have lots of pictures if anyone interested. Forgot to add that it has a Fuel Surge Tank as well to get away from the fuelling issues in long left hand corners.

Paul-Nice ride with nice upgrades. I'd love to know why you're selling (and no, I'm not in the market for one right now).



Also, do you happen to know the guy who posts on Jalopnik.com with the handle allenparkpete? He's very smart and I think may work in the auto industry (to be as vague as I can).

Getting married next year and am supposed to be saving some money.....:(&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;am sure she's worth it.... can always build another car later.

PS: Sorry don't know Allenparkpete but I do work in Allen Park....

Estimated HP?

Any recurrent issues (intermittent short, etc.?).

Where did you do the track days & what were your times?

[pshipp]

Talking to Woody at MSI with this set up he estimated around 165-170hp, has adjustable cam pulleys so retarded the intake a couple of degrees to help at the higher rpms a little.



Have been to Waterford Hills and Grattan. No times from Grattan but ran low 1:16s at Waterford with a passenger in the car....





Have had 3 fastest times at Auto-crosses in the area out of the 5 I have attended.



Have had no reliability issues and have run 2500 road miles this year with the car. Being a 2004 it has the much improved wiring system....
