Notes
Car is super stiff and obviously loud with the intake and the brake pads. Was used for NASA HPDE which is a great environment to learn to drive in. Never in an accident but the car was repainted by the previous owner, no idea why. I'm the second owner and I bought it back in 2013 from carmax. Hood has rock chips because of track days. The Ron Davis radiator sprung a leak and a new OEM one was installed in its place. AC runs cool, car runs perfect.


Extras that come with this car:
Exterior pieces
Spare set of Enkei Racing RPF1 wheels with old tires. Wheels are in perfect condition, no bends or cracks.
Spare set of brand new Raybestos ST43 pads, front and rear.
Interior pieces:
OEM steering wheel with airbag
OEM door panels for front and rear doors.
OEM interior body trim.
OEM center console trim and e-brake handle cover.
OEM Bose speakers and tweeters
I'll be sure to update this post with anything else I find that goes with the car.
