    -front subframe replaced along with the oil pan with good used parts, with Turner subframe reinforcements welded in.


    Things to be addressed:
    -Fan only works on highest setting. I just never got around to messing with it
    -Muffler rattles against the rear valence, one of the metal hangers broke off. Needs to be spot welded back on
    -Rip in the taint area of the Recaro SRD
    -Mtech1 steering wheel has some flaking on the left hand side, needs new emblem
    -Couple cracks in the dash in the common spots. Not bad though. I've had and seen much worse
    -Some rust on the rear valence, back side. While we're at it, rear valence is a bit wavy, but its so dumped in the rear you cant tell really
    -Driver side front Koni adjustable is blown
    -Needs diff mount bushing
    -Some scratches and a couple little dings that can be pulled
    -A/C doesnt work. Havent even touched it, no clue whats wrong. Probably simple.
    -Needs some wax love to bring out the shine again. Has some flaking clear coat on the fenders
    -Needs more GC needle bearings. Ive never been able to keep a set of these fuckers more than a few months without them essploding on me. Whatever. Doesnt effect driving

    Updated 4/29
    Car comes extra with:
    Rear rotors, good used fan clutch and blades, ambient temp sensor from Red Rocket Labs (gg), and a hefty coating of pollen and dust from leaving the sunroof open at work during the day.


    This car is track worthy and road worthy. Pulls hard, really smooth. Rides like its on rails. Ive been driving this car back and forth to work. I have a spare E30 I'm working on, and another project car, and a new house, and some business ventures. Just looking for cash. Was going to give it to my step dad so he can give the M5 a break from the track, but he bought a fucking Mini Cooper. Smh. Anywho.

    $3,000 or best reasonable offer
    Located in downtown Nashville, TN.
    PM or Email works for me. Willing to drive half to meet someone maybe. Title in hand. Wouldnt hesitate to drive this car across country. I brought it home from Indianapolis in the dead of winter after it had been hibernating and its been pretty much flawless in my ownership. If you've seen me post about my shit, or seen pictures of my shit, or know me. I dont fuck around when it comes to my vehicles. Everything is as described and in good working shape within reason for a 20 year old car.

    I dont have any spectacular shots of this car other than phone pictures. More pictures upon request. Here are some photos from its lifetime. Some more recent than others.

          No trades.
          I also want to mention that the hood on the car needs to ultimately be replaced. Its got a place on the front that is almost rusted through. About a quarter inch. Its been touched up with paint but the hood is rusty. Its the worst part of the car.
          But hey, its an OEM looking track rat. And for 3 grand, you're getting your moneys worth.

            The downpour washed the car this past weekend.

                Any more pics of the interior and of the rust hole on the hood?

                And how far would you be willing to drive? It is about 6 and half hours for me to Nashville, but I would want to get a local to check the car out for me first (no offense or anything, just want a third party opinion).

                    Its hailing and storming outside today.
                    Id be willing to drive a few hours out I suppose. Keep in mind, I'll have 2 gas tickets to pay for just to do it though. Someone has to follow me.

                    Feel free to contact someone to come check it out.

                    This has been a track car. Expect things to be dirty and not perfect.

                              Heres a few more photos I just took since it stopped raining. The hood is the worst part of the rust on the car that I've found.


                              This looks like a hood bump stop with JB weld smeared around it and painted. Looks tacky, but doesnt leak. In fact, the trunk doesnt leak at all that I've seen. See below for the pictures after a massive southern hail/wind/rain storm for the past week. NO water in the trays.

                              Wavy valence, starting to rust on one side. Salvagable


                              This looks worse than it is. No rot, just surface gritty rusty residue on the trunk panels. I bought the trunk panels seperate and they had a little rusty residue on them. Metal is fine.

                              Clear coat peeling on the fender on the passenger side, some on the door as well by the trim.

                              Mileage.
