Hey guys, just letting you know that since I haven't had any bites on selling the car, I am going to part it out to whoever wants to buy anything. Any/everything is for sale on it, the body itself is untitled right now because the bank decided to lose the title. So until I get done jumping through hoops with the California DMV, there is no title for the car. Some of the parts for sale are as follows:

All interior panels- Tan/black dash
Bose audio system
tires/wheels
racing beat dual exhaust & Bonez downpipe/high-flow main cat.
PowerFC without Commander
Greddy air intake
Any engine parts you can think of.
Engine is street-ported and manifolds are ceramic coated w/teflon coat inside

I couldn't find where the fuel leak was coming from, but I don't think it was serious. I just don't have time to fix it since I'm deploying again soon. If any of you want the body of a MB 93 touring, let me know and when the title paperwork gets through, That's being sold too, unless you just want to buy it now and have me give it to you when it gets in. PM me with any interest, prices are negotiable.

I think we can tell which one steve is.
Its not that I dont like drifting its just I dont like the stupid bandwagon wannabe drifters who saw a movie and are all of the sudden OG's and perpetuate the competitons that stray farther and farther away from time trial runs which is where the theory and intentions of drifting lie. A car bringing speed into a corner that rotates only at a NECESSARY angle till the position of its heading will conjoin the best line of attack with-in the cohesion limit of the tires to complete the course in the best time. And here is the kicker..you dont drift EVERY corner and the more sideways you get the more time you are capable of losing. Plus there are no style points on the backroads. Grip is better b/c it means the car is always moving forward but there are times where the car can continue momentum through a corner with a controlled slide. Thats my ideals. Time Attack is a true motorsport, drifting comps are not.
