First off this car hasn't seen a winter in a number of years if ever. The previous owners swore to me it was not wintered but I can only speak for myself. I intended to keep this car forever. Becasue of this the car is in great shape. When you have to work on it you don't have to worry about rust and bolt heads breaking off. Having had 2 wintered 92s prior to this car I can tell you it is a welcome change.

Second it's well modded and already decently tuned. If you bought an AEM EMS for your car that's $1,500 on it's own. Then you have to pay someone to tune it or deal with some downtime while you learned. In this case you get something already driveable that you can learn to tune on at a slower pace. On pump gas it has run many low 12 second passes. On race gas with a better driver she can get 11s no problem since I had her trap at 122mph.

She is also comfortable on the road course. She has been out to Dunnville and had a blast beating up on Corvettes and Beamers. That's the reason I put the brakes on her in the first place, I wanted a race car that could do more then the 1320.

She is also quite comfortable on the street. The reason I pulled out the H&R springs was that she was too low for me on regular roads. I also pulled out the HAWK pads because they squealed during regular driving. I still have both these items I will sell with the car.

I haven't modded the car much at all lately because it's a great setup as it is. If I was going to modify anything it would probably be a ball bearing turbo to get 400~500 rpm of the lag back or maybe switch to a smaller intercooler. Otherwise I've been quite happy for the years I've had her.

So why am I selling? Well for no reason the car has given me anyway. I think after 10 years of doing the DSM and modified car thing I think I am done. It's just out of my system. I will sure miss her but it's time for me to get a single year round nice looking less performing car. I am also going to try the bike thing. A winter car, this 98 and a bike is just too much insurance money down the toillette.

There of course are the odd little issues with the car like the fact the blinkers don't cancel and the small crack in the center brake light etc. I am just about as honest a person you can come by so if you are interested and come see the car I will go over it all. For more history feel free to search my posts here as I probably posted about them all here.

No tire kickers or joy riders please. I only want people really interested to contact me about seeing the car. Understand this is a fairly modified vehicle with a stand alone engine management system. Serious inquiries only.

And no I am not parting the car out so don't ask

Not sure what I was smoking when I wrote the above but the tires are Fuzion ZRi. They are at least 90%+ tread.

Just an update. I am basing most of the above on how she was pwerforming before I put her away for the winter. I have had her out and a bout a bit now and so far so good. I haven't noticed any new issues yet after charging the battery. No leaks no new noises. I haven't opened her up much yet though but will. I put in 3G lifters today and that certainly quieted the engine a bit more.

I will do a compression test and pressure test the intake system to look for leaks next.

Well that went well:

Dry test (no need for a wet test)
Cyl 1: 156
Cyl 2: 152
Cyl 3: 158
Cyl 4: 152

Spanked her a bit more too and she's running well this year .

She just passed a real etest with flying colours.

She is now safetied for the next 36 days.

New price is $11,000 cert and etest (have both already, both legit).

Come get it before I change my mind.

$10,800 cert and etested. Still running great.

She is getting neglected now that I bought my bike .

(Sweet ride.)

Quit updating your thread and bringing down the price. I already have 4 cars and I don't have room to add my dream car.

So cut it out!

Someone please buy this car and get it away from me.

I'm working on it Rod.

I swear.
If I still live up there Mike, I'd buy it, right freaking now.

I have shown it to a colleague .. doing my part to help with the sale

I am stunned I still own this car. The safety is about to run out.

How about some options:

$11,000 with extra stuff and I throw in my 20 gallon 5hp compressor

$10,800 for just the car and extra stuff (no compressor for you!)

$10,500 for just the car no extra stuff (I will sell that seperately myself)


Extra stuff: EGT gauge, race springs, Hawk HP+ front race pads, dual piston big brakes, stock speakers... probably more that I can't think of.

Hey Mike, I feel ya. I'm guessing you get a lot of people who want the car, look at it, then something comes up where they can't buy it right?

I've had 3 people say they are buying my car, cash ready, then they back out.

3 more say I want to buy it and am coming to look with my parents/friend this weekend, back out.

I hear ya.

My thought is what i've gone through with selling parts. People here just hold out and wait, then you lower your price. Then again lower it, they'd rather wait until your frustrated and try to get the cheapest price possible! I'm so glad I don't have parts to sell anymore, it was quite depressing to say the least.
Good luck with the sale Mike, the car looks really sweet.

Same here. You're in a bit of a no-mans land, Mike. Young guys can't afford that nice a car, older guys would spend more for a newer one. Factor in higher gas prices, etc...

It'll go. You just have to stand fast...

Sale pending...

I think I speak for everyone when I say THANK GOD...now I don't have to try and justify having 2 talons

Mike, come on... I only need another week...I'm buying another car and I was hoping for yours. My wife is all for it.
Honestly PM me if it falls through. 2 weeks for sure I'll have the 11g's

The end of an era... take good care of her man.

I take it it is sold? So, who bought it??

The car is definitely sold

Well whoever bought it got one sick DSM. Definately one of the meanest looking 2Gbs I've seen. Congrats on finally unloading it Mike.

The rumour is I bought it.
