Really testing waters, meaning part of me really really really does not want to let this car go.
Everything just hit me today. I’m turning 18 in like 3 days, I’m going to college, and that maybe it’s time to put a hold having a crazy fast car. My fathers been pressuring me about starting to maybe have some responsibility and all that bullshit. I guess I just feel pressured and that maybe I need to just be a normal car person for once.
I know for a fact that this car will NEVER ever recuperate the amount of time, price of parts, and price of labor that was put into it. But let me just say it’s a very easy estimate that there is more than $20,000 of go-fast parts in this car. Parting it out should yield around $13,000+ all said and done.(Researched and tested the waters on Honda-tech)
I put some work into it and the original plan was just to have fun with it and part it out, but I decided that I really really liked how this car runs. I really don’t want to part this thing out, it’s just awesome the way it is.

I’m interested in trades mostly. I don’t really want to sell outright because I know the cars worth more to me than what it’s worth out right.
Looking for specifically:
5spd
WRX’s
Eclipse GSX’s
Talon TSI AWD’s
Others too.
Looking for things in about the $6000-$10,000 range in value.
Thanks,
Sobo
