AWD arent worth that much more. MSRP may be 39K+ but that mean anything in todays market when you can buy almost any car for tens of thousands under MSRP. I have bought and sold a couple TBSS, they don't hold there value very well. Good luck with the sale.

Its an 08 which are selling for over 25k.....its been 3 years since the 08s came out....kinda sounds like its holding its value to me :)

Check autotrader.....ebay.....carmax......none of the tbss for sale are near mine. All are 28k+


Another thing. I'm far from eager to sell. Only selling to start on an unfinished project.

Ty for the info

They are dealers also, they are also still forsale at those high asking prices. Its your ride, you can ask whatever you want. I go trough alot of vehicles and don't like them being forsale forever, about the longest I like is about 2 weeks if that long. I would rather make my money and move on.

My G8 is dark gray on 19s.

i never said it was zero mile, it was the sales managers demo with 1800 miles on it but it still was never titled. And yes I did get it for $25000. like i said these things must have gone back up in price. Ive seen some 1SS's for sell in the $13k range.

Also mine was a LT-SS they didnt start the 1SS and 3SS untill 07, Which also makes insurance cheaper on the 06's since SS was an option and not a trim level.

If I sell the tbss I will get my old g8 back for cheaper than I sold it for.

That's always an option, I hear great things about him and his backing his word/work.

However, he has no lift....so id have to pay showzone to pull it and take it over to him. Or buy a core somewhere....

I envy you guys who do your own work, as I don't have a proper location, tools or the know how to work on my own car.

Don't get me wrong I love going to showzone, knowing that it will be done right. Just would like to try it out
sometime....I would like to get headers if I keep it and try that on my own/with a few buddies.

Yup Its actually Shawns trans I was just gonna steel some parts to beef up my 60. If you were interested I could get you in touch with him. He could do the swap in his shop in summerville and he already has a good relationship with Gerald and familiar with tbss. As long as I get a planetary and hardened parts im happy.

All wheels are painted from factory.....was gonna go PC but a week down time and have to redo the whole wheel when you get it rashed.

Don't just look at price. Look at longevity, customer service, and who uses good parts.

I have seen on many message boards were company X is what everyone loves and uses. But company Y makes a far superior product that will outperform company x any day of the week but you don't hear about it because of all the site praising (usually sponsors) of company x.

They are not "painted" from factory, they are polished aluminum with a clearcoat on them (okay, okay, I know it's paint, but you get my point). Hence the reason mine are now powdercoated, as the clear doesn't like most wheel cleaners. And for $75/wheel, I probably paid less than you did for paint.

And if you don't curb them, then there's no down time at all. EDIT: How long did it take for them to remove tires and paint wheels, remount tires? I had mine powdercoated/mounted/balanced in three days flat.

Anyway, good luck with sale, and good luck keeping the paint on those wheels in good shape. Truck looks good. On its way to looking like mine...imagine that.

My RPM transmission has performed very well. 35k and many, many passes at the track (1/8th and 1/4th mile passes).

However, when I was looking to get a built transmission I didn't know much about the local builders and many people have had issues having their trans. built locally on the TBSS forums. I am currently having Gerald build my 4L80E for my Camaro, and after speaking with him in person, I would not hesitate to have my trans in my TBSS built by Gerald in the future when it needs it.

Ive had a performabuilt apart before. I think it was Paul White's. Not impressive for the high price tag they command.

Edit to add Im pretty sure it was a peformabuilt that Gerald redid for Lorenz, I remember talking with Gerald about it.

They are not "painted" from factory, they are polished aluminum with a clearcoat on them (okay, okay, I know it's paint, but you get my point). Hence the reason mine are now powdercoated, as the clear doesn't like most wheel cleaners. And for $75/wheel, I probably paid less than you did for paint.

And if you don't curb them, then there's no down time at all. EDIT: How long did it take for them to remove tires and paint wheels, remount tires? I had mine powdercoated/mounted/balanced in three days flat.

Anyway, good luck with sale, and good luck keeping the paint on those wheels in good shape. Truck looks good. On its way to looking like mine...imagine that.

