Did you wreck your 6spd in Chicago? I have your car!

First post here. I just recently picked up a rebuilt 2011 sport with the manual transmission. The car was modified and obviously owned by an enthusiast, so I'm hoping he still hangs out here.

Here's where what it looked like when the prior owner bought it "Auto Show Case" in Carol Stream, Illinois:



It had 50k miles and was listed for about $23,000.

The owner then added tint, coupe wheels, removed the clutch spring, and some intake and exhaust mods.
But an unfortunate fender bender in Chicago resulted in the insurance totalling it. In part due to the fact that the passenger side air curtain deployed. Infiniti requires the module and satellite sensor to be replaced any time a bag is blown.



Ram Auto Sale in Toledo picked it up from the insurance auction, fixed it up and then sold it to me for a ridiculously low price. You know because the of the undesirable manual trans, lol.



I've since removed the plastidip from the rear (left it on the front), reinstalled the clutch spring, and installed the blown curtain airbag.

I'm surprised there was no frame damage. Great find!! MT G's are difficult to find, and highly desired by those who know.
