Well after much debate, Im putting my latest project up for sale.
Let me start off by saying it was tough to put a price on this car, and I feel theres some good value here for someone.
Even though I dont feel obligated to give you a reason for selling, Ill tell you anyway.. I want to spec race. Besides the fact I just bought a house, and my second child was just born, I wont make that an excuse. The simple fact that Ive become ridiculously addicted to track weekends is my only real reason.. And as much as i hate to say it, some would consider it a little
too nice to turn into a full out race car. That said, the ONLY trades Ill consider, would be a turn-key SE30
Ive basically broken every part of this car into very realistic prices, so please serious inquiries only. Meaning, there's nothing you will point out to me to use as a bargaining tool, that I havent already considered in justifying my price.
Here is the documentation of its recent transformation:
So enough with the fluff, heres the details on the car.
Overview:
-1990 original alpine II 325is
-195k on chassis- original odo still in working order.
-Clean title- accident free
- 100% rust free southern car
-Original paint, aside from front/rear valence, skirts, spoiler engine bay, and hood
-Comparable to other cars this age with original paint, this car is very clean, and gets a metric shit ton of attention and compliments.
That said- it is NOT a show car, its a DRIVERS car, and to me, its the best thing about this car. Its something that cleans up really nice, but you can also take to the track, and not look like a pansy while you spray protectant spray wax on between sessions. So expect your normal wear&tear, dings here and there. Must be appreciated in person.
- the engine bay, as seen on the thread was shaved of all brackets, and painted original bmw 218

-E30 M3 driveshaft
-NEW guibo & CSB
-legit 60k mile 3.23 LSD pulled by me personally from a ridiculously well maintained M-coupe. This is literally the tightest nicest non-rebuilt diff Ive ever layed hands on.

-Cooling system
m20/m50 radiator
m20 overflow
modified obd2 router
WOT TECH modified coolant temp sender
180 T-stat

Mishimoto 14" pusher wired to AC fan
exhaust:
Seems that alot of these projects sort of lack on the exhaust department, and i can confidently say this car is an exception.
all stainless, sounds amazing, and was built by john caraher (forced firechicken)
- Its a stock s52 tubular mainifold-into a flexpipe- 2-1 merge collector- single 2.5"- magnaflow resonator- back to dual 2" - dual in&out billy boat muffler
-Using all new quick release V-band clamps.. you can literally R+R this whole system in 10 minutes. This exhaust if made by your local shop would run you 1k alone.

-Period correct Recaro SE-LS sitting on Massive rails. These are pretty nice)
-Cracked original dash is still in there, but I have a MINT dash ill include in the sale

E30 abs CPU
E30 ABS pump
S52 power steering system
E30 AC condensor and fan
s52 clutch fan
s52 shroud
s52 AC compressor/condensor
And pretty much everything else extra I dont need to build a spec car (two full boxes of extras.
Now the price:
Now while I feel the full asking is very fair, I also understand not everyone can justify paying for all the fancy suspension etc etc. (ive done this before lol)
So Im willing to de-content the car in a number of different trims- for example you had a set of wheels you had in mind for a certain car, I could drop price accordingly and sell with four lug, or seats, or diff, etc etc. Please serious inquiries only.
As-is Im looking for 12.5k, but will listen to serious offers. Frankly you can say whatever you want about the price, you will not hurt my feelings, I promise.
