what i sold my car for..

if anyone noticed i decided to sell my car and buy what ive always wanted. ive saved up for the past months buying nothing at all so i can buy this car i found in minnesota and drive it back here to NY. it was worth it.









its a 1999 3000GT VR4 TT AWD AWS, only 287 were made in its last year and this is in mint condition, clean carfax, and only 60k original miles on the clock.

this car is 10 days old with me and ive managed to put on a FMIC, HKS SSQV, greddy turbo timer, blitz boost controller, and defi blue racer gauges(courtesy of lil benny).

lucky enough for me i live 30minutes next to some of the greatest 3000GT mechanics and tuners in the country!

ill still be on the forum and hang out at some local meets as i still am a lover of rotaries. feel free to comment.

this car is the least made production car under 100 grand. im not changing the body at all. =)

any fan of the 90s era japanese horsepower wars will appreciate this fine vehicle. id say its on the same plateau as the MKIV, 300zx fairlady, and rx7.

Haha, it had so many problems with it I had to sell it to buy the 8.

The asian girl is my sister.

I love the way the 3rd generation 3000GT's look like, it's just too bad that that was the only one available at the time. :[ It's definitely unique, and super sexy.
