    F.S. Kato's '92 AW2 Mtech 2 Vert-BBS-Vaders-5 Speed Swap, SoCal!

    **SOLD/TRADED***

    Ok, after over 10 or so recent inquiries on the car, I'm going to put this up for sale for what I consider a very fair price. I was not wanting to sell for less than 14.5K-15K a few months ago but that was just after I "finished" project... I made the mistake of adding up all the actual $$ invested at it was over 17K (after taking out sold parts).

    I have another vehicle project that just popped up that I am seriously considering picking up but would need to move on from this project in order to do so for $$ and space constraints!

    Here's a thread with most of the relevant info and pictures:

    With everything/as is: $12,795 OBO

    With some weaves or 15" Momo Quasars (no 17" BBS): $10,995 OBO

    I may be able to pull a few of the larger/easier to market parts if price is slightly out of your budget. Let's talk.

    I can guarantee that you cannot build what I have for this money unless you are a mechanic and don't pay a penny for labor! Also, I haven't listed EVERYTHING done so assume there's more. Everything pretty much works as designed INCLUDING THE POWER TOP!!!

    Known Needs/Issues:

    -Oil leak from M20 (as almost all have). It's nothing horrible so I just add some oil as needed.

    -Rear plastic window cracked-replace window or do whole top-up to you but top is in solid shape otherwise as it was replaced a few years back.

    -Compressor for AC needs to be fixed. May do that soon but I never use AC typically since I roll top down half of the time.

    Not much else that I can think of as I've gone through almost the whole car since I've owned her. I can do both of these things relatively cheap if you want them done for a few more bucks before purchasing. I was planning on turbo or swap so never bothered to fix leak.


    If she does not sell then I'll move forward with Turbo install or motor swap and keep her for another year or so. I've been recently daily driving her and rather enjoy cruising around, especially since the wheels!!! They really make the car!!!

        That would be a record for a 92 M-Tech appearance & worth every penny of it. I have seen this car in person & it is very - very nice. GLWS !!

            Thanks, guys! I've enjoyed the project and really like driving her around! We'll see if somebody else is willing to pay a portion of what I have and can enjoy her further.

            Trust me-not replicable for this price!!! I bought the car for 3g's and have obviously "gone to town" on her for over the last year or so...

            Just paid Reg as well (CA) so that will give you a bit of a break...

              Hehe, I have some interesting plans. Not sure if it'll be another e30 but I still have the Coupe to have fun with so I won't be leaving e30 land! I picked up a turbo recently soon so it'll go on one car or another... We shall see!

              Checking into other Porsches, Lotus's (Loti?), LS swapped RX7's,... I'm all over the map but there are a few cool cars out there that could use my TLC... ;)

                  I have driven and worked on this car from day 1 and the car is sweeet!! One of the nicest e30s out there.

                      Yes, I got carried away on this one and sunk in a ton of cash! Oh well, my loss is somebody else's gain. :( Now I just need to figure out how to BUY these types of cars instead of selling them all the time! This is the third in the last few months! Time to change out the toys...

                        To answer some of the questions I'm getting publicly:

                        Yes, I will take a few parts off (only big, easy to market stuff) if you want to drop the price down a bit. Wheels are EASY to sell so I'd pull them off, seats as well. After that, the labor gets kinda spendy but there are some things that I would keep or have other buyers for... Let's chat or throw offers (be realistic, please).

                        Thanks for the interest and compliments, folks! Nice that folks are enjoying the car!

                          PMs replied. Bump it up. Realistic offers will absolutely be entertained but please be realistic! I have receipts for almost everything done (that mechanic did) that I can share. I have them scanned in if you want to review.

                            Ok, getting close to moving on to next phase of the project if she doesn't sell... I'm going to drop the price for the heck of it. Save me from myself, LOL!

                            $12,995 with everything

                            $10,995 without wheels/tires (but stock weaves)

                            Those of you who have seen this car know the level of detail and uniqueness being a factory MTech kit, Vaders and the wheels (which make the car IMO).

                            If you are sitting on the sidelines, now is the time. I bought a turbo but I may use it on the track/race car or keep it for my next project...muuuahhahahaa!

                              PM's replied. Thanks for interest and compliments. Really going to be tough to sell this car knowing that I could not replace her for this price! It's getting extremely hard to find the Mtech's around, let alone anything clean!!!
