I have been thinking about selling my car, and getting an EVO MR.

I would either sell my car as it is or bring it closer to stock and sell my mods. Would anybody be interested in any of my stuff? (I.e. custom sub box, nitrous kit, or whatever).

I might go to a pick and pull junk yard and find the stock parts I need, or sell my stuff for stock parts plus cash.

Let me know what you guys think.

Misc:

oil press gauge
white hvac guage overlay
B&M short throw shifter
lots of new parts including a new sunroof motor, IMRC, starter, alternator (basically everything mechanically that could be an issue has been fixed or modded).

Car has 110,000

Problems:
Could use a paint job, It doesn't look real bad it is just an older car. If I keep it, I will be painting it next.

I may have forgotten lots of mods or repairs. Feel free to ask any questions.

The car makes 180fwhp without nitrous and 235fwhp on a 75 shot of nitrous This is on a mustang dyno (they read a little lower than dynojets). I have only gone through two bottles of nitrous in over a year, so I don't really use it much. The car should be making more power, because I got some new tunes from warmonger. I haven't had a chance to dyno it again, but it feels faster.




There is probably more stuff done to it, but I can't think of it all. I posted here, becuase I would rather not deal with shipping if anybody were interested in my parts.
 
How much? Please PM me your phone number, I will take it with or without mods whatever your preference, although most of the mods are mods I would eventually do as well. Pics help also.

(Put up a fairly low number as I am not kicking tires. More of what you would take than what you want to get. I am in Orlando)

I would definitely be interested in quite a few of the parts if you decide to return it to stock. And I may be interested in the car as-is depending on price. Where can I see pics?
 
Lets start an interest check on the things people might be interested in that are easy to part with.

I could slowly bring it back to stock, and then sell it once I buy a replacement. I am mostly thinking about getting a new car, because I am bored with this one. There is nothing left to mod that interests me other than a 3L or turbo, and that mod money would be better spent on a down payment for something better.

For those of you interested in the car as is...I will not sell it below or even at KBB value. There is no sense in losing money when I could make more slowly bringing it back to stock and selling it then. If you are really interested in buying it as is send me your offers. Whatever it would sell for would be significantly less than what it would cost you to do the same mods to a car in this condition.
 
Parts I would be interested in:
Koni kit
Transaxle
Fog lights
Elky mesh
Roll resistors
Mount inserts
All exhaust components, esp. headers and Y-pipe
B&M shifter

Doubt I could afford all of that at the moment, but that's my wish list at least. I'd like to see pictures so I consider possibly taking the car as-is.
 
I hope you found a new way to have kids because when I see you Im going to kick you real hard in the nuts
 
i'll take the hood randy, and nitrous kit, but after the meet, or i'll join svttour in kicking you in the balls!!

make sure we go for a ride during the meet, so i can see how she runs with the juice!
 
its settled, randy is getting kicked in the nads, but you guys can do it, randys bigger then me!
 
I have never feared for my future children as much as I do now! Anyways, this is just a bit of an interest check.

This car is like the girlfriend you can't get rid of. Sometimes I want to keep it, and at other times I would rather move onto something different.

I tried posting pics but photobucket hasn't been working for me. Anybody really interested in seeing the car can search in pics and videos. I have posted recent pics In the past couple of months.
 
So you keep this girlfriend that you visit on weekends, while your new car ("the wife") is the one you come home to (or in this case drive home) everyday.
