    I'm looking for a highway cruiser, I don't really want to sell it. I just need more room,
    but with the new exhaust I can't stop driving it around just to hear it rumble :)

    nice car... minus the minimal negatives on it (dent, unpainted hood n fenders)
    this is a damn nice rs. nice start to a mild n/a build and very nice job on the other upgrades...

    good luck on the sale, though i don't think you'll need it...that is if you decide to sell, which you shouldn't....

    on a side note though, how do you like the results of the spicy delta regrind on the cams??? big difference?? i've been considering it for awhile, that is when i'm in my n/a build mind set

    Thank you

    I love the cams!! big difference, but I have more upgrades too the intake and exhaust to help get rid of the burnt gasses. the stock cams have a dead spot around 3,500-3,750 rpm and then die out again around 4,700 rpm with the regrinds and my upgrades the engine pulls hard all the way to 4,000 rpm's and then has another boost of life all the way to 6,500 rpm, its almost scary how fast it goes from 30 mph to 75 mph in 3rd gear.

    Install the cams you'll fall in love with your car again!

    I thought it was easy to do, just need a couple specific tools, and your set

    some people say the short ram takes away from low end torque , well with the cams,header, and cat back the engine produces enough power for city street driving

    hope that answers your question

    Richard


    ps i just saw that your from Rochester, Thats where I'm from. Actually I had 2nd street muffler center do the cat back work for me, they do all my families exhaust work, they are the best in Rochester.
    they know what it takes to get the job done and they don't charge to much for thier work!

    the car will be sold as is, no paint so the new buyer can paint it how he or she would like to paint it:cool:

    I bought the car for $5500 and put $8000 in to the car in parts and repairs.
    thats $13500 :emo: take that times 50% = $6750 now as for a realistic price...

    most RS coupes sell for $7000-$8000 in good shape with small mods

    it needs $1500 in paint , subtract that from the avg. normal sale price

    avg. normal sale price is $7500 - $1500(paint) = $6000

    pm me offers

    if it wasn't for the rust spots I'd be all over this.
    As for the price, I think its a lil high for having 203k and needs body work.
    I can't consider the other mods since it would be swapped out anyways.

    Would you like to set up a test drive?
    this car should not be swapped, and if it was to be swapped the parts not used by the swapper would be a great addition to any NA 2.5L car :)

    I don't have the cash sorry shibbs, I feel bad enough for even letting the car go :( I spent 4 years adding parts in such away to only make it a even more well rounded car than how it was stock. I would like to think that if STi had tuned a NA 2.5L car for the united states it might feel like this one.

    ps. trying to find a car to replace it is going to be very hard!

    A lot of parts? ... as in a nicely built 2.5 engine screaming to be swapped into an OBS? :biggrin:

    Anyway, congrats on the pending sale.
