Vehicle: 2006 Pontiac GTO
Lately the tuning bug kinda just left me and I've been thinking of selling the car, and getting something to just keep stock.
Car is a black 2000 Tiburon, 106k miles, with a turbo kit from SOCKS (T3 Super 60, log manifold, FMIC, half-core rad). It has the AEM FIC with a PNP harness, has oil pressure, EGT, and boost gauges, AEM UEGO gauge. Turbo kit is almost new, had it for a few thousand miles, running at about 8-9psi, it is a BEAST compared to N/A. Exhaust is 2.5" all the way. Tranny has been recently swapped to a newer Elantra tranny with 22k miles on it, with a ACT 6-puck clutch; axles have been swapped then as well. Many other minor mods like pulleys, strut bar, hood struts, ark sts, etc.
The car also has a really good CarPC and audio system. Good speakers all around (components up front, with tweeters molded to the inside mirror panels), a JBL GTO 75.4 four channel amp (more than 100W RMS per channel), and an Alpine 500W sub amp with a 500W Alpine 10" sub in a box. All lights in the dash have been switched to blue LEDs.
I have invested ~$4500 in the turbo kit and related electronics, ~$800 in the tranny+axles+clutch, and at least ~$1500 in the CarPC and audio.
I've been having a few small issues with it (horn isn't working, glasspack has to be replaced) but I might get these fixed soon. The body is not in great shape, it has many minor dings and a small bump in one fender near the bumper.
Car is in Boston. Not 100% sure I want to sell, just looking to see if there is any interest. Would probably want to get at least $5500 for everything; but feel free to make me an offer if you are serious and I will consider it. Will take pictures for any interested buyer (please dont waste my time though)

Now that I got my GTO I will sell the tib for sure. If anyone shows any interest I will put up a real FS thread. Keep in mind that any reasonable offer will be considered.
Otherwise I'll sell it locally but I would much rather have it go to someone who can understand and appreciate what I did to the car.
P.S. ignore the small issues I mentioned above, they have been fixed back then

I don't really have enough time to do a part-out, we'll see.
Tranny is from a 2004 Elantra, almost direct bolt on (required minor grinding around one mount, there's a video on this forum showing it if you search)

GTO > turbo RD.. i wish i could buy the car and make it my marketing b****, haha. hope it goes to a good home, considering all thats involved in the turbo kit and the CarPC.
