I'd like to see some pictures as well. You can email them to me @ mikeflynn@nitroussupply.com. Also, why can't you bring the car with you to CA? I ask because that's where I am, So Cal specifically.

To many other toys to bring is what it amounts to. It passed AZ smog testing just fine. I guess it would pass CA testing...

Pics about to be posted.

I'm interested in it, but I'd like you to give us/me a rundown of the known good/bad things about the car. I can see there are at minimum some paint issues with the hood and the driver's side quarter panel, but could you elaborate? I don't mean to be a PITA, but I just want to know what I might be getting myself into, as this will need to be my DD till the GLH is a little further along. BTW, thanks for the pictures.

The hood was keyed a month after I got to Tucson. I didnt even know anyone to piss them off yet. Probably just a kid with to much time on his hands. I sanded it and sprayed it flat black. Similar issue with the right rear quarter. A drunk backed into the car when I worked at a bar. I sanded it and sprayed it flat black. Not as noticeable in the pictures are slight dents in the front fenders on both sides where someone leaned on the car. I think that will come out with paintless dent repair. The headliner and visors need attention but it doesnt sag to a point where it hits your head and drives you crazy. That is a silver dollar size spot on the rear spoiler where the paint has come off. All power options work. AC needs freon and is stuck on defrost. I swapped the selector panel to try to get it to move off defrost but that didnt work. I think a new engine harness would do wonders for the car. I know Cindy told me she had one in good shape. Every once in a blue moon the injector harness will act up and I have to pop the hood and reseat it. No oil leaks at all. Tranny is fine. New BF Goodrich Tires, new Optima battery, always run Mobil1. I have over $15K in the car. I would drive it anywhere without hesitation. But if someone would put a little more in the car it would be damn fast. Just need some slicks to get the 60' times down!

In the past 3 years the car has had

T3/T4 Turbo
Wastegate Actuator
RFL BOV
Aluminum IC Piping
Front Mount IC
3bar MAP
+40s
Accufab AFPR
Walboro intank fuel pump
2.5" swing valve assembly
3" exhaust
Stage 4 FWDP cal
Magnecor 10mm wires
Clutchmasters Stage 3 clutch
Greddy Profec-B boost controller
Boost/Air-Fuel/Intake Temp guages
B&M short throw shifter
Goodrich SS Brake Lines
Koni Adjustables
Eibach Springs
Strut Tie Bar
Lower Panhard Bar
MLS Head Gasket
ARP fasteners
Various sensors/coil/etc.

Car also has a JVC head unit
Door Speakers
Amp and Sub

Spare set of snowflakes
stock Cal
extra instrument clusters
the data center
service manuals
timing belt tensioning tool

I am sure there is more I am forgetting

Put gas in it and drive it or pull out the CC and do some more upgrades...either way, the car is ready.

I think so. I am sure it will pull a low 13 with slicks. All that is needed is about a 1.8 60' time. Figure 1 tenth in the 60' is about 2 tenths at the end. That would be a 1.6sec cut off that 14.8 time. Looks like a 13.2. The cosmetic imperfections are minimal in comparison to the drivetrain stuff. I dare anyone to find a Spirit R/T and get it to 103mph in the 1/4 off the bottle for $3250. Hell...you cant find a decent running TIII car for that money! Thanks for the bump!:clap:

ALL the parts, hehe. it would cost thousands for someone to put all that stuff on a stock r/t. im thinking this is a GOOD deal. wish i could justify it but my car count is at an even dozen, i.e. crisis level so no way right now :(

Thanks Vigo. I wish my heart was still in it. If someone would do a rebuild just due to mileage (around 150K but compression still is 135 across all 4), throw some Lone Wolf cams and cam gears in it, a newer Cal, maybe a new gen. turbo (although not necessary) and a limited slip it would do 12s all day on slicks I am sure. I think with slicks and some tuning right now it might grab a high 12 especially down at sea level. Oh well...I am hoping someone on one of the forums buys so I dont have to list it in the autotrader and sell it to some dummy that doesnt know what he is getting.

Yup, here I've got it here in SoCal now. Unfortunately the turbo decided to die a few weeks ago, been sitting while I pick at it when I have time after work. Luckily a buddy of mine had a similar (little smaller) T3/T4 hybrid that he sold me to replace the dead unit. So, it should be back up and running, hopefully in time for the 27th.
