Hi everyone,
Finally listing my project car for sale. I haven't had much time to work on it over the past year or so since i've been busy running the family business. This car definitely is a head turner. It's currently stored in my friends garage in the Los Angeles area. The car is clean title with no accidents. The vehicle has full features in various magazines (Import Tuner, Performance Auto and Sound, and various international magazines) and was on the 2008 Memphis Car Audio tour (nationwide).
The vehicle is currently registered and only has about 2,000 miles on the odometer. There is work to be finished on the vehicle before it is fully streetable. I do warn you it is not smog legal in the state of california and is meant to be a show/race vehicle, not a daily driver. below is a list of modifications that were done to the vehicle
Exterior
- Magma orange custom paintjob
- 5axis lip kit
- Seibon carbon fiber hood
- Seibon carbon fiber trunk
Interior
- Full custom roll cage by Oink fabrication (dual main hoop cage w/ halo wrc style cage) cage is FIA certifiable
- Sparco Evo3 seats w/ custom seat brackets
- NRG short hub
- NRG steering wheel
- Custom carbon fiber doors
- Relocated window switches to center console
- Crowe harnesses
Engine (all work done by JRX Engineering/myself)
- 3S-GTE engine swap (full swap with manual transmission conversion not a bolt in swap by any means)
- custom front mount intercooler setup
- Borg Warner K24 turbo upgrade ($3,000 turbo alone)
- custom exhaust manifold
- greddy rs bov
- Microtech stand alone w/ custom harness
Suspension and wheels
- KW Variant 2 coilovers
- JBT 13" 4 piston big brake upgrade
- Full stitch welded chassis by Oink Fabrication
- 18x8 +35 Enkei RPF1
- Toyo R1R 225/40r18. Tires are still practically brand new
Audio
Valor n-dash DVD player
- 1 set of Memphis Car Audio 6.5 components
- 1 Memphis Car Audio S-Class 4 channel amp
- 2 Memphis Car Audio S-Class single channel amps
- 2 Memphis Car Audio 10" M-class subwoofers in custom pod enclosure.
- Custom amp rack and mounts for speaker pods
The vehicle does need some work to be finished, but definitely is a one of a kind vehicle. The engine swap alone minus the upgrades is quoted to be roughly $10k by JRX. Here are some current pics of the vehicle below.








I'm selling the xD for $25,000 obo. I'm a very reasonable person and am able to negotiate the price of course. I have wayyyy too many projects and no time so figure i'm going to start selling them. I'll have a stock tC here on the forums for sale as well. Please serious inquiries only. easiest way to get a hold of me is by email at mike@m2-motoring.com Thanks again for looking!
