    Putting a feeler post out for my 05 FXT that was totaled. I lack the time & space to try and fix it myself—plus body work isn't something I'm really prepared to deal with. So, I'm looking to find a new home for it.

    If you're interested in parting it out that's cool and I can be down with that. However, I'd rather see it kept on the road and have parts that would help in the repair (headlights, radiator hoses) and could include those if desired.

    It was towed to @Krazylegz1485 place today. He has first dibs on it if interested. No pressure.

    It still runs fine, just isn't driveable with the upper core support bent in so far: the radiator fans & shroud are contacting the drive belts & pulleys.

    What likely needs replacing:
    • Front bumper cover
    • Grille
    • Headlights & headlight trim pieces
    • Hood
    • Radiator
    • Condenser (if you want to keep AC)
    • Upper core support, unsure about the crash bar & lower core support
    History and high-level highlights of the vehicle:
    • I'm the 2nd owner, bought it in 2020 in Austin, MN with 72k miles (currently has 102k miles) and it was totally stock then
    • Stock engine (EJ255), transmission (5MT), and turbo (TD04)
    • All glass tinted
    • Cobb AccessPort tuned at JM making 225awhp on 91e10 octane at 18psi (GrimmSpeed ECBS)
    • TurboXS turboback exhaust (high-flow cat) & GrimmSpeed catless uppipe
    • Lowered 1.5" on KYB struts with Swift springs
    • Whiteline rear sway bar, Kartboy endlinks, and Whiteline heavy duty mounts
    • Primitive Racing front skid plate & rear-diff skid plate
    • 4/2 piston (06-07 WRX) brake caliper upgrade with Centric rotors & Hawk HPS 5 pads with stainless braided brake lines in the front
    • Koyorad radiator (probably needs to be replaced as mentioned), GrimmSpeed silicone radiator hoses, cylinder 4 cooling mod, and new radiator caps
    • STi aluminum front lower control arms
    • GrimmSpeed TMIC
    • GrimmSpeed AOS
    • GrimmSpeed hood struts
    The only parts I want to keep for myself are the dual-channel hard wired dashcam and the double-DIN stereo. I have the stock radio to put back in it.

    Asking for any reasonable offer above $1,061 as that was the buyback amount from insurance.

    If you made it this far: know of any leads on any 1st gen Honda Insights with a manual? I've been seriously looking at them as a daily driver.

    I rode alongside this beauty up to Grand Rapids last summer. Looked great and sounded great as well! Pic of it in it’s glory…

    Sold. Thanks @Krazylegz1485 and thanks to the other folks who DM'd me, was pleasantly surprised by the reception I got from this post.
