Efi live tuned, but it needed a retune when I sold it, let me know if there are other specifics, but this thing is bulletproof for the most. Sucks as a daily because it sits low and those revshift bushings squeal like pigs. I did run with lotus'es at the track no probem.

My first time tracking the car, not too many mods at the time. Looks slow but the back straight is a 75mph stretch in the V.

helluva deal

Creative Steel

That's a lot of car for the $15,000 he's asking

Even if the trans was hanging off the bottom of the car, it's still a steal at that price. If you're serious, offer him 13,750 outside of ebay. No protection from that site anyways and he won't have to pay fees.

$15k in parts on that car

Dmax/04V

She's ready for a maggie with the top end rebuild I did as well. Should hold decent boost all day, the short block is the weak link on that car (says something, that a strong piece is the weak link). Stock power level though so its golden.

Edit: I keep having to update the list as I remember more things haha.

I am working on it. I had a modded v1 and sold it miss that car so figured this is a good deal and had to be someone here or the other forum that no one visits anymore.

Dmax/04V

I miss that car, but my local mini course shut down and I never got to enjoy it anymore. I just dont have the time to drive to sebring to race... I thought about putting an offer on it but cant justify it.

slowdenali

brakes? anything done to the trans?

slowdenali

also did you do outer hubs with the 8.8?

Dmax/04V

Factory brakes, and factory outers. I couldn't break them haha.

Dmax/04V

Did you buy the car?

Wow, that was a real steal of a deal!

slowdenali

haven't bought it yet but I am working on it. How long ago did you sell it? If you want to pm me please do but if you don't mind me asking how much did you sell it for?

Dmax/04V

Sold the car in november, as for price it was a trade in so the numbers are skewed the way the deal was done.
