As much as I would love to keep it, I don’t think that at this point it would be the best thing for me to do. I don’t HAVE to sell the car, but it would make things easier on me right now, so here it is.
I have personally invested over $50k in mods on this car in the past 5 months, and it had roughly $20k in it before I bought it.
The car itself has 56k on it, and the motor in the car has roughly 5k, but when sold it will have a brand new motor, because we are rebuilding it due to it having a noisy idle (bad wrist pin).
Also, the car will have a freshly ported head.
Just getting the motor rebuilt and the head ported will put me another $5k into the car….
Please feel free to make offers, I have a number in mind but I would rather keep it private. If you would like to discuss it please email me at: turbolexus@home.com
Please keep in mind that I PERSONALLY have WELL over $80k in this car since purchasing it in November of last year. I do realize that I am going to be taking a big hit, but please be realistic in your offers and questions.
Here is a list of mods on the car off the top of my head… I am sure there is a couple more things I am not remembering, which is what happens when you do this much to a carJ

hey Ebanks
It would kill me to have to make a post of me selling my LX even though it's a freaking pig, so first I wanna say sorry that you have to get rid of it. But second, I have friends who may be interested in your car. Do you have any performance specs, dyno, somthing I could tell them. I'll see if I can help you out man

sorry you are getting rid of the car - it has been a legend on these forums. OK, what'cha got up your sleeve? What are you getting next?
Any chance in parting out your goodies on the car?

Francis-
The car made 662 RWHP on the dyno at 31psi and the nitrous. The dyno couldn't put enough load on it to reach full boost, but the car holds 35-36 psi on the street, so the car makes easily over 700 RWHP.
As far as times I have never gotten to run it full out because I always get warnings at tracks just on medium boost with no Nitrous (for not having a cage) on 25psi with bad plugs on drag radials the car went 11.50... If you watch the video (I have it if you want to see it) you can even see me hit my brakes before the traps trying not to get kicked out This was on a pretty lame 1.93 60-ft as well.
Send me an email at turbolexus@home.com and let me know if you need anymore info.
And sorry guys, I am not going to part it out. Here are some various pics of the motor and buildup
