The paint on the car is kinda meh. The roof is pretty oxidized, lots of rock chip on the front fender and bumpers. It is a track car, if you do a wet track day it happens. Most of the paint does shine up pretty well though. There is a dent above each rear wheel from too much fender rolling, can be fixed. Trunk has a couple dents from something falling on it. The exterior has some smaller dings and chips, nothing crazy but it is a 1993 so normal damage for a car that old I guess. This is not a show car by any stretch of the imagination, but looks pretty good from 15 feet away. I have always been more concerned about how it works rather than how it looks.
The swap is very clean, I removed all unnecessary wiring form the engine harness, then extended it to mount the ECU under the passenger seat. The engine harness is powered by its own fuse block and is completely standalone from the chassis harness short of a trigger wire for the relays on the fuse block. This is a fast, well sorted car. It needs nothing other than your favorite set of track tires. It is always one of the fastest cars at a track day. I won my last hillclimb, fastest door slammer at that event too. It is pretty darn good as an auto-x car as well. The car handles well, brakes hard, and in general behaves how you want it to. If you drive it neat and tidy the rear end will stay in line and hook up. Dive it too aggressively and the rear end will slide around. It is a good driver’s car. Coolant and oil temperatures are same and consistent on track and the street. Motor doesn’t smoke or consume oil, trans shifts well when you warm it up (fluid I use doesn’t like being cold). I have never not finished an event with this car, never a mechanical DNF. Not a car you spend more time wrenching than driving. It runs on pump gas and is just an easy car to maintain. You cannot consistently go this fast for cheaper than this car. I am really going to miss this car, but it’s time for me to move on.
Asking price $18,000 No I won’t take 12k for it, and please don’t tell me I’m asking too much or it isn’t worth that much. If you understand what’s in this car it is a smoking deal at that price. I will consider reasonable offers but don’t insult me please. Car is located in Bend Oregon. I will help the buyer any way possible, ride from airport, help facilitate shipping, or even trailer the car part of the way to you.

Figured I should put up some lap times for those interested in what the car can do. Keep in mind these times are on less than fresh Nitto NT-01's
2:05 up Maryhill Loops hillclimb
1:59 at Oregon Raceway Park, could go a few seconds faster now that rear end is solid
1:42 at Gingerman Raceway
