Default well the time has come...

I sold the G today. Ive been parting it out for about a month now. I ended up selling all of the parts a while back. I found a buyer today who wanted the car with the turbo kit on it. It was funny because I told him before he saw it that it had the kit, after he drove it, he said he didnt want it without the kit. I think I got a pretty good deal, and so did he. With the money I got from the mods and car, since it was close to being paid off, I am gonna buy a used SUV and a toy, more than likely a 96 240sx with a built KA-T putting down around 500whp. It will be different but right now with 2 kids <4 yrs old, the G isnt practical. Ive enjoyed the G and made lots of friends on the forums. Thanks to all you guys that have helped me thru all my adventures, you know who you are. Ill still be on here, probably just as much as I used to be, but wont be buying and selling parts anymore. I bet ive bought/sold over 100 parts b/t here and G35driver. Maybe I will pick up one later, after all the R&D is done. Now Ill be looking in from the outside.

Best of luck with the Silvia...
post some picks. A 500whp 240 will walk all over the 500whp G35, purely on the power/weight ratio.
EDIT...

Ideally you don't want your kid right up against the front seats even if they are strapped down.

Tig,

Sad to see you go man~ Your endeavor with APS ST definitely helped me alot with my project... Now, who's willing to sacrifice their car to be the next APS R&D vehicle?
