[Metallic36]

Hood will be painted soon, all the appearance stuff comes after building it

Other than the hood... very nice car!! Always had a thing for the titanium! Good luck on selling it.

If I could I would but it's SO nice to not have a car payment, I don't know why anyone would want to buy a car with car payments lol

Sorry for the rant lol

My payment isn't bad, which it really doesn't matter if it sells or not, it would just help my budget some.. but this would be a freaking deal if someone is looking for a car that's already "made." It would save someone money vs. if they bought one that's stock and then decided to mod from there. One person was very interested, but I had a last-minute attachment issue and told him that I wanted to hang on to it until it was finished, and then when I wrote him back about that I would sell now like the day after, he had already bought one that was all stock. But yeah, I love this car, it's my 2nd baby and I know that sounds strange coming from a chick, but I'm attached and if I do sell it I want it to go to someone that can appreciate all the work, time, and money that's been put into it and someone that would take care of it.

Just for the heck of it, here's a list of the costs put into it..

New OEM rebuilt tranny w/ welded LSD: $1,900
Exedy clutch and lightened flywheel: $275
GHL turbo-back exhaust: retails for $1,200+
GT28RS turbo: $850
New head/gasket set along with installing turbo, exhaust: $1,400 (lots of labor $$ FTL)
MAM tubular mani: $800
Engine build/install: $1,300 (just labor)
Engine build, forged pistons/rods, studs, gaskets, etc: $1,500
FMIC custom kit w/ TurboXS RFL bov: ~$480
Ram-air vented functional hood: $450
Greddy EBC & AEM WB: $370
ForceFed Gauge Pod: $72 (yeah, got it around the beginning)

If I think of more, I'll update Grand Total so far: $10,597 put into this car.. NOT including purchase price of the car.

Stuff coming soon:

Corksport Radiator + plate/cover: $345
New a/c condensor: ~$100
Some type of EMS: ~$200-$800
Hood painted: ~$500
