Welp, I'll be starting law school in the fall so I think I'll sell my car.
Reasons: I have been driving since I was 11, racing since I was 14. Started in a 74 Mini cooper with 200bhp. Which is now a mini with 300bhp. I have less sleepless nights over my full race Mini than my Marauder. It makes me sad that I am better at building a car that performance than pros.
Yes I said it I am better, the guys who built the car, owned the car and sold the car are dirt bags, and sold it like you would sell a Lignfelter (sp) as a car needing nothing but to be driven. I don't care who is in love with VT and their work you can take offence all day. They didn't do it right, and I had to end up fixing all their mistakes, I hadn't previously delt with american motors, so I left it to the "experts". My mistake, won't happen again.
So as it is the car is better than when I bought it. The motor is rebuilt, and has been loved and broken in the right way. I've done some little things here and there, and sifted through the forums here and at the corral for interesting little anomalies(sp) I found that didn't seem right to me, all of which turned out to be correct. This car is now what it should of been when I first bought it... so why am I selling?
Well it needs a couple things: New wheels and tires to hold the power better, I dunno where these jokers got the idea for the tires they put on it... and they put nice forged wheels on but they need to be wide in the back... good thing is the back spacing is the same as with stock and they are 9" so... 10" in the back is easy with .5 more space in the back then making stock wider. Also I'd like Lidio to tune her, cuz they tuned the motor, and rebuilt the trans and did the rear end but didn't tune the shift points :(
So you might ask, after all this why sell now when it's so close? I am done, I need to concentrate on law school and I don't need to be irritated. The car is great now, it just irritates me because of what all has happened, and by the fact that the last two things I wanna do I really don't have money to do.
So what does this mean? someone will get to be happy with her, like I would like to be... but you know how it goes, first impressions and all. I'm putting her up for sale at 30K, then I'll start over and do it my way from the start so I know it's done right. I'll prob end up with an SRT-4 or something, seeing as mopar parts are covered under the warrany and it's a cheap little car. I drove one and they are suprisingly nice, and it won't be a burden money wise while I'm in Law School.
That is all
