i requested it..
i made a lil video of how loud my car is.. i'm thinking of re-doing the exhaust and adding another resonator.. it sounds amazing but it's just way too loud.

but working 2 jobs and paying for school has left me far short of your asking price.....

I know... somethimes it gets just that bit too much but once you settle down again and think of the feeling when you drive the car, you don't want to sell it after all :-)

Just a small update..
i didnt sell the car, lot's of offers and lots of trades but at the end i just have too much time and money invested into the car that is not worth getting rid of it.
on another note i fixed the voltage issue that i was having i guess the optima battery went bad after the car sitting for a couple of months. got a new reg battery and everything works great.
i also decided to re-weight the car just for the hell of it.. it weight 2950
and here's a picture of a red lsx swap FD that my friend did a corner scaling a few wks a go..
and here's a picture of the retro fit trans-am dash in the fd
cool, huh?
i also decided to go a different route with the car. i'm planning on changing the seats and going with a smaller turbo like a 72mm or a 76mm not sure what yet but let's just say i'm planning on tracking the car.

Was about to talk a friend with money to buy it and hold it while I get cash and pay him back. He owned me a favor anyway. Guess I ran out of time. LOL!
With that much money invested in it though, you made the right choice in keeping it. Had it not popped up on ebay I would've made a project car out of my brothers FD. Well, back to fixing his flooded 13b...
That bridgeport 20b sounds ridiculously hot! Damn, your car makes me want to get rid of his 13b and putting a bridge ported 20b in.

Question to the guy who owns the car. I have a 20b in an fd and i am having problems with the car wondering in the road as a result of bump steer. the car also looses the alignment soon after being aligned. have u encountered any similar problems and if so how did you rectify. We are using the hinson 20b sub-frame and bump steer kit.
Thanks a lot

It is a nice Ebay ad. Though, as I have sold quite a few cars, your price is a bit unrealistic. You want 72% of the original cars price and all mods. After-market parts unfortunately don't have a very good resale value. You never get a return on any labor. The hardest part about selling heavily modified cars is no one can get loans for them. The bank checks the cars worth on the books just by base model, age, mileage and title status / accidents. They will not give anyone $50k to buy a car that on their computer says is worth $10k.
Hopefully some rich guy with cash see's it and says, "I gotta have it!". Good luck with the sale.

I have owned and sold a lot of modified cars as well, and i've seen stock body/ transmission/rear end 20b FD's go for 35k or around that range.. I know things a little rough out there but my price is "50k or BEST OFFER" if a person out there wants it im sure they will make the right offer.
I dont want this thread to turn into "how much my car is worth" thread so please dont stir things up.. thanks
