After seriously thinking about it, I've decided to sell my car. I know I'll miss it but I think it is for the best... Better that someone else enjoys it rather than me just looking at it parked in the garage all the time...
Why: Like I said, I never have time to drive for enjoyment anymore. I only get to take it out once a week or once every other week or something... Wish I could take it out more, but I can't, so I've decided to pass it on. That way I won't always sit there thinking about wanting to take it out since I won't have it.

The car has been garage kept. The maintenance has been performed regularly. I have taken meticulous care of the car since I have had it and especially since I have had the turbo kit. I check the engine oil/coolant/brake fluid etc... before starting the car every time. Other basic stuff has been has been checked regularly.
Car is mechanically sound; it runs perfectly fine. I have had all work professionally done to ensure that everything was done properly. I have had the turbo kit since the beginning of last year (~Feb '06). Since then I have put 9,077 miles on the car. The turbo kit is tuned for 12 psi on a very conservative tune. I never felt like I wanted to go for peak HP numbers right away that is why I have kept the boost low. The car has more than enough power to have fun. I had plans for raising the boost in the near future, however as you can see, I have now put the car up for sale.
The way it is set up right now, it is a perfect daily driver. There is no need to take the car above 4000-4500 rpm for any normal driving situation. There is more than enough power at this rpm to get up to speed, pass, or any other "normal driving." I usually see ~20 mpg for mixed driving with a little bit of "fun" driving thrown in. Highway gas mileage goes up to ~26-28 mpg. Not that gas mileage matters when you're looking for performance, but just thought I'd throw that in there The thing I love about this car is it is really tame at lower RPMs but once you take it up in the RPM band and give it some throttle it is a completely different beast.
In addition to everything listed above, The following parts will also be included with the sale of the car (however I reserve the right to remove them from this sale as I see fit if feel that the offer made too low. I am very flexible with all of this so we should be able to work something out.):
- 5Zigen GN+R Bronze wheels 18x7.5" +48mm F / 18x8.5" +48mm R (2 of these wheels are scuffed and slightly damaged, overall I'd say they aren't in the best condition, but they are perfect for a second set of tires. I was planning on getting All Season or Winter tires mounted on these to use in bad weather if necessary.)
- OEM Amber Diffusers
- OEM Diffusers
- OEM ECU
- OEM header
- OEM catalytic convertor (one of the flanges is cut off)
- OEM heatshields
I'll say this up front so I don't disappoint anyone: Unfortunately I cannot allow any test drives. I will be more than happy to demonstrate what the car can do, but I would rather not risk letting someone else test drive the car.
I will be posting some newer pictures of the car, but until then here are some older pictures of the car that are still fairly accurate:

You will regret it. Trust me I know. 
But good luck on the sale.
