    Selling or Wanted Price: 2000 obo

    I am looking at selling my turbo k car, I have done all the work myself on this car. I bought this car in 2005 from the original owners. Have tons of documentation on all the work done/ parts purchased. Originally 2.2 tbi, auto, currently has a low mileage 2.2 Turbo T4 VNT Common Block motor, the best and last year of the intercooled 2.2 turbo, extremely hard to find motor especially in one piece. Bought from a friend in millstone nj, motor was still linked to original 5 spd trans which had the original clutch, still good, date coded from 1989... Motor was not beat on. 120k on bottom end and the cylinder walls still had crosshatching, head sent to Bitner Automotive for 5 angle valve job, port and polished bowls. Have receipt for over 500 on head alone. Mopar performance 006 headgasket, Victor Reinz head bolts, rebuilt t2 garrett turbo, 3" turbos unleashed swingvalve, 3" downpipe, full 3" exhaust no cat cherry bomb glasspack exiting rear of car. Has the rare 1987 only ported polished two piece long runner intake manifold, in original wrinkle black, afpr, walbro 255lph in-tank, ported t2 exhaust manifold, painted engine block in gloss black, valve cover hemi orange, greddy type s bov, huge polished front mount intercooler, new thermostat, radiator, greddy oil catch can, auto trans was rebuilt by joes hamilton transmission about 2 years ago, 1600 alone, have receipt also. Custom diamond headlights with 10k hids, sitting on koni fully adjustable coil overs in the front and drop springs in rear. 17" srt4 rims with 2 new kumhos up front, new rear wheel cylinders, front brakes need to be done and bled but have included complete 4 wheel disc brake swap for car. Triple gauge pod boost air fuel oil press autometer tach grant gt steering wheel carbon fiber vinyl dash manual windows and locks manual steering power brakes oogah horn pa system battery relocated to trunk originally ac car has ac delete bracket have compressor included dodge 600 taillights jvc kdhdr1 head unit aftermarket speakers. Have a ton of pictures, videos, also a ton of parts for turbo dodges, will include it all. Car is currently running 14 psi with a mbc, have fwd performance stage 5 ecu to run 18-20 psi, just need mopar performance +40% injectors and gm 3 bar map. Just did a fresh oil change today 4-5-12 with Mobil 1 synthetic 10W30 and Mopar oil filter. Body has 147k. All in all in great shape for a 23 year old car.

    Car needs:
    -Brake light stays on because pedal pressure is low, bought new rear wheel cylinders and only installed/bled one, one more needs to be done. Or just swap 4 wheel disc setup and be done.
    -Drive belt squeels. Needs to be tightened, belt is brand new and is not bad.
    -Needs to be fine tuned. I would start with swapping +40s, 3bar map and stage 5 ecu and go from there. Fuel pressure needs to be fine tuned, could use a wideband a/f monitor, etc.

    My life unfortunately doesn't allow me the time i need to tinker around with it anymore, and I hate to see it sitting in the street, so I would like it to go to someone who can appreciate it. Turns heads everywhere. I am asking 2000, if you are interested please contact me. There's at least 2k in PARTS alone as it sits.

    For more info call or text Nick 609 439 6077

    Possibly interested in trades, prefer manual transmission, let me know what you got.

    Dropping this thing to 2k, it needs to go by the end of the month. Either in one piece or parted out. I've had years of fun with it and now its time for someone else to enjoy it

    Just a "sales tip" here. Glancing into the thread, like I was casually interested, the immediate impression of the car is "junky" due to the missing radiator grille. Squinting at the pics, I can tell it's actually quite nice... some people are in too much of a hurry to pick over them though, so if you put up more pics of it's good features, to assuage the "junky" first impression, I'm sure someone would be happy to pay your asking price.
    DD1: '02 T&C Ltd, 3.8 AWD. DD2: '15 Versa Note SV, replacing.. DDx: '14 Versa Note SV << freshly killded :( ....... Projects: '88 Voyager 3.0, Auto with shift kit, timing advance, walker sound FX muffler on 15" pumpers wrapped in 215/65/R15 H rated Nexens.... and a '95 phord escort wagon PnP head << Both may need to go :( ..... I like 3.0s ... so??? ... stop looking at me like I've got two heads!

    Yeah, same feeling here. Stock grille will go a long way to make it look nicer.

    Ok I guess I gotta give this freaking car away to sell it. $1700 come take it, with $500 worth of parts sitting in boxes in my garage. You can't go wrong.

    Could use another car, too bad you're not closer. Would it make the trip to Cali without issues?
