Not bad, that's about what I paid a few years back.

BTW, didn't you state not too long ago that you didn't want one and weren't going to install one on that car? I could have been in a drug induced haze when I thought I read that, though..........

Yeah I did state i wasnt gonna put one on cuase I wanted to keep the car as light as possible....but it looks so vacant in the back and this will also complete the cars Turbo look. All I need is a 350 under the hood and a turbo S tranny and Im good Love the front valance on your car...very sexy..-chris

So what ever happened to the idea of selling it and buying a turbo?

I think Im just gonna wait, the car did suprizingly well at the track and the car it self is pretty decently modified. I think Im gonna continue to get rid of some debt and save for a house and in a few years get a turbo and keep this car. i figure I put so much work and time into this car its not worth fighting with someone to get a measly 4500 bucks for. This winter Im gonna put the rear valance on and do some extensive prevenative maintance. I have stainless steel brake lines and a clutch hose to go in as well as a oil pan gasket(where my leaks are comin from) and timing belts and rod bearings just in case, maybe water pump too. The car handles well and brakes great, the body is in great shape for a track car. I also have a shift lever coming from paragon as we speak so the car should be another few steps ahead of where it is for next season.

Anything between 150 and 200 is the norm. Btw, i love your n/a. Some of your action shots are incredible as well!

I agree that $150 to $200 is common. I paid about the same. I think Sean (MideastMafia) said he got oine offa 951 in a wrecking yard for like $25!!! I think he's in San Diego though and got his in Tijuana or something. I'd buy all the $25 ones I could find and post them on Ebay!

If anyone is in the San Diego area call up Ramsey at All Smash in San Ysidro. I think he has a couple valances lying around that he would move for about $75-$100. I got a killer deal on mine from John at Autobahn. THANKS JOHN!
