Small update, ordered a passenger airbag. Not much to do with Hurricane Sandy around here, but it is nice to have off for two days...

Time for a new car. Going to miss this one, but I'm sure there's a good home out there for it.

Man sorry to see you selling it. Why the drastic decision to sell if you don't mind?

No real drastic decision, it's an awesome car, but I like to change things up. I haven't had a forced induction car yet, so I want to get experience in that field now. Possibly a Turbo II FC RX7? I really wish I could have done a 1JZ swap to this car, but I just don't have the funds for that. I'm sure someone out there does though, and this car is a perfect candidate for it.

The spark plug wires are NGK. The cheapest I found them was on Amazon for around $55, if I remember right. And thanks, it is a nice car!

Ok so let me get this straight... You have done all this work and trouble shooting, and now your selling it?

I am kinda speechless. You know that most people who do this, will be back? Look at the threads.....

Haha, I know. It's all a learning experience, and I feel like I've learned plenty from this car, and now it's time for someone else to take it to the next level. I would have loved to do a 1JZ swap, but I don't have the funds currently. It definitely is an awesome car to own though. I will probably end up doing the same thing with my next car as well. It's a great feeling to see where a car started, and then a couple months later, end up with a completely different car. Just like my old RX...

Started out here...




Ended up here....



Then sold it three months later.....

It's very satisfying to know that a car that probably would've never seen a good owner again got some major TLC from me, and got a second chance on the road. Hopefully that explains why I'm selling it. It's time for me to give another car some good TLC.

Don't sell it man. It's such a rare car for you just to sell it like that. Instead of doing a 1jz. You can just go na-t. Build your own kit. And there you have your force induction car.

It's a hard call guys, but I really do want to sell it. It is a really rare car, and I know I am the only one around here, but I just feel like it is time for a new build. Time to bring another car back to life.

I kinda decided not to sell my car just because its tough to find black interior now, when it's for sale it sells quick (unless the price is unreasonable).

I think you should keep it man, there's so much more you can do.
