I30t w/ DEK swap!!!

Ok guys, i'm thinking bout moving onto another car possibly a 5.5 gen max. I've got a 99 i30t with 2001 DEK swap. Everything is documented. The motor had 4,256 miles originally when i installed it into the car. Now it has just over 40k miles. I have ksport coilovers, vafcII, aem uego wideband, alpine 9886 HU, 2 12" type s alpine subs, mrpm500 amp. injen intake, nx wet kit, msd8969 digital window switch, DR Mod, DMH e-cutout, cattman catback, budget y-pipe......here are some pics. please tell me what you would consider fair for this car and also how you like the car. thanks

you're going to take a hit on it just cause it's swapped. i would pull everything you can that won't affect it's ability to function rather than sell it whole.

i would go about it the opposite way... try and sell it whole (although i wouldn't waste a whole lot of time waiting) and then, if it doesn't mover, just return to as stock as you can. if you wait until you have buyers for everything you'll never get rid of the car (which isn't really a bad thing).

ok will do, i'll keep you in mind bout the cutout. if anyone that has headers (cattman or hotshot) that will trade for stereo stuff or nitrous and cash i will sell the cutout as the headers/y-pipe will replace my current one.

I would totally give my 5spd 97 I30t for this car. I wanted a white one. And I'm leaning towards getting an auto as I get older.
