I think its about that time, I'm about to be graduating from college and starting a full time job. I am still having problems with the car and its becoming very time consuming and expensive. I am looking to cut my losses and start saving up for an evo X.
I am the 3rd owner on this car, and the car was almost completely stock when I got it minus the suspension and a blow off valve.
Almost everything I have purchased for the car was bought BRAND NEW, turbo, fmic, ic piping, intake, etc. I have receipts online for almost everything through ExtremePSI. My friend and I have hundreds of work hours into this car and I would really like to see it go to someone who will appreciate it. We spent hours 2 summers ago just repairing rust spots and making it a lot better.

If you need anymore pictures my photo bucket album has hundreds and some videos.
The engine runs pretty good, it needs to be tuned further but it was tuned enough for me to get around to and from Boston several times. I was able to get 25mpg during these trips. It's very smooth and pretty quiet on the highway.
The head was just recently machined to fix a burnt valve, compression is around 170psi across all 4 cylinders. All the timing components were new when assembling the motor.
A/C was just recharged and blows ice cold
There are a few problems with the car right now, it needs to be tuned more so its smoother through the RPM's. The main problem right now is when the car warms up it becomes very hard to put into gear in first. It seems as if 2nd and 3rd are very notchy when shifting when its warm. This just started happening lately.
There is a problem when we initially did the swap where the car will not start by completely turning the key. We could not figure out the problem so I wired in a push start. The push start only works with the key in the ignition in the on position.
The car's paint looked like crap when I got it so I did a temporary solution with rustoleum, it looks good from far way but in some spots it doesn't up close. The rear passengers wheel's paint is chipping but I can fix that before the sale.
I wanted to convert the interior from gray to black and painted the interior plastics with duplicolor vinyl paint. It all looks pretty good but I didn't completely finish, I can finish that too before any sale.
The power steering pump is leaking a bit and probably should be replaced as it makes the belt squeal when the car is cold. I can replace that as well.
I don't care what people have to say about the price, I have way too much money and time invested in this car to take any more of a loss.
I am looking for
$6000 FIRM, you can take pretty much whatever extra I have in my garage in related parts. I'd strongly prefer not to part it out but in a few months if I have to I may.
Any questions let me know.
