I kind of like the look of the car. Your best bet is to post it in the race car classifieds. It should fetch a little more than what was posted. The widebody alone makes it desirable. It looks like a very good platform for a race car. I would list it for $6900 or best offer.

Actualy through the person i bought the car from, you might know him, Dave Osborne. He is really close friends with the onwer of blazak and i can get get a new kevlar clutch which he says will be harder then **** to break for $921 CAD. His labor is $56 because of low overhead costs due to his location. Its about a 10hr job so it a hell of a lot cheaper then the $3000 they want from me at Furtmair. Dave is going to ask his freind if i could borrow his trailor and haul my car down there to get it fixed this weekend hopefully. If he cant get it well then i will have to start her in third and drive under 100 from waterloo to kingston.... Yea 5 hours later i will be there lol.

As far as the 15.5 finaly someone recognises the value. Everyone in the united states gives it 10k or less. I bought it for 17k and i figure it was a decent deal because the strosek kit alone is worth half of what people say my car is worth. I personaly love my car, gf hates it but hey isn't that how it always is? I plan to get this clutch fixed rain or shine and keep drivin this baby until she fires on her last cylinder... THEN ITS A 3.0L CRATE for me! .... and 14k out of my pocket!

So, reading from your profile your 17? If you pick up a part time job youll have the clutch paid for in a couple paychecks. It's not too huge if you still live with the rents like I do.

I would take a part time job very quickly if i could. I am not allowed to get one during the school year because i play tons of sports as well and my parents feel it would severly impact my academic career. During the summer i can and maybe i can pay them back.

Man, I sounded like a real a-hole last night. Thanks for taking it so well.
my apologies,
Ben Z.
But I'm sticking to my guns on one point: I will still point and laugh at Mike if he buys the fender gills.

Porsche951redt, glad you are keeping the car and you are not letting the clutch job get the better of you.
djazzy99, If you don't mind send me a PM as well. I wouldn't mind tagging along sometime.
