This is it guys. Here is my baby. I would love to keep her but I got to let her go.
The bad: This car is not a super model. If I had to rate its appearance I would give it a 6/10. The paint is faded in some spots, there is rust in others, the interior is ok, the dash is cracked, the two front speakers have been removed, the seats are worn, etc. And that’s ok with me because I don’t really like cars that I like I have to worry about.
The good: My goal was to make a bullet proof car. And I succeeded. I spent a considerable amount of time, effort, and MONEY making sure no matter what I threw at this car, it could handle it. Whether you want to drift, autocross, track, street, etc. this car can do it. Everything that could break has been replaced with either a brand new component or a refurbished component. I will let the list speak for itself. The only weak points I was not able to take care of was the T50 and the e-brake cable. I bought a T50 that was in good shape, but it’s a T50. The e-brake cable I never got around to changing. That’s about it. You can buy this car, confidently drive it 1500 miles, drift the crap out of it, and drive it 1500 miles back. That’s how awesome this car is.
