So it was a sad day....

So after a year of pulling teeth with my car it is finally gone. I traded it in last night after not selling it for 3 months. I traded for a 03 350z track edition...... I know I know major power down grade but not for to long. The plan was to find a roller chassis 350z and sell my evo to build something new but there are no bear chassis. I Have a great starting point with only 60k on the chassis. The plan is to swap the VQ35 with a LS1 and compete NASA ST racing with it. But for now she makes a wonderful daily. Just made my 60 mile journey to work in the rain I forgot what it was like to have a rwd car with a little power in the rain . I plan to buy another evo before years end just the one I had was a bad egg and had to go. I almost shed a tear pulling out of the parking lot tho looking back at the evo in the rear view. Oh well someone else problem now. This is not a fair well just a wait a bit till the squeal

Well since day one it was sold to me under false terms. My fault since I bought it by pictures from a dealer auction. But first it was the clutch then the transmission then the cam pickup making me think it jumped timing and did a new timing belt to figure it was a bolt. 2 brand new starts not working. Then 2k miles later ring lands on #4 took a dump then a full motor build to break again. I cut my losses and let it go It was red I knew I shouldn't of bought a red car in the first place.
