wow, i'm bummed by this news. Havent been on the forum much lately and I came back to find you sold your car.. and all that time to collect great pieces are being parted out 
I wish I knew earlier on.. I would've bought your wheels :P
but it's understandable having 4x 2 seater cars does occupy quite a bit of impractical space. what happened to the S2K?
i'm glad to see the Exige you got is super clean. It's a fun and nice looking ride. most of all congrats on the engagement.

This was a nice show car fellas but the hard part of building a car is the engine, turbo and tuning etc....
If I had a need for a wide body car and could handle the color I would of taken this the car the rest of way but the last thing I need are fatter tires, more brakes, more power, more this or more that. This car is fast enough with 275 or 285 tires on it when driven properly.
Anywho for those who think I detroyed/killed a great car I'm sorry for your loss. For those that are happy to get some good parts well thanks for the business

I like to think of myself as a good parts supplier and if you need something please don't hesitate to ask.

Its just so sad to see that thing stripped apart and pieced out.

Folks, ONE LAST HURRAH (at least).
Import Tuner, October 2012. Can't miss it
And Fritz, you didn't like the color?!? It takes some getting used to, but I loved it.

Any of those wild colors are usually a love or hate thing and in my case I'm not a fan of purple in any shade. If there was a car though that looked good dressed in purple it was yours
Again thanks for the deal and making the transaction so incredably easy it was one of the very best car buying experiences I've had and I've had a few
The parts found good homes and hopefully the chassis will as well which by the way was one of the better wide body jobs I've seen so it should make someone happy.
PS The rear end is in my car and I can't wait to give it a try on track.

I was able to snag 2 copies of the magazine myself...hopefully they restock because I owe some people a copy. I'm pretty happy with the article, it came out a lot better than my last spread for my Honda Prelude back in 2005. Fritz, you made it real easy for me as well - particularly since I was trying to juggle the photoshoot, and my other car purchase. And I sort of had some peculiar fun in trying to figure out how to fit all the spare parts into the car hahaha.
The diff and final drive was probably one of the favorite things I did to the car. Let me know how you like it! I'm running their clutch on the daily driver (350z), and I love the quality of Carbonetic products.

@Dom, we'll keep that in mind if we decide to sell the rims on the car.
So, the free article is posted on import tuner's website now. Higher quality pics!
Woohoo.
