Posting this for a fellow club member. Tempted to pick this up myself but no place to keep it. I'm sure this build was well north of $30k.

So here is why the car is currently half painted. I tapped Fritz(my front driverside wheel contacted his rear passenger side wheel) coming into hog pen at VIR in May 2012. You can see pictures in thread below. I put a new subframe in and had a body shop straighten the frame (ds rail) on the frame machine. Replaced the ds suspension components, header, and steering components. Work picked up significantly the last few years and I just don't have the time or motivation to finish it up. It currently needs a few things to be back on the track (wide wheels, alignment, windshield, front bumper and headlight covers installed, splitter fabricated, paint for front end of car). I'm sure there more little stuff that isn't listed. I put new OEM front fenders on as Ronin does not have their wide front fenders available. I started to flare them, but haven't got very far. Not hurting to sell it, but there aren't really any good tracks in Kansas(will be there 2-3 years) and work won't be slowing time any time soon (and after we leave KS, there is a good chance we could end up some where overseas that I can't take the car with me). Based off that, I wouldn't mind it going to someone who will get it back on track and enjoy it. Let me know if you have any questions. Build thread and majority of the details on the car here:
TweakIt Racing 93 LS1 FD Track car build
It ran a 2:05 at VIR on the old pavement in the last Time Trial I did there in 2011 the heat of the summer in July 2011. It was also the fastest Mazda at the Grassroots Motorsports Ultimate Track Car Challenge that year. I also have traqmate data from the last weekend I drove it in 2012 that shows 2:03's. I think with the car dialed in and the right driver, this is a sub 2 minute car at VIR
Before front-end damage:
