Turbo un-installed... car back to stock!

Well, its all off - got a new oil-pan in last night, so everything is back to NA form (Comptech Headers & Intake). I am including the welded oil-pan, Mugen T-stat/Fan-switch etc. with the kit. It's all packed up... bubble-wrap, peanuts and all, ready to ship. I drove the car to work today... definately a BIG difference, but I do have to admit... the car is still quick - the CL-S is definately not underpowered for daily use. I am really proud of myself how this kit came out... component by component... easily disassembled
and easily installed.

Time to think of the next project...!!

Best 1/4 was 12.9 @ 111.87

The car isn't back to STOCK form... just Comptech Headers & intake which is pretty much stock to begin with.

I'll let the buyer introduce himself/herself when he/she is ready to do so

Let the buyer tell the price. All I can say is that I included an oil-pan (with the welded fitting for the oil-return) and the boost-guage (with A-pillar). I spent a lot of time cleaning, repainting and polishing the components prior to packing it. I actually had as much fun taking the kit off as I did making it!

Allmotor, why did you decide to take it out and sell it after all that work, expense and experimenting?

Just make sure you don't install it upside-down.

The fun/challenge was in making the kit... plus it was fun to drive it and run it at the track once. However... if I were to keep it, I'd want 600+hp and this kit won't give me that... and there's a lot of other work required to make that kind of power.

Crazy Sellout is kidding... it wasn't him!

The buyer is a very nice individual... considerate of the time I needed to take it out etc. and other factors affecting the purchase and my situation. Subsequently, I want to give that person something of quality and his/her's $$$$ worth!

Just a crappy 13.5 1/4 mile run.

He's not COOL ENOUGH to take some good vids of it. :P


You know it's gotta be Astroboy who bought the kit. He's got the bling and the urge.. and the past turbo addiction.
