Yea man I'd keep it, put i back together and drive it. If that kid ruined some interior parts just leave em out. Think of it as weight saving haha. Just make it look clean inside and out.

lol yea if I was not so far financially in to it

the weight is a big factor over a dsm or late evo which is why the words fastest evo is a 1st Gen.

I have no intensions to ever daily drive such a car which Is why I took it out of road duty in the 1st place and the fact that it was so hacked up with e bay Turbo and intetcooler etc etc

the guy wanting to trade me for his sequoia was asking 7200 for it so that is about where I would value it and that's taking a bath of a loss.

family health has to come before a race car build hands down but if I can't get that out of it then I will just put her in storage until the timing is better to take on such a project.

Ultimately, it's your car. I traded my R33 for my evo, if I would not have traded the R33, it would now be a Turbo LS powered R33, although everyone hated that idea, I was thrilled. It is your car.

Build it for street AND strip...This way it's still versatile and can serve you better than just a drag car...You'll get more uses for it and then can justify keeping it. If you build it solely for one purpose, you'll see it just hanging around and then most likely sell it...If you can afford to keep it! You sell something like that, that is SO RARE, you'll hate yourself later! Good luck!

yea street will be very limited since it will have an 8.50 cage with parachute and kirky fixed position race seat but I'll keep it registered and insured just incase

I'm looking for an enclosed trailer to store it in for a while so we will see I guess.

lol yea I think I'm going to just keep it and go ahead with the build as planned just slower than I anticipated but she will go 8's or bust!


I am thinking about picking up another evo 8 as a daily because this ls400 is killing be on fuel costs.
