The bad...

It was being built as a track car so most of the creature comforts have been left off, this can be viewed as bad or good depending on the use of the car.

- No AC or heat
-A few cracks in the dash, they could be fairly easily fixed.
- Car could use a dyno tune, runs rich up top, its still fast as hell and is fine for driving around on the streets. I can include an Innovate LM1 wideband if the buyer is tuner capable.
- Some of the cage welds are pretty bad, I was planing on redoing the cage as its doubtful it'll pass any major tech inspections though it would be fine for a street car
- Paint is in good shape but there are a couple of chips here and there, it was a drift car after all but it still looks good.

Notes on the steering mods...

A few notes; this was being built up to be a drift car, I recently began to work on the steering modifications needed for it to compete but this part of the car is still kind of a work in progress. A few plans if I was keeping the car was to remove the front sway bar and relocate the mounting point of the compression rod as they are rubbing the tires at full lock. I also planed on swapping in a power steering rack and pump as the steering is a bit heavy now the tie rod pick up has been moved closer to the center line of the hub. The current full lock is about 3/4 turn of the steering wheel, it is insanely quick steering. I'll offer a few options to the buyer of the car on this... If you plan on racing the car you may wish to keep the steering as is and continue to modify it, or if you plan to pick it up as a street car I can swap it back to new stock parts, its your choice but a lot of work has gone into working out the steering so far.
