Hey guys,
I've reached the point to finally sell off my Si. I was trying to finish the project of building an entry-level road racer, but I've fallen too much in love with bikes, that this car needs to go.
This is a big deal for me. It was basically my first car, and got me into competitive racing that has now flourished into many marques.
The advice I need is HOW should I sell it? I'd like to see it go as a race car for two reasons:
1) I don't want to see it go to some 16yr old who's going to drive it into a light pole while street racing or get it crushed by the cops.
2) I have a lot of spares, and I'm too impatient for Ebay. Plus, the cost of bringing her back to stock.
Do you think it would sell better if it was stock?
So here goes with some details: '93 Si, clean CA title and reg (passes smog), 95% complete EDM conversion (like that matters on a race car, but that's the look it has). Chassis, motor and trans are all original with ~ 280,000 miles. Motor has no leaks and makes 115 whp which is still better than stock! The trans needs some love.
Spares include: full set of 15" wheels, 2 - D16 motors, and most of the original USDM parts.
Mods: As metioned earlier - everything involved with an EDM conversion minus the rear fog light and rear hatch for the wider license plates. All the typical suspension and bolt-on engine mods for STS class. GSR brake conversion with cryo-treated rotors. Autopower race rollbar (TBI), Sparco Sprint seat, Crow 4pt. harness (TBI), plus lots of details that I can get into with PM requests. (TBI = to be installed)
There's a lot more to go into, so just ask. Like I said, I'd prefer it to go to someone who just wants to track it, I might even be able to throw in a trailer if that will help.
I'll post general pictures soon, but for now here's a link to my Cardomain page

Shoot me offers or suggestions, constructive criticism is welcome too. I'll take trades for bikes, or if you have a Busa motor. I'd kind-of like to see it stick around for a few months just to enjoy it around Nor Cal (just moved), but if the right offer comes along....
Thanks,
Dave

When you figure out your asking price, PM me.
I'm not interested in the purchasing of your extras however, as this will be a DD for me.
