This car has received so much attention more so than my old show car subie which had more invested into it. I went a bit over board with my old bug eye and started to get more attention from the wrong crowd. So my intention with this FD was too keep it as streetable visually as possible. I wanted a simple and clean car but still be aesthetically appealing. Although the car isn't perfect it only has minor defects with paint or interior which I'll go into more detail shortly. The car has made 425whp on a 40R and supporting mods (please see mod list below) tuned by Enzo Racing. For those of you not familiar with Enzo, he's the primary tuner for 2 of the top rotaries in the NYC area both running 10 seconds or better. Enzo also has tuned and built his brother's car with a stock JDM motor to run 9s (STOCK MOTOR!!!!). The motor never needed a rebuild!!!
With that being said I'm only selling my pride and joy because I can't share my hobby with my family. I'm looking for a trade for a comparable car with the ability to add a child seat in the rear. OR an outright sale around $23,000. I would be interested in a M3, 996, STI or EVO...etc.
The bad: I have one ding from taking the car to work a few times (big mistake). I would be happy to repair the damages if I get close to asking. Wheels have some road rash. Interior CF vinyl is starting to peel. And lastly the driver side door panel has a piece of the plastic broken from closing the door. It can not be seen and can only be felt when closing the door. Other than that the car is flawless hence my asking price.
