, I'm only selling because my daily driver bent a rod (goddamn pistons) and I need the money for an engine swap.



In addition to all the work done prior to me buying the car, since I've been home I've had a full dyno tune done after re-fitting the entire fuel system (pump to injectors, parts list and receipts availible, all work done at Ground Zero Motorsports). Also just installed a new thermostat, Fluidyne radiator, and Samco coolant hoses. This is a list of all work done on the car before I received her -



3 mm apex seals, full T4 ball bearing Turbonetics turbo, Spearco front mount intercooler, turbo XS RFL blow off valve, Sparco seats, Sparco harnesses, Sparco steering wheel, Apexi SAFC, Apexi AVCR, polished upper and lower manifolds, Sparco Carbonfiber Pedals, Autometer boost guage and water temp guage, Greddy full turbo timer,full 3-1/2 exhaust from turbo to back , fully ajustable suspension front and back, Cusco cage, Border front bumber



Engine was built at pineapple under the previous owner about 15k miles ago, where it received a bridge port, which can definitely be felt when driving around town. I'd love to see her go to a good owner.



That's the good. Being perfectly up front here, I absolutely wouldn't call this car finished. She needs meatier tires (running stock alloys right now), and a standalone ECU. Neither upgrades are cheap. Because the SAFC doesn't care for negative pressure, the engine burps just a bit right before boost, but nothing serious.



Furthermore, while I see it as a good thing, all the rear carpeting was ripped out, the bare metal has been coated, but it's a bit spartan for some people's taste. The seats aren't perfect, some stains, and some stains on the door carpeting, as well as the floor. The rear bumper took a hit when my mother (bless her heart) accidentally rear ended me in the driveway. Bumper itself is fine but the paint is chipped off in places.



I bought this car to be fast and it is, it handles well, and it's a blast to drive. However, I really need my driver up and running, like yesterday, so she has to go.



I'm asking 8000 for it, but feel free to make reasonable offers.

Haha, I'll look into it. I was rather hoping the list of engine mods would do more to attract buyers. Some new pictures -

I always do, but thank you for the advice. To be honest, I don't want to put any more money into her, my driver needs it a lot more. Seriously guys, I need this thing to do, very agreeable to negotiation. Make me an offer.