Who did the powdercoating on your wheels?

get the rears widened and run a bmw x5 rear tire and get them powercoated gunmetal, it would be sex-ay

Yeah they stripped, media blasted and coated them for $360 out the door. That included unmounting and mounting and balancing.

Sold! I had planned on going to my people, but they wanted $400 w/o the dismount and remount/balancing. Thanks for the input.

I was thinking a gunmetal or titanium color maybe. I have to order a few things before powdercoat though:bigthumb:

Marchant has a color called "BLACK MAGIC" that is pretty badass. Looks really blackish, but catches light and it's a gunmetal kind of color. Very cool

this one didnt have pink accents from what i could see. it was a guy driving it aswell (middle aged smaller built caucasion). plate was vettepwrd or something of the nature, definately cammed with exhaust.

i was just curious what he's putting down. i put atleast 3 cars on him from 30-90 on hwy78. i was on wastegate spring still 10psi.... atleast he wasnt a sore sport, gave me the thumbs up after he slowed down from his ricer fly by.

His TBSS does not have a cam. It just has full exhaust, intake, E-fans & tune.

cant wait to hear this one, if its the same guy. the situation was clean and clear. his lane was clear, mine was not, i hit redline in 3rd (90mph) shifted to 4th slammed the brakes (literally) to keep from hitting the buick in front of me and he flew by, the buick turned into the gas station and we ended up beside each other doing the speed limit, he gave thumbs up, i knodded and got on I26.

maybe he was giving me 3 cars headstart:bs:

He'll be here shortly...be patient. lol

different guy then, this one is definately cammed.

pretty sure it was white with OEM wheels, might have had some blue stripes or something.

i didnt pay much attention to "what" it was, all i knew is he wanted to play.

It's definitley NOT cammed, just like it's definitley not white with blue stripes.

lets hear what "really" happened? the car is broke now so its not doing crap....

there really is no point in arguing, we obviously have 2 different versions of the story, you'll say you came around me, and i'll say you didnt until i slammed the brakes. maybe you didnt realize i hit the brake.

i tried to buy the swap, you flaked on selling it. never made it past your door??

so if you never came around me then i did win, or wait, i'm confused now? without a doubt your front bumper was not even at my passenger door or i would have seen it, not to mention heard your truck.

i'll agree that it was a horrible race, and i'll give you credit for even hanging, the c6 vette i race does about as well as you and you weight what double him?

and as for putting my money where my mouth is, you dont want to do that even if the car was on the road. that day was wastegate 10psi with corked 2" testpipe to 2.25" catback, its now on 18psi with full 3" exhaust. not to mention the 185 wide tires i had spinning that day. it wouldnt be a good race now, i'm over 300whp compared to the 215whp i was at that day. maybe we'll catch each other again one day in a better situation and do it again.

and your truck definately sounds cammed, but i only heard it at idle for a second when my buddy turned his bike off.

We might have a cammed tbss on here that you can race if you want to see how fast a cammed one is.

03-08-2011, 03:09 PM
who made an excuse? car is broke, thats not an excuse, i even said maybe one day we'll go at it again, but i let him know in advance the car isnt the same as it was during the first go round, that way i dont get blamed for turning up the boost when i beat him again. i'm not an idiot either, i know from a dig he would beat me.

you need to go back and read what i said. You didn't even GET PAST THE BACK OF MY FRONT DOOR! I never was behind you at any point of that short race we had. the only thing that got my attention here is the fact that you are not telling the truth. I hate when people do that. I'M also a import driver i have 2 cx hatchbacks. one i'm driving now and the other will done in a few weeks i hope. i'll be glad to run you with the hatch at the track when its done. i'll be all motor tho. still should be a good race.

there has only been a handful of 300whp civics in charleston in the last few years, if yall raced on St james it was probably in 2nd gear only, there is NO way i'd go 90+ on st. james.. or anywhere else in GC. a stock lightning would most likely whip me until i get into 3rd gear when the "brick" effect takes place on the truck.

I cant verify his claims but it was red and from what I remember it had some sort of fender vents. IIRC it was also gutted. It definitely wasn't a high speed or long race (maybe 60ish from a dig) but he was surprised. Seemed like a pretty cool dude.
