Hi Everyone,

I've been gone a while ... living in evo land, actually mostly working ...

I finally finished my RS project car, well 3rd iteration of it. Now that I have a 6 month old baby girl, I don't have time to track it.

Just curious to know what you think its worth, I have an idea ... but I'd like to see what others think.

Thanks for looking.

(its good if you want to track this car ... not so good if you're not interested in that kind of stuff)

 

man, Chelsea needs to see this!

 

whatever the bluebook says - $1000 for all the mods, unless you can find a buyer who wants your exact mods.

 

I think 12-13k if you find the right buyer

 

UBCSTI - you're right ... i'm looking for the RIGHT buyer.

To be honest, I don't really want to let the car go. The really fun part of this car is the mustang throttle body ... you won't see a WRX motor spool up this fast. Its very digital in nature (its on or its off). So you'll need a good sense of touch in your feet to drive this smoothly on the street ... on the track, not a problem since you're either on it or not.

This car is the scariest car i've had so far ... I do have Vishnu Stage 1+ Evo and sold my Vishnu Stage 2 WRX with all the suspension mods you can think of (it was in the sport compact car shootout). There is something to be said about a lighter chassis. This car can be induced to oversteer very easily and is some much lighter on its toes than the other two AWDs I've had.

 

youre the second person ive seen with the Mustang throttle body, how'd you make it fit?

 

I would LOVE to see pics of the engine bay+mustang throttle body. And any info you can share on this. I plan on keeping my 2.0L for at least another 1.5-2 years and really want to only add mods that will decrease spool time and give me better low-end power. if that helps, let me know!

For the right buyer, I would say this car is worth around $17K-$18K, possibly more.

 

Try to get a potential buyer by showing it off this Sunday at Mt. Hammy. =)

 

you just wanna see it

 

I think its only worth about $1000 and you should sell it to me

 

i too would love to see some pics

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all the feedback ... i'll work on posting some pictures tomorrow.

Steve

 

did you go to wendy's for dinner around 7:30pm tonight? I saw a white 99/00 RS coupe with corbeu(or how ever its spelled out) seats.

 

Hey Steve!

I'm sorry to hear you are lettin her go. I think bringing the car to hamilton would be good, just don't forget the "for sale by owner" sign.

And thanks again for that camera mound, it's been seeing good use

-Gagan

 

Gagan - long time no see. Glad you're making use of the mount.

mcdrama - nope that must have been someone else. I do have a single corbeau forza in the mail for the RS. I hope it gets here in the next day or two.

Mt. Hammy - I forgot its my parents anniversary on Sunday ... I'll try to make it out there, but its a brunch thing.

Just took some pictures ... i'll crop and post them shortly.
