The car runs good while in gas, but the tune to me needs a tweak. Sometimes the car dies when the AC is on and when the RPM's drop to low. I am NOT a tuner, so please don't ask me technical questions about certain things on the AEM V2. The car has a oil leak even after I replaced the rear main seal, yet again. Thats the only thing leaking. Did all the work myself, except a few things on the wiring. Had BatlGround in Atlanta tune the car. Made 467 RWHP on 16 PSI and 523RWHP and 421 torque on 21 PSI on PUMP GAS, 93 octane. The car has an exhaust leak around the flange again on the exhaust manifold. I bought another thicker flange and a new metal gasket, not installed. I would think this needed to be welded on or replaced with new one. The new gasket might seal the leak. The exhaust is also leaking around the DP and exhaust meet. No biggie, just needs a better metal gasket. The car must run own 93 or better. I did not have them tune it for E85 or Race gas. I wanted to be able to drive the car anywhere and be able to use pump gas. With the supporting mods, I believe you could squeeze a few more ponies from it without any upgrades, due to the safe tune. In high boost, it sits at 10.8 and 11.1 in low boost at full throttle. I haven't done a compression test since I have picked it up from Zen Motors. The car starts right up, even after sitting a week at a time, without any white smoke. Car still has stock bottom end and stock head gasket.
I have had all the dents and dings removed form the car, except for one. Hardly noticeable on driver side rear fender. Antenna mask just broke, but motor works perfect. I am getting a roaring from the right rear of the car, not sure what that is. I think a bad tire, due to tread wear. It is speed dependent. All the windows work flawlessly and door handles. Nothing is broke on the car. I removed the cruise control module when did the swap. I also have an extra cable for the cruise to work. The passenger side upper trim has a small crack, but repairable. Nothing on the car squeaks or rattles, just the roaring noise from right rear side. The car had alignment about 2 months ago, and doesn't need one now, IMO.
I am asking 12K for the car the way it sits. It needs very little for a fully built car, IMO. I would also consider a trade for an IS300 and cash, if older model. I have an extra TT fuel pump, misc bits and pieces, but will give everything I have for the SC. The invoice for Zen Motors was 3700 for tune, misc wiring stuff, and fuel line upgrade. Have over 14K in build alone, not counting other stuff. Have receipts for most of the build still.
Here is the link to my build thread and pictures. If you need any more details feel free to call me or post up. My number is 205-482-5533. Thanks for looking, Mark

I certainly know that you are a super honest guy & a perfectionist so anyone who buys this car , you will be assured of getting what you pay for . Hate to see you get out of the game but I understand where your coming from too. You can tell from the pictures how sweet the car is n someone will be getting a awesome boosted SC with LOTS of goodies. N believe me those goodies add up fast .

Has a brand new Gold series battery from Advanced Auto Parts. I believe a three warranty. In the last picture it is showing a TRD shifter, it does not have that anymore. I didn't like the long look of the shifter ****. It has the stock OEM R154 Soarer shifter ****. No wear at all on it.
Again I will update this thread as I remember stuff.

Thank you man. I appreciate it. The motor and car is as clean as ever, IMO. It does need a bath from driving it home in the rain the other day. Stays pretty clean.
