Just posted this on evox forums:
So, I think I am parting some of my car out. Going to post up a FS thread this weekend.
I have more debt right now than I am comfortable with (t4 conversion cost me 2k more than I figured it would after all was said and done) and I need some revenue.
I first was going to sell my whole car but that is a tough sale I would lose a TON of money and probably regret it. So I came up with a good idea (I think), downgrade.
I am going to part out the MAP t4 kit, wally 400 pump and FIC2150's to start. I am then going to take insurance off teh evo and store it for a few months to recoup. I honestly haven't fully recovered from the two engine builds two years ago in a row. They were close to 20k and I had to borrow and owe like 600 on those still so I want to get rid of that and my CC debt.
My plan is going to be move to a smaller setup to mitigate my risk as well. I am thinking an Ef2 or 2.5, probably the two. I have even considered the stock turbo as well and go for some stock turbo records and maybe start doing some other forms of driving (road course).
Just to put it out there, I love my car and the current setup, it is beast. Great tune from Baka, great setup from MAP. But I am starting to get a bit sick of spending kilobucks on this thing every year lol. I could've paid half my mortgage off almost, well 1/3, if I invested the evo money there.
I am just to the point where there are too many other things in life that I need to start putting some attention/money there.
I will still be around with this method (not selling the evo) and I will still have a bad ass setup, just not uber. I will also run a much lower risk of blowing stuff up not pushing a 2.2L motor to 800HP haha. And honestly with how strapped I am right now I haven't even wanted to drive the car because if it breaks I can't fix it.
So bottom line, time to be smarter with my financials and wait until I have a better cash reserve before going a bit bigger.
I will probably be looking for a stock mani and a few other items (ID1000's) in 2 months or so but for now I need cash.
The evo will continue to move forward, just much slower lol.
Anyone wanna help pull some parts off soon?
Time to dial things back a bit.
