Best For Sale potential
Ok guys, my two year plan to get into a V Coupe requires me to sell my 04. This mostly in part due to my school loans. Need to get these paid off instead of dragging them out. Here is my dillema:
I am mid-mod effort. I have a ported FAST 90mm with matching 90mm TB on the bench. I was waiting to get a catch can before I install it and get re-tuned. Work has had me busy for months now and the install has yet to happen due to lack of being able to schedule a tune.
Current Mods:
Torquer v2 cam
Dual springs w/ tit. hardware
MSD wires
Volant CAI
25% UD pulley
160 stat
OBX 1-7/8
X-pipe to corsa cat-back
BMR pinion support brace
Creative Steel MM and TM
Newish items:
Starter
Battery
Clutch pedal switch
Soon to be new steering wheel position sensor
I also have ALL stock parts!
Should I:
A) install fast setup, tune and sell
B) sell as is, unload fast setup
C) return to stock, sell and unload all mod parts within reason
Car is 04 silver/tan, 83k and in very good condition.

Option B. Sell is as is...and unload the FAST.
C wouldn't be bad, just more timing consuming then B. A would just be a waste of money, since you wont get that much more (more then likely $0) money with the parts installed on the car.
GL with the plans.

Looking at a truck. Have a 21' aurora deckboat that needs towing. Tired of borrowing my dads truck. Although, I may just buy an A to B car. I have school loans that I need to hurry and pay off so I can reasonably get a coupe. I hate monthly payments and owing money. Feels like it's a waste. My house is even on a ten year plan. I better have a good retirement for this current sacrificial mindset!

Give me a week to think about it. I'm thinking price would be around 1k.
Ported Fast 90mm -Jeremy Formato
Ported 90mm LS2 TB
LS6 to LS2 adapter harness
New intake runner gaskets
Valley cover bolts
Has fuel rail mounted with stock 28lbs inj
Fuel rail pressure gauge.
She's ready to bolt on! Like I said in the 1st post, I was just waiting to buy a catch can after setting a dyno appointment.

What about some opinions from the new V owners on what you were looking for? Future aspirations vs buying condition mainly. If you planned on creating a monster, would you buy one that is 3/4 there?

Brand new un-ported intake only, Yes! Tony Mamo sold ported 90's with matching TB's 20 months ago for $1700. No adapter harness, fuel rails or injectors.
It's composite and there are no wear items associated with the intake. What would depreciate? You could have 100k miles on the intake and as long as its clean internally, its still gonna flow.

I did all the work myself to begin with. Shouldn't take more than a weekend to return to stock. Selling point and market are my concerns. Better market modded or stock?
