After a long harsh winter of slaving over my car, I have come to the conclusion that I am just plain old bored with the car already and looking for something new. Most of the work is done, just need to wait to finish up a few things after the engine is broken in. I have pics here, http://www.teamfc3s.org/forum/members_cars...otos&car_id=636 , with a few pics of the car and parts. Car is located in Pittsburgh, PA. Anyways enough said here are the specs:

All parts listed below have less than 700 miles on them unless otherwise noted.

Innovate LM-1 with *RPM Convertor

HKS FCD



Exhaust:

Racing Beat Downpipe 2.5" Stainless Steel (with bung for WB senosr)

Racing Beat Midpipe 2.5" Stainless Steel

* MagnaFlow 2.5" Stainless Steel Cat (not on due to RB MP installed)

* Fujita Engineering (FEED) Strut Tower Bar

* SilkRoad Spec RM/A8 coilovers with 8/6kg F/R installed and extra set of 10/8kg F/R ( I have coilover covers in the process of being made)



DriveTrain/Braking:

Exedy Racing Street/Strip Clutch Kit

Corksport Stainless Steel Clutch line

GoodRidge Stainless steel Brake lines

S4 TII wheels (60% thread)

Vert Wheels (2 with 30% tread and 2 with 50% tread)

* MazdaTrix ABS Removal Kit

New Front Brake Rotors (about 2k miles on them)

New Front 4 piston Calipers ( about 2k miles on them)



Exterior:

H4 Headlight Conversion

* RE-Amemiya Type Rear whaletail spoiler

* JDM Power Mirrors

* OEM Mudflaps

S5 Taillights



Interior:

Pioneer 3600 Headunit

Infinity 3.5" and 6.25" Speakers

S5 Radio Surround

MazdaSpeed Leather Shift ****



Others:

Red Painted Calipers

Completely repainted (with Duplicolor underbody spray): underbody, fender wells, lower engine bay (from frame rails down), front cross member, rear subframe, differential housing, halfshafts, driveshaft

Monstor ported wastegate with larger flapper

Slightly polished UIM and LIM with a slight polish of the ports)

A/C pump removed (still have)



All the car needs other then fully boken in and tuned, is a paint job/touch up. It has a few dings (maybe 5) and a slight dent that needs to be pulled (about 3" by 3 inch) some paint chips and the right front fender looked to have been respayed and is spidering (hence new paint).



I am in no rush to sell, because of all the time and money spent on it I am hoping I will get over the boredom. Now for the tough part. I have spent over $16K in upgrades/parts for the car in the last 5 months, not including the labor, or the orginal purchase of the car. So I am not looking to take a huge hit. I am looking to get somewhere around $13,000. I may even decide to remove parts you may not want ( I have all but orginal exhaust and radiator) to lower the cost, for example pretty striped down with most of orginal parts back on for $6500.



Serious inquiries only!!! NO THREAD BASHING WILL BE TOLERATED!! PM or Email me at Sikokillr@aol.com

In the pics I see a wide band O2 sensor, are you selling that? And if so, how much for it? I am interested.

I wish you luck on the sale. From your list of goodies I just see a stock car with minor bolt ons acctually though. You do not mention porting, a retuned ECU or standalone, nor do you mention anything about the turbo. Most of the guys on this forum are guys that do the work themselves, and trying to include all the labor costs in the total price of the car is gonna be a tough sell. You are going to take a bigger hit I am afraid before you sell the car. Try getting a lot more pictures of the work done to the car, rather than the pictures of the new items not installed on the car and load it up on ebay. I appreciate the work that is done to the car, but you are going to have a hard time convincing us that you have $16,000 invested.



Again, Good luck

Thanks!



I know it sounds absurd for a TII, but if you add up everything that is in it its well worth it. Like I even said before I would be willing to remove parts that the buyer would not want to lower the cost..



Oh and for those who care, I will have a list of everything with prices in a day or two, just need to find all my recipts.

Which doesn't include the various nic nacs here and there along the way.
