Ok guys, you all knew it was coming. The pile is for sale. She's been very good to me and I can't say that there is really anything wrong with the car. But, I've already bought the replacement Talon and I just wanted to keep this long enough for Lindsey to take it out on track so that she would become fully addicted(read: last weekend was a success ). I would prefer that this car stays in MM, but I can sell it to anybody without looking back. I have an extremely detailed record (including mileage and date) of everything that has happened with the car since I've bought it, as well as numerous receipts and a Factory Service Manual on CD. Without further ado....
$3500 firm
The Bad\
-the exhaust hits the tow hook. has become more apparent since installing the header, I'm going to try to remedy this soon
-passenger side has a black body, green door, and blue mirror (door requires a seperate key since came from a different car)
-front end has been backed into
-interior has been stripped
-no AC or emissions components are left
-erratic idle
-I removed the intake butterflies when I put the new(er) engine in; car lost some power as a result. I have a spare manifold that can be installed to remedy this.
-152,000 miles means it is not in perfect condition. Don't expect a showcar. Most/all of you have seen the car.

The Good
-1992 300zx TT brakes on all 4 corners with SS braided lines, Superblue brake fluid, and Axxis Ultimates pads. Also comes with stock pads
-comes with an extra set of TT 300zx wheels with fairly fresh Fuzion ZRi tires (225/50/16 front and 245/45/16 rear)
-complete 5-lug conversion using z32 hubs and S14 silvia spindles
-Pacesetter header leading into a 2.5" exhaust, no cat
-KYB AGX shocks with TIEN S-tech springs
-1995 J30 LSD
-USDM sliding seatbelts have been retrofitted to Canadian fixed seatbelts like in nearly every car on the road.
-S14 240sx seats (much better lateral support and better quality fabric)
-Pioneer head unit with box and all literature
-comes with a 300zx TT Brake master cylinder but not installed (larger bore will give better pedal feel)
-Centerforce dual friction clutch (will come with original clutch that I replaced and is not entirely dead)
-car weighs 2677 lbs
-I installed a new(er) engine last spring that came from a 1993 240. This will come with the 1991 cams that came with the original engine; these cams are slightly better than any other year offered from Nissan (according to Rex these are marketed as the Nismo cams now)
-bunch of extra little parts as well
-in the past year it has gotten a new O2 sensor, battery, starter, rear main seal, driver front strut, spark plugs and wires, and windshield wipers. I drive it every day and the only prep I have to do for an autoX or track event is a quick look over to make sure nothing is dangling, loose, or blown; I've put nearly 1000 miles of hard track/autoX laps on it with minimal complaints from the car. It has never failed me, runs terrific, and is a ton of fun to drive. Dynoed recently at 129 hp/132 tq. For a novice at a track event, this car is near perfect. For an advanced level, it is still a ton of fun, but needs a little more power.
It has come a long way since I bought it a year ago, and quite a few members of MM have been involved in its transformation into the animal it is. I'll be sad to see it go, but I think I am being fair in the pricing considering everything that is coming with the car (pretty much anything that I still have related to a 240sx.

If its a repost bite me .

Unlike Danica Patrick's offer from Honda to run a few laps at the USGP this looks like Legge will get a full on test with Squadra Toro Rosso (the new Red Bull team formerly known as Minardi).

Even though there are several quick drivers waiting in the wings that would love the test role Legge has an outside chance of getting it. Still, I'd prefer she got some more wheel-to-wheel experience before taking a F1 test role.

This car is fantastic. Very fast (faster and as responsive as my mk4... FOR NOW) very clean interior. straight frame, one mild ding on the door. The head has been built by me with love to my expectations. It saddens me to make this sort of decision, but money is tough these days (so is gas).

Im entertaining offers right now or trades for 87 octane taking awd cars: audi quattro, subaru Impreza L's, plus cash. Anything else other than a truck, jeep, vans, etc.

PM me or go MAGOOE4 on IM

Car is located in Fairfax VA.

A guy I met down here bought this car this past summer. 36psi. The intake's diameter is like 6". Apparently it's brutal. He wouldn't let me drive it...maybe I'll have to sweet talk him. Something tells me I wouldn't win in a drag race.
