Hello all,
Yea I'm still kickin.. I don't get much time to get on the board as of late though.. But I stop thru when I can..
I know I posted this in the 3g general section and I will get to that in a minute.. I also know that parts of this should be in the market section, but please bear with me, oh I'm not a big fan of the new trading post..
Anywayz, I'm so extremely miserable in MA.
I don't have to many good notes, although the ones I do, rank the highest.
Wife and son are healthy and well, my sons getting huge!
5 months now, damn time flys..
Wifey (and I) got a 2008 Subaru Impreza 2.5i 5 door hatch (and love it!!)
Thats almost all the good notes I have unfortunatly..
The Bad
First off I entirely screwed myself job wise, I was at a shop in Newton, MA.. (20 frickin miles each way!!)
I was hired to do TB's and HG's.. But ended up only doin alignments and alot of effin oil changes.. Needless to say I hated it!! So then I got an interview at the gas station on base, was told I could start the following monday.. Told the shop I was at the friday would be my last day and they said I could just go, so I packed up my box and left.. Then I ended up getting flagged for a mistake I made when I was 16, for a shoplifting charge 8 years ago!!.. I thought I learned my lesson back then, cause I've never stole since, but it still haunts me..
So, I'm currently out of a job..
My suby was down from 2 weeks after I started at the shop till last week.. I blew the tranny again, so while I had it out I rebuilt the motor.. Now I cant get it to run right and I've gone through every diag, procedure I can think of, and double check everything.. So I'm still tryin to figure that mess out.. It's friggen mind boggling!!
So now to brass tacks
This kills me.. But It's a possibility I have to explore givin, current circumstances..
First I'll say, Does anyone know where I can get a coupe or hatch f/i chassis/body in good condition cheap and soon? I only need the shell, no motor, no suspension, just the shell.
If I can't fine one..
I'm looking into parting out the car...
If I do, I will not part the motor.
Motor is fresh build,
.020 OS pistons

upgraded spring tension
7 angle valve job

I'm looking for around $1100 to $1200 for the motor set incl. 5speed trans
I'll also consider throwing in the custom ITB set-up for another $200 with the motor only..
Also the interior and suspension compontents

amongs many other things..
I'll only sell if it looks like I'll be able to get ride of most everything..
I hate to do this because of all the money blood sweat and tears I put into this car.. But I gotta do something with it and finishing it hasn't been on the priority list lately, unfortunately...
Make any offers if interested, and I'll take accept dibs for the time being too, until the sale becomes official..
If your interested in any other parts or have question concerning the already listed ones feel free to ask..
