FS 2007 GXP
« on: February 01, 2011, 08:37:52 AM »
It is time to say good bye to my little hot rod, just getting to hard for me to climb in and out, arthritus is a :censor: . I have a LV front brace to sell new, still at Joe's. Also a DDM catch can new in the box. The car has HKS coilovers on it, if you want to do the labor to swap them for stock ones before I sell it I will make you a good deal. I have 4 SSR wheels not on the car for sale as well, minor scratchs but no road rash. So there it is, if you want anything, let me know.

In case those of you didn't know it, Old Goat brought a lot of firsts to the Kappa platform. 

Waste Gate Rod Mod
Westers Tunes (he originally had a truck tuned and had the first GXP tunes by Lyndon)
Style Bar from Rhys Millen

I'm sure there are others I've forgotten (CRS)

Thanks for what you did for the Kappa Community

good luck with the sale Jim, see ya around.

Jeez.  The end of an era.  You have had so much input to the mods and general useful input areas of this forum (and have done your part to keep it entertaining <ahem>) it's a blow to see you have to sell your car.  Plus, I wanted to see your past year's mods at the May MMM :)

Will you still stay in touch here?

Gonna miss you Jim, best wishes and drop in from time to time.  You are one of the first solstice owners I met.  It was on the ferry run across the potomic and you were on the other side I think with Smartin.  Any way, best wishes.

Goat, what do you really need the money for?!?! You know you'll miss the beast when she's gone. My sol and my first born son were born the same year... I think it's really probably his car, and I'll just keep it safe and tuned for him till he's ready.

If your mind is set though I appreciate all the time and effort you put into these forums. I'm a new member but devouring all the old posts as much as I can.

P.S.   please tell us you have another project on the go... at least tell us that.

This is the type of post I fear we all will post one day.  Nevertheless, for folks who don't know your car you may want to post specs & pics and a price.  Course you know just because you sell doesn't mean you still can't participate here and club functions.

Thanks for the nice comments, I will leave most of the stuff on the car when I sell it. I am pulling the stereo but leaving the head unit with GPS. The car has been fun and certainly a money pit. Not everyone knows I have a limited edition Harley Screamin Eagle Deuce in the garage, it has even more work done to it than the car. I am going back to being a biker, suits me better. I still have a lot of biker buds and they ride every weekend so I will still be burning up the roads, just on 2 wheels instead of 4. I finished the bike before I bought the car so nothing to do to it but ride it, it maybe time to sell the bike too and start bike project III.

The one in the foreground is my bike, the white one behind it is now my sons but I built that one too, both have roughly double the factory HP.
