I have owned this car since 2007, purchased from the second owner. I did the swap at 18K miles and simply don't use it enough to keep it, so I'm willing to sell it for less than half of my investment. In the words of my tuner, the car runs outstandingly, and it's not given me any problems. My loss is your gain.
As you may guess by the seats, the spring rates, the A/C delete and the dumps, this car is not for daily driving or a plush cruise. It's got loads of grip, instant acceleration, exemplary driver feedback and a thoroughly stiff chassis, exactly as I'd planned the build for. The car was built for street and track use, but I simply haven't had enough time and interest to get in track time before now, and I don't see that changing in the near future.
Included with the sale will be all of the documentation I've kept on the car.

The bad:
The driver side headlight cover came off. I am including a new pair with the sale, so the new owner can replace one and have a backup for the other.
The front lip and passenger side rear canard have taken some bumps and have some cracks in the carbon fiber. They're each about a '10-footer.'
There are some scratches and two tiny drilled holes on the interior plastics down low, just behind the driver's seat. You really have to be looking for them.
The hood will rub a very tiny bit on the driver side engine cover. Touch it up with some red once in a while if you care.
The rain guard for the hood is a squeeze, so I wouldn't recommend driving with it. I only use it for washing.
