Car #6 for team Simon Says. $350. Pretty straight but looks like an abandoned motor swap. Here are the goodies I've found so far...

Carbon Fiber Hood
Cross drilled rotors
Ground control sleeves and springs
Short shifter
SS catback exhaust
AC fuel rail
Throttlebody spacer
1-piece headlights
Bumper grille
Lightweight flywheel
Slotted upper a-arms
DC header

And now I'm google stalking the last owner on record to see if I can find a title.

Stacey Barbalinardo is 25 years old, was born in 1987, currently lives in Freemont, NJ, and enjoys baking cookies. Based on her profile picture, she is actually quite attractive. She had a cat when she lived in Greensboro and worked at a meat store. She has at least one court record available, has been evicted at least once, and at the time of Integra ownership had a boyfriend who lived in Germany for a while. She has 16 followers on Pintrest and her father has Alzheimers.

Scary, huh? I wonder if she knows where the car's ECU is. Probably not.

Are you trying to get it running or is it just a parts car that you're pulling the go fast parts off of Mike?

Either way, $350 ain't too shabby, especially if you can get it running and sell it. 8)

Bah, we bought an entire running parts car for $100. Even the paint and interior still looks good.

Hes the new Wheeler dealer in the club. he needs his own show on velocity channel and a british accent. I think he needs to lift it and rally it .

On a semi related note. A friend of mine bought a jaguar at an auction out of Florida it looked a little dirty but no cel so how bad could it be? Apparently no inspections in Florida, the cel had been on so long it burnt out!

Got it running this weekend with an ECU, fixed the wiring on the main relay, 3 plug wires, and replaced the missing rocker arm on the head (!!).
