I'm starting to debate whether its worth keeping a modified car or not. As some of you know, my charging system just stopped working and I had to be towed home today. I'm full of frustration and all I can think about is wanting a new car. I ordered a part that I think will fix my problem but I don't think its going to work. I just want to see if anyone would want anything off my car if I did part out and return to stock. Nothing is set in stone and if the part does fix my problem I will most likely keep everything. Off the top of my head, I'll list what might be for sale in the near future.

Tein SS coilovers
GT Spec 4 pt trunk setup
17" rims
Turbo kit
xdrilled/slotted rotors
damaged dg cf lip
damaged cf hood
autoexe style grill
hks carbon ti muffler
cusco front strut bar
roof rack fillers
Black Racing lugnuts

Theres probably more but thats the major things I can think of.
 
If the GT Spec trunk set up was in any way compatible with the sedan I'd be interested in which ever parts would work.
 
interested in:
gt spec
tein

dude, i know you are frustrated... ive made threads like this before. i hope it just blows over...

if not, if u ever need help going back to stock, ill be happy to help you with whatever u need.

take care bro
peace
 
oh snap a turbo kit!!! I'm having second thoughts about my car now...
I'm actually interested in quite a few things from your car:
Teins
Lip
Grill
Hood
Turbo Kit

keep us posted on the status w/ your car.

Peace

WHAT THE HELL!!! I'm gone for 4 days on a trip and I come back to here this!!! :( Damn Jarrett I knew that your car was giving you problems but I thought that the part you ordered was going to fix the problem. Well let me know if I can help you in any way. And trust me I know your frustration..... :D

I have the part and now its just a matter of installing and jumping the engine. If this doesn't work, I'm going to try get a quote on the repair costs and I'll determine from there what to do. I hate to give up but its hard trying to fix something when you don't know the cause of it.

I already got the bluebook value of my car and it looks like everything on my car would be no problem to get rid of. I really don't wanna ditch out on this but I guess we'll see what happens. I'd rather pay to fix the problem than have car payments for the next couple of years so lets hope for the best...
 
i feel the fustration dude. my eclipse was down for 4 months because of some electrical problem... which i still haven't figured out (smash) , just ended up bypassing the starting system so i could get the damn thing running.
hope everything works out for you, whichever way it may go.
 
Well whatever decision you make you know I got yo' back! Keep me updated.

i want the gt stuff and the rotors and the lugs.its a good and bad thing putting your back to stock.
 
Heres an update...so far I changed my IAT sensor, alternator, and battery. I checked all my fuses today and everything was fine. I'm out of ideas and my car is going to the repair shop tomorrow.

After thinking about how much I love the car, I decided to just part it out but probably keep it as a stock car. Once the car gets out of the shop, I will probably take a day to put all stock parts back on and then I can actually start selling it. But so far I think everything I listed has been called dibs on so far so thats a plus.

As for the hood, the damage most of you have probably seen but it has started to oxidize pretty heavily. My friend said he can take it all off so before I sell it, it should be in decent shape. As for the lip, I'll take a pic and post it up asap. Its just a little battle damage.
 
me too.....and LOTS OF IT!!!...hehehe...lol..just kidding around chris. Jarrett, I'll take the lip, grill, hood and teins...and i'm interested in the and turbo kit.

peace
