Default old car new great price

I purchased this 1997 Acura Integra GSR 11 months ago. The all metal JDM Type R front end with HID lights was put on first. Parts alone was 4000 dollars. Labor and paint was another 2000. The front end was put on perfectly with no gaps or inperfections. The suspension was then upgraded with the best products. The factory shocks were replaced with KONI yellow , which are adjustable height and ride wise. H+R sport springs was added to improve the handling and looks of the car. Suspension technique front and rear Sway bars, and front and rear strut bars were also installed to imporve the cornering of this amazing vehicle. 1200 dollars in parts alone was spent on the suspension. THe car handles like a dream, much better then any Factory Type R out there. Best of all the firmness and hright can be adjusted. I recently purchaced 17 inch Velox vx8 rims with 215/40/17 Z rated tires. This makes the car looks so much better then the stock 15 inch rims. The gunmetal finish and polished lip is the new trend these days. The next upgrade was the turbo system. The turbo has only been on the car for only 7000 miles, and every thing runs great. A compression test was ran last week and it was above 220 on all 4 cylinders. The bare system from drag costed 3100. I upgraded from the turbonetics wastegate to a Tial wastegate to prevent Boost spikes. That was an additional 250. The fuel system was then upgraded with an inline fuel pump, AEM fuel rail and AEM fuel Filter, RC 310cc injectors. Those parts alone cost 700. Fuel delivery in a turbo car is important because if there is not enough fuel then ur motor will detonate. The car was put on a dyno and tuned. THe motor put out 307 hp at the wheels on 10 psi of boost. That equates to over 350 hp at the flywheel. That is alot of power for a 2700 lbs car. Keep in mind that all the parts i put on my car are Brought new. So if u get my car nothing is over 1 year old. The ignition system is composed of all MSD products. The 6al and BTM are mounted under the passenger seat for a stealth look. There is also a coil in the engine compartment connected to 8mm MSD wires. The ngk cold spark plugs are designed for force induction cars. THe Igntion system which i spent 600 dollars on increased my gas mileage from 24 to 26 miles per gallon. That is city and highway driving. That is alother great thing about the car, even though it has a lot of power it gets great mileage. The stereo Sysem is also upgraded with quality parts including diamond Audio components in the fron and infinity kappa in the rear. THe subwoofer is a 10 inch Orion HCCA all powered by a 6 channel Nakamichi 6 channel amp. THe amp alone costed me 600 dollars, and it is a huge amp, it must be around 30 pounds. I cannot stop talking about the car. So much time and money has been spent on this car. the Blue book value on the Stock 1997 Integra GSR alone is 13000, i have spent over 17000 on the car. To built an exact same car would cost you about 30000. I hate to see this car go away so here is your chance to own this car at a fraction of what i spent. Please email me at thecmv@hotmail.com if you have any other questions. I have included a list of all the parts on the car and a link to additionl pics. Also if you buy it now i will pay for half of the shipping fees. The can can be sold with out the stereo or rims, contact me for info on how much i can take off the winning bid.
