Welp the time to downsize has come again. Below is the Car for sale. originally purchased and used for the grassroots challenge this past may. The car won its autocross class and was less than 3 seconds off the fastest auto cross of the day which was a GT4 porsche. it is a blast. The car does not have a title but one can be obtained. there is no judgement or anything against the car. Classic titles of Tennessee has already confirmed they can get one and its 275 dollars. i just dont have a need for an 8th registered car so i never did it. If i cant sell it, i will probably just title it and keep it.  

Here are the basics:

  • BP05 1.8 swap
  • Ebay turbo kit. (on 11psi it made 260rwhp, currently turned down to 9 psi and225rwhp)
  • speedy efi stand alone
  • torsen rear diff
  • dr16 drag wheels with new falken rt660 tires
  • new pads and rotors
  • coolant reroute to rear of cylinder head
  • hard dog roll bar
  • japanese import hard top and a like new soft top
  • near new battery
  • cheap no name coil overs

I do not know the miles or the history. but the car is a blast and takes a beating. it made 6 autocross passes and about 8 quarter mile passes during the challenge. it didnt skip a beat. best quarter was 13.5 @ 108mph. has more in it is just couldnt launch it. currently running open downpipe. i have a full exhaust but it needs a flange welded to the downpipe to accept it. 

I will also inclde a spare 5 speed transmission i have and a spare 4.3 type 2 torsen. Looking to get $5,000. 

Feel free to reach out with any questions or if you are interested!

Hmm... that might be a bit far for me. The pan handle is about as far as I go. 

Do you have a title?

 

Edit: Oops.. I missed it. 
 

Let me think about it...

I would think we could figure out a way to get it at least closer to you.

Well, as I tend to do sometimes, I'm in over my head with this one.  I've tried to do a track day with it, but there are teething issues that I don't have the skills to sort out. Mostly surrounding oil leaking and a little burning.  It's got stupid amounts of power, and handles incredibly well. Just more than I can deal with. It also now has the title.

 

Make me an offer, I just need to get it out of the driveway. I know I'm going to lose money on it, but if it goes to a grm family I'm good.

I just bought a turbo Miata from a different member here. You cannot possibly tempt me with yet another one!

Ahhh, so THAT'S why I had a problem wink.  Seriously, not a big deal whatsoever.  You were very clear in telling me about the car, and machines can break.  Nothing you could have done.  It's an amazing car when running properly!!!
