So I put my car up for sale since the birth of my daughter. I was hoping it would sell but secretly not I had it apart with a brand new FMIC kit and new headlights for it. I had a couple people contact me about it but no one wanted to pay less apart so I put it back together. I started last night and finished today.

I have to say it was so hard to go out testing it and driving around knowing that it was as good as gone when I finished working on her for the last time. I received a deposit today and it will be gone this week

I owned the car for 5 years now and have gone from bone stock 92 5-speed to having buddy club race spec coilovers, ls400 brakes, 19" Axis wheels, competition stage 3 clutch, 1jz swap (done by me and a couple friends), FMIC, soarer headlights, etc.

It has been a blast and a lot of fun and I will be VERY sad to see it go, but it is for the best and there will always be others. I appreciate all the time and articles on here that have helped me and made me laugh throughout the past few years. I will lurk still but may not have another SC for a while....

Thanks I gotta say that the 2 things that sucked more than doing work on my car for the past day or so were; 1) being outside and not being inside with my wife and 8 week old, (2) not being able to take her for a ride in it before I sell it...I don't think at her age the noise and spooling turbos would be a good idea. In any case, there are ALWAYS future projects and things to build/enjoy with her and maybe another in the future. Just is REAL hard to work on a car and get it running so well to give it away right after.

Shoot you aren't getting rid of me that easy Matt! I may not be as elite as you in your slow little ride but I can always help swap random is300s and scs in my driveway My neighbors would be sad if I didn't do something like that

Glad the throttle cable works! Just remember you needed mine cuz it was SO much longer than yours

When I look at my daughter every minute I know it is the right decision. My wife and I already are talking about what will be next...she is awesome too and knows that I want to build cars as it is my hobby. I just can't wait for my daughter to be able to wrench on it with me...yeah she is going to learn and tell all the boys whats up!

I know it's bittersweet Jeff but you will be back with another setup. Is the new owner local?

Well person who has a deposit on it is from Silver Spring. However, if things fall through it is going to Wilmington NC next weekend. Either way she is definitely gone but next time I will come back bigger and better...

That sucks, but you're correct, it's worth it!

Where are you in MD? I lived in aspen hill and laurel for three years and worked in beltsville...my oldest son, who is now seven, was born in Columbia.
