Back up for sale with a huge reduction in price looking to pick up a new toy and I need room in my garage. The chasis has less then 30K miles on it but the motor has less then 10K miles. This has won many awards and has been featured in numerous magazine like Super Street and Turbo magazine. The car has been built with very rare and expensive high quality parts including a JDM Top Secret 3S-GE motor(short block tuned by Top Secret). The car is currently not running that well and it seems like something is wrong in cylinder #3. Compression test results were #1: 110 #2: 110 #3: 100 #4: 110. During idle the car is very shacky and when you give it any throttle the rpm drops to the point of almost turning off. I am not a mechanic so I can't tell you whats wrong with it exactly but the car is being sold as is. Repairing it wont cost you an arm and a leg but it will need some work. I planned on transforming this car from a show car into a track toy but I have decided to go a different route. Pink slip in hand.

The chasis has less then 30K miles on it but the motor has less then 10K miles. This has won many awards and has been featured in numerous magazine like Super Street and Turbo magazine. The car has been built with very rare and expensive high quality parts including a JDM Top Secret 3S-GE motor(short block tuned by Top Secret). The car is currently not running that well and it seems like something is wrong in cylinder #3. Compression test results were #1: 110 #2: 110 #3: 100 #4: 110. Keep in mind compressions are low due to the fact a thicker head gasket was used to lower the compression of the combustion chamber to sustain boost from the turbo. During idle the car is very shacky and when you give it any throttle the rpm drops to the point of almost turning off. I am not a mechanic so I can't tell you whats wrong with it exactly but the car is being sold as is. I planned on transforming this car from a show car into a track toy but I have decided to go a different route. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs and is sold as is.
