The partout of my car has begun!

Never thought it'd happen... but it looks like I'll be selling my Lancer. Wasn't a planned thing.. but found a deal I couldn't pass up. So just a heads up to you all that my car will be for sale.. and may part out the aftermarket stuff on it if it doesn't sell for what I want as a package. (~12,000)

I ended up picking up a yellow Mazda MP3 (only 500 of them exist) that is turboed to make over 300 whp on 105 octane. And makes 220 whp daily.. and can be set to easily make 257 whp on 93 octane.

Runs an evo 5 turbo, with a microtech standalone fuel management system, fmic, etc... very very nice car

Just a heads up! I'll post pics and so forth when I get the car in two weeks... I'll probably still frequent the boards... so I'll still see you all. But a heads up if you are interested in my car or the parts.. just see the registry. I'll put up a for sale thread in the proper forum once it actually becomes a truly for sale item.

Just think now I'll finally have a chance to do the engine tuning and so forth that I wanted to , without all the cost! The car is actually already setup with several different maps and so forth... but I may putz with them to see if I can get out more power at some point. Should be fun though. I'll still probably show up at the MLC meets or something as well....

awww man... you guys rock

I'll tell you that I got it over Kbb (for a non-modded car) and it has about 10K in the engine... and I didn't even pay for a 3rd of that engine work... so do your homework and you'll be close

I'm hoping i get lucky and sell the car as a package.. I'll make more money than partout... but we'll see... partout may very well be coming soon .

I get the car in about 7 days maybe 10 .

The dude that is selling it even detailed it for me and is sending the extra rims, stock parts, etc all as a batch.. shipping was included . SWEEET ..
