Hello NAM, my name is Nathan, and I think the time has come for me to sell my R56. Actually, an opportunity came up for me to upgrade, so I'm trying to sell it fairly quickly. I bought it in July of 2016 at around 54k miles. Now it has about 68550 miles, and I've done a few things to it since I bought it. Unfortunately, about 4k miles after getting tuned, (~61k miles) cylinder #2 leaned out, misfired, and dropped piston #2's ringlands. We ended up putting CP (9.5:1) forged pistons in to replace all 4 pistons, and kept the OEM connecting rods. We used new King connecting rod bearings in place of the OEM ones, and ARP connecting rod cap bolts. Replaced the main crank seal and haven't had a leak there since the build. We also walnut blasted the head while it was off of the engine. Last thing we did was replace the timing chain and guides. A few more little things listed here:
-Wagner Intercooler
-Mario Palza (mQuebed) Catless Downpipe
-Megan Coilovers
-2nd Cat Delete
-LED Halo Fog Lights (not installed)
-RallyArmor Mud Flaps

I think that's all I have done to it in the time that I've owned it. It's been my daily for the past year an a half, and it occasionally will throw a misfire code on some Cold Starts. Doesn't affect power or driving dynamics, and is normal with forged pistons on cold starts. FYI it is an auto since it was my first car. Still have all OEM parts if interested. Asking $9,000, or best offer.

If you have any questions about the car, go ahead and call or text me at (304)-288-4595. I'm located in Fairmont, WV for your reference.
