TURBO'd 04 GT with many mods
2004 MT GT Brilliant Black with Red and black interior 44K miles. CHICAGOLAND
Well....it's time to tear apart my heart and sell my love. I bought this car in July of 07 for $18000 with 39,800 miles on it and now it only has 44K on it. Never driven in the snow and maybe twice in the rain and garage kept. Washed every week even if it wasn't driven and waxed every other week. I have taken GREAT care of this car and treated it with nothing but the best. I am in a financial bind because of all the mods I've done and unfortuantely got in over my head.
It's getting out of the shop tomorrow from the major reformations I did. Biggest one of all was the Esmeril Turbo kit with Int-X. I got to drive the car for 500 miles to break in the clutch so we could dyno and tune it this weekend at the Chicago Dyno Day. At the same shop that did all my work. They are a GREAT shop and take EXTREMELY good care for the cars they work on. Although I don't have any RECENT pics since all of the installations the past month, I do have ones from right before it went in.
I have put roughly 14K into the car. I have all receipts. I am also going to post a dyno graph and a compression graph this weekend. The infamous Charles R. Hill knows me pretty well and can vouch I treated this car well and wanted the best of the best for it. Which is why some of his products are included. He is also going to be doing the tuning/dyno along with Mazdamaniac this Saturday (June 7th).
I know the asking price seems high but I guarantee you can see it's worth it. I am flexible though. Here is the link to my page with pics. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3095838
I will be posting updated pics along with the graphs this weekend. Any questions, feel free to PM me.
21,000 OBO

Here is the link for the shop that did all the installation. They did an amazing job. They have even done some wokr for Michael Jordan. So if Mike likes em....so do I haha. They do great work regardless though.

Thanks I appreciate all the help this forum has given me and all the support I have gotten with my current situation....I will have another turbo 8 though once I get out of this debt and then actually have cash to pay for it all. I'm giving myself 2 years until I'm back haha.

i'm holding off on the ebay thing for now just because I feel that I won't get what I want off there. It would be last resort.
