The car perfect balance between a light duty street car and a bullet proof HPDE/Track Car. The car has strong power, excellent brakes and handles very well with great predictability & feel. It runs all day long with low oil temps, consistent water temp and is very easy on brakes and tires. The extensive spares listed for this car will ensure little or no downtime at any track weekend. The car was built for reliability, with everything but the exhaust and Conforti ECU chip being Spec E30 legal. The car needs very little to go Spec E30 (I can provide a list) or easily be converted back to stock seats (no holes drilled for any seat or belt mounts thanks to the VAC mounts) and have a great street car that can do dual duty for track or autocross.

Due to having a LeChump car now, lacking weekends to run this (will only run this at CMP June 6/7 this year) and the desire to get back into autocross, this needs to stop sitting and go to someone who will use it. Clean title in hand. I have owned the car since March 2013.

Car will be at Carolina Motorsports Park this weekend (6/5-6/7) for anyone in the area that wants to inspect it. The car otherwise located in Matthews, NC just outside of Charotte.

Thanks gentlemen :) Just completed my last track event in the car. I had my first mechanical in the car when a stainless steel brake line got completely severed from debris. Really odd, but it happened when the car was 75% of the way through the braking zone, so the car didn't leave the pavement. New stainless steel lines going on tomorrow. - AB

This is a super nice car. If I didn't have a track car, I would buy this.
