selling my seven (hopefully)

basically it comes down to i donot have the energy anymore. so if i can get a reasonable offer, then i am going to sell my seven. and i would definatly rather it go to a good home then some random place. i have some old pics that i will try to get up soon. and if i can get ahold of a digital camera then i can get some new ones.

it is a titanium grey metalic 85 gslse. motor is an 88TII with 89 TII rotors (9.0:1 comp), with a huge streetport, 3mm apex seals. the motor was built with new housings and rotors. it has somewhere around 5k on it. (car has abour 130k). racingbeat light steel flywheel, act clutch and pressure plate. 2 msd 6a's with 3 blaster 2 coils. intake is a weber 48 ida (yes, the motor is running n/a) and the exhaust is racing beat's streetported exhaust.

front suspension has ground control coilovers, camber/caster plates, and tokico adjustables, as well as a custom sway bar and strut tower brace. rear has adjustable shocks as well. wheels are kosei k1's (custom drilled for the se bolt pattern). all four corners have powerslot rotors and hawk hp+ pads.

inside, the interior is black. there are three autometer gauges in place of the stereo (oil temp, oil pressure, and water temp). seats are tan fd seats.

exterior wise, all side markers are shaved off, as well as the door locks (remote entry installed).

overall condition of the car is good. it could use some new rear axels, as well as the carb needs to be tuned (but the thing still pulls like hell), and there are still some bugs to work out of the system. i can go into all of the idiosincriseas (i have no idea how to spell that) with anyone that is interested.

there is lots of random stuff that will come with the car as well (like two car covers, kirkey racing seats if you want them, custom torque engine brace, competition aluminium oil cooler, etc..)

pm me if you want anymore information (i am sure that there is a hell of a lot that i missed here)

i am sorry as well.. i just wish that i could have decided to let her go before i did that motor swap. i would love to see someone pick up where i left off, just not here in santa barabar. it would be to much to see it driving around with out me behind the wheel.

forgot to mention earlier, rear end has a torsen diff.

What kind of price? Does this pass smog, or is it strictly a race car? Is the body straight?

Just out of curiousity what did it take to make the fd seats fit? I have read that it is a very hard conversion on the first gen.

thanks

i am having some problems uploading pictures. there are still more to come

random: the cat pipe will allow it to pass emissions.. you just need to know someone who does not care about visuals.

rotaryrevin: fd seats in a fb is not that hard to do. just need to make some custom brackets.. the fd seat rails are closer together and longer than the fb/fc ones. make a few extensions and you are in buisness.

edit: i uploaded some pictures onto the forum (under my picture gallery). they should be available soon.
