Thanks bud, yeah a boosted ride is not for me. It was fun and all but I have too much going on. Hopefully I can get it gone soon, lol.

russell , sorry to see it go bro , but i understand your situation as you have explained to me ...

folks , i did the swap in this car .this is one of the smoother vvti gte i have encountered. the motor itself had a unusual low amount of miles on it . i have pictures of the engine when purchased and opened up as well as pictures of the the swap process if anyone needs . its a solid car . his gas gauge works as stock as most with this swap cant get the guage to work . unlike other vvti swaps , his doesnt run rich in full boost hence why his feels strong while pulling .. i did his suspension overhaul with the poly bushings so the famous 60mph shimmy is not there .

glws russell as you are a genuine guy and i wish you the best

Thanks Ed, I really wish I didn't have to let it go, and I am trying to see if I can get something worked out but it doesn't look good.

Default $10,500 obo

Not spending anymore money on the car, may have developed a boost leak, AC compressor needs replacing, front suspension squeaks on rough roads but otherwise the car is driving good. $10,500 OBO
