Price drop to $17,500. It's ready to go win races, just add lots and lots of gas, silly thirsty rotaries!

Still interested if my money ever shows up.
One dumb question, but what are you using for ECU? Is it stock or aftermarket? Assume no driver aids retained? (ABS etc)

ECU is Motec standalone. EVERYTHING stock has been removed. No ABS allowed in the class it is currently prepped for.

Still for sale. Had a flurry of interest here lately, but hasn't panned out yet... getting close to the start of racing season (and buy a boat season, just sayin')!

Price drop to $16,500.

Since it's unlikely that the buyer would need to comment here, this thread is closed.
