Carbon Fiber Hood OEM style
OEM cig lighter disabled, hard wired a 2 plug power inverter into the glove box, I used it for running my carputer/laptop , you can use it for anything with a regular cord you wanna use in your car (400W peak I believe) kill switch for power inverter wired by drivers feet.

The Good:
no rust, very clean, well taken care of, body is in great shape.
tires have less then 4K on them


The Bad:
headliner and sunvisors didn't like the dye, need to be replaced (old ones still included)
Alarm doesn't make a noise, I use it for locking/unlocking and remote start.
Over Drive switch is broke, I have it taped down.
power antenna is broke, I listen to my ipod, never noticed.

I am looking for a OEM shifter switch for the OD, I can wire a toggle switch at buyers request (free). I plan on replacing the antenna as well. Warranty is up on the alarm and shop wants $150 to look at it, I don't feel its worth the money considering how cheap I am letting this car go for.


Asking $5,000 with the built block and all the other extras, I can have the motor installed for about 1K but Id prefer the buyer take care of all that. If the buyer wants, I remove and destroy the fog lights. Carbon Fiber hood isn't here yet, a fellow 2GNTer is shipping it now, even though I'm getting rid of my car (just spent $450 on that).

Im willing to separate
car 2000,turbo kit 1600, engine 1550
combos: car and turbo 3500, car and engine 3450, turbo and engine 3000


I prefer local pick up, but if the seller needs it shipped, then they need to take care of the shipping arrangement. I will help how ever I can. I have Clean Clear title in hand.

PIX: (more can be emailed as per your request, I just don't wanna bombard this thread with them)

How do you go from rebuilding the block for more boost and planning to install MS to just all the sudden wanting to sell? Frustrated? or something?

Time constraints mainly, and to unlock the true potential of this car, a 5 speed swap must be done and I don't think thats something I can pull off and no one wants to help. If I could put a 5 speed in it for practically free I'd keep it, prolly. Also, there is a GSX with a 2.3 for sale for 12K and I cant afford to own both cars, and at this point I'd rather have a MTX AWD


as for being in maryland, I actually am staying in MD (elkton, md 21921) right near the MD/DE line. If anyone wants to test drive, just post/pm/email/call/aim/etc no joy ride though.

I <3 my car and hate to see it go and if I cant sell the turbo for 1500, the engine for 1500 and the car for 2K I'll prolly throw a tarp over it and let it collect dust till I have a kid and that kid turns 16, heh

The five speed swap isn't as hard as you think it would be. You just need to have all the parts ready to go and the ability to pull the motor. Sorry for the highjack. I'll let you be now.

did I mention power windows and power locks? honestly, the black leather seats dont get THAT hot in the summer. if the engine gets sold separate I only want 3500 for the car, if the turbo sells separate of the car (in addition to the motor) then I only want $1,999 a bargin imo

yes. the "service engine soon" light is the "check engine" light
I pushed the resistor back into place and taped it there, the CEL is gone (it was only on because I removed the EGR system).

I had to edit my post, I didn't mention that even though the built engine isn't installed in the car, the stock engine still is, so you're getting 2 complete long block, the stock one in the car and the built one strapped to a palette (palette optional)

the car is completely drivable and passed inspection for new tags back in March / April.
