If I remember correctly, he got sideswiped by some drunk kids last fall. He was parked. Car was written off, he did not keep it - too bad, it was a nice ride. Doubt that the car you saw was his, unless someone fixed it up and then crashed it.

Damn punks with stollen 5.0 rammed him from behind on 104 forcing him into the car ahead of him and sped off laughing and waving beers in their hands.

Last from what I heard was that some snatched it up at an auction, fixed it up and was running around coquitlam.

I saw it at ICBC again. This time its only up for salvage only--no rebuild. Does anyone have shawn's email address? I know the person who going to buy it and i have a few questions.

Hey Monstar, if you know the person that is going to buy it, do you know if they are going to part it out. There are a few parts that I may be interested in. Cheers.

ICBC says its only for up for slavage. So he cant rebuilt it. I talked to him today and he said he going to part it out. Let me know what parts you are intersted in and I will see if i can get them for you. I know he is taking the engine and nx kit to put into a probe. But everything is up for grabs. I already called about the suspension parts, a new int. parts and the alarm. I need to get a hold of shawn to see if he still has the transmitter for the alarm.

I would really like a functioning ash tray and front top strut mount perches. I am not sure if Sean had a functioning ash tray. He also had nice headers there, but I am too lazy to dig around my engine again. I might talk to Sean and see what he had there.

He had nice reverse indiglo gauges, but I think they were in MPH, SRD lower tie braces for the rear, and not sure may be even for the front. The car did have ABS, so you JP may be in luck. I also may be interested in the rear taillights if possible. Monstar, would you keep us updated? I'll try calling Sean this weekend. Cheers. Don't you guys feel like coyotes or something that saw a dead animal. I think the word is voulchers?

Also remembered that he had a nice Momo Race steering wheel and B&M short throw shifter. Cheers.
