Description: I've been thinking long and hard about this for months, and I think its time to make it public and see what happens. I've been itching to get into something different for over a year now, and can't justify owning 2 toys. I bought the car fully stock in 2007 from my cousin, and it's been under my own care since. I dd, autox, and did track days with the car up until August 5, 2012, when I blew the motor while competing at the Global Time Attack at NJMP. The car has been rebuilt since that time. I have receipts for everything, and the car is running very very well. Details are as follows;

I'm sure I left out a few things here and there. This is an 03 and has been my daily driver for the last few years. Please don't expects to be buying a perfect car. I take a lot of pride in ownership however, and ensure the car is in great mechanical condition. The most recent track event I did was Summit Point; drove 4 hours there, did 4 sessions, and drover 4 hours home with absolutely no issues.

Important document! Will be addign receipts for the parts shortly.



Check my Flickr for other photos. There are quite a few pics I took during the rebuild. I have nothing to hide, so feel free to ask any questions.
