I'm tired of these damn cars, I need out. I'm unemployed I can't afford it either - First person with $5000 cash gets my car, and entire shed & storage unit full of parts. Includes numerous body parts, spare engine parts, at least two transmissions, turbos, wire harnesses, everything must go!
The car itself -
The only AWD Capri in the world - none other like it! No traction problems, no silly torque steer!
Specs:
AWD
Larger 1.8L engine w/ JDM turbo goodies
Front mount intercooler, SSQV BOV
Large hybrid T-bird turbo
Fidanza flywheel with ACT HDSS clutch
Optima Redtop in what used to be back seat
15 gallon fuel cell in trunk w/ Walbro 255lph pump
KYB struts on 4 corners w/ H&R lowering springs, sitting on 15" aftermarket wheels
Galant Big Brake Upgrade
Chipped ECU
Way too much to mention!
Again this is totally a one of a kind car, its fast as fuck, a real blast to drive!

Matt-
As we discussed last night, I think you should really reconsider. Sell the Grand Prix. You own the most unique Capri in existence, as well as providing Capri owners an invaluable service with your cast parts, and ECU chips. It would just be wrong to sell the car to just anyone who wouldn't appreciate it for what it is.
Trust me, I've been out of work for a year and a half. Bills will always be there, but when you have something special, you hold on to it! Someone as smart as you are should be able to figure out a way to make some $$, right?
Damn, they're dropping like flies....... (http://graemlins/big-down.gif)

agreed

My company put me on an unwanted Disability leave. Basically I don't have a job, I don't qualify for unemployment and until the disability checks start to come in (66% of my gross pay) I have no income. I'll do what I have to to support my family. Hell I'm 51 years old no one really wants me because my age makes me a liability. If push comes to shove I have a Sig P226 and three 18 round clips and there's a shit load of gas stations around here!
-
Ah, well. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. I understand. I'm trying to decide what I'm doing with the 14 Capris we have now. I need the cash, as well, ain't no jobs out there.
Tell ya what - I'll give you 2K for that hobbled-together, jury-rigged deathtrap. Let me know.

Please tell me this is a cruel April fools joke.

DITTO !!!!!!

Everybody's got to do what they've got to do in this economy. I agree you should reconsider, but I've been where you are. You've been a great asset to this group - a great source of information and I hope you will come back when things get better for you, should you finally decide to leave us. Thanks for everything, Rocket!

I just got off the phone with Matt - He is currently on his way to Delaware, to deliver the car to it's new owner. Apparently, the guy wants the engine and drivetrain to put in his Escort GT, and he's been after Matt for quite awhile to sell him the car. Looks like he won (http://graemlins/big-down.gif)
-
very sad to hear the car got sold just to be taken apart :-( i hope we dont lose your information and insight on this forum. hopefully you will find a job soon to help you in this economy to hopefully get another capri to make faster than everyone's
-
Funny thing - I got to Delaware & the guy handed me the money...and then after the test drive he said "naaah keep the car its too awesome"
So looks like I'll be sticking with it for a while (http://smile.gif)
Happy April 1st to everyone, btw.
-
:cool:
-
so...did you hand the money back?
-
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYYYYY im so glad you get to keep the gtxr2 but still sad for the reason that you had to sell it :-(
-
Happy April 1 to you too, DAWG!

I went broke and sold a '04 WRX. Bought this for A to B since they're cheap & now it's getting fun but not easy to upgrade. Went back to school(a community College-haha), in my mid to upper 40's & it's paying for this. When ya want out it's temporary-if you like fast you'll be into something else no matter what. Now I just need to figure out how to lose 200+ lbs. on this thing. Even old 80's Rabbits had a fake plastic bumber that replaced the 70 lb original!
-
The beginning of this thread; so not cool.
But a legitimate question: is the state of the US ecconomy really that bad? Sounds like alot of you are on some really hard times.
-
Turns out it was a perhaps bit too seriously worded April Fool's joke.
But yes, my employer shut its doors for good around the new year, and I've been unable to find a suitable job since. :( Times are tough.
-
I concur. I was laid off after 15 years, and have not been able to find a decent job since. I was laid off almost 2 years ago, and the best I can do so far is a part-time job at Subway, although, I was working at Subway long before I was laid off.
Things will get better. It's just a matter of holding on until it does!

there is always a reason for everything that happens and life sometimes throws stuff at you that you dont like or wish never did but you must look at them as a test of strength and will.
-
