Haha, I hope you wouldn't think a catastrophic motor failure is sexy.

Well buddy I might have a few deals for you. You saw I posted up my HREs for sale but I'm also going to be selling the car.

Damn, already? What's next?

Thinking about getting a brz... I really like em. As for the viper it needs a new fuel pump I believe and it's not a very good daily driver with the bad gas mileage and minimal space lol It was an impulse buy I'm kinda regretting.

Haha that was you I messaged!? I just flew into Austin on Friday and picked up a '97 red/white GTS with a friend and drove it back to Tampa. I thought about you and your red GTS...no homo. He sold his '03 Procharged SRT-10 and picked up the GTS a week later. Granted it has Konis, HREs, full Belanger exhaust, and only 25k miles...but it made me interested in selling mine for a Gen 2. Or maybe an '08 M5? Not sure. I could just sell and save $600 a month, but it's hard to not have a sports car when most of my friends do. I'm sure once I fix my motor, I'll like my car again. It is 1 of only 16 all black coupes.

I didn't see the screen name, but did notice how low your car was! Haha. I'll probably just end up keeping mine. We shall see.

glad he's alright. Insurance WILL screw him since it appears he rear ended the truck when it cut him off unless he swerved and lost control.

Ubetit · 09-17-2012, 09:20 PM

Any news on the engine?

Yeah. I gave them the go ahead 2 weeks ago. As of Friday, they were buyin parts and grinding the crank. Still no eta on when it will be complete though. The lack of communication between me and the guy who has my car has been quite frustrating. He says he only knows as much as Nelson Competition tells him. He says they are crazy slow, but well worth the wait.

What do you guys think of these? 19"/20" Modulare M15 in all black with brand new Nitto Invos. That's a killer price, considering the wheels alone are over $6k.
