    I dunno yet about being done drifting. Frustrated at this point. I need a break.

    Not selling the overs by themselves. If someone buys the motor set, I'm selling the body separately. Overs go with chassis. Already have 1 person lined up for the chassis

    I'd like a new shell while I'm at it. But it is a thought.

    I feel that way a lot dude. Just make it street legal and drive it to work once in awhile. That's what I do to keep me sane (drove mine to work today)

    So then what's wrong with it now? What is the final straw? Surely not you're selling a 100% sorted car or you'd be stoked to keep it and drive it I think.

    From what I can tell, it's 100% sorted. Overheats when run too hard for too long. But that's about it. I want a car I can drive to and from events without needing a truck/trailer. This car needs more work than I want to put in. I might slap the coils on my M20 E30 and just slide that for now.

    Translation, this car is a bag of dicks and I want to start over. You are saying the car is 100% sorted and it needs more work than you can do in the same sentence. After all the time and money that car must be F' ed for you to sell it. But than again if you can get 14k for it big boner all the way to the bank..

    Just to be certain this isn't takin wrong if yosi says the car is 100% it is a 100%

    mmm why slide M20 E30 when you have a 500hp E30 perfectly shorted 100% done car?, its sound like something is wrong and instead of fixing it you prefer to sell, i understand how it feels when trying to fix a car and you run into trouble think everything is fine and then new problems, you just say no more and quit, but you say this is not the case its "100%" so yes its sound like you what to pass the curse to some one else.

    Nothing is cursed. I did melt the #1 wire at the last event. That was the last straw for me. There's always something to fix on the car. Last time it was the tune not letting it get past 4200. There's always something. The car is too complicated for me and I'm tired of constantly fixing it. Right now, aside from overheating on hard driving, the car starts and drives around fine. For all I know, if I just put a turbo blanket on it, the car would be fine.

    But, the car isn't street legal and I'm tired of not being able to drive it around. Even if I fix the exhaust, I still need to get it to pass emissions. Which it won't without more $$. Even then, the car will get me pulled over daily. It's loud, it's uncomfortable. Why would I want a car I can only drive 6 times a year? I want something I can drive around and get groceries.

    I have not once been pulled over in my race car, and I've driven it to work at least 50 days this year.

    I get it that you want a more comfortable daily, understandable.

    IMO you should disclose the full issues with the car or investigate further, or fix it and then sell it, or have someone help you fix it. No offence but the car has always been a hackjob with wiring and MS stuff, so I can't say I'm surprised you're fed up. I would be happy to help you with it if you lived near me, but you don't

    You should comp/leak down test for the new owner at least. Maybe sniff the radiator cap too for Hc.

    I did disclose full info. I fixed the melted wire and tied them back so it won't melt. The car's wiring was never an issue. But even if you have no faith in my wiring, this is now a regular old OBD1 full E36 harness adapted for the E30 like very other swap.

    There's nothing I want help with. If I was to keep the car, I would chuck just the engine. Which I'm ok with too if someone just wants the motor. I don't get how difficult this is. Car runs, won't catch fire, if you floor it for a few minutes, it'll overheat. Yay. Now buy it.
