Full disclosure:

Car has a clean title and NEVER has been involved in any accidents whatsoever.

This car is close to a street/race set up you will see. Keep in mind because of this it's not a quiet car nor a luxury type ride. it's a super gokart.

I put polyurethane spacers in the tranny mount and motor mounts. the car has a loudish invidia exhaust, shrick cams n port/polished heads, bilsteins make the suspension pretty firm, ireland engineering rear sway makes noises due to it's design as well as the traction bars, and the lightened flywheel causes clutch chatter, stoptechs squeal when pads not warmed up. Even though i dampened the entire car it's still not that quiet and you get NVH being modded like it is. If you're expectations are anywhere of a car being close to stock do NOT come to see it. If you want to own a car that's just plain outright "done up" , handles better than many cars on the street and has a good amount of power for its tiny motor...run down and pick this beauty up!!!

2 dings on body. driver's side hood/fender. rear driver's side near gas filler.

minor chips/rash on aero bumper and some on hood from highway driving.

wear on driver's seat bolster.

some plastic wear from both door handles. the silver color wore off.

At times I will get a P0420 check engine code. I replaced the oxygen sensor with a Bosch universal sensor but I think it needs the oem style. My guess is due to the cam,heads,maf,ECU tune and higher flow injectors it's running rich and triggering the sensor. As a back up plan I will also include a Edge racing header and stock catalytic converter just in case. No charge.

This car is my daily driver and has been very reliable.
