was wondering where your RX8 was, very nicely prep’d track car for someone

tempting, but no place to keep it.

 

Very interested if you still have this when my commission gets paid out in a few more weeks.
I want to wish you GLWS but kinda not.

 

Looks like an awesome build! GLWS!

 

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.

 

Sale pending to a friend!

 

Is this car still for sale? I ahte to be that guy, but would you separate some of the spares?

 

I apologize, I forgot to update this thread.

It is SOLD, with allllllll spares, to a buddy of mine, should be at the Kentucky hillclimb in a couple of weeks.

How do I mark the thread as sold?
