I’m sure a lot of people will be familiar with this car. I don’t really have the time to mess around with a 3rd car anymore. Too many other hobbies and responsibilities.
The car was professionally built by black forest motorsport in buffalo, NY. It has 163k on it now and went full stage 3 at 125k. All mods were installed at black forest. The car has been stored for my entire ownership (2.5 years) it has always been a 3rd car for me and I’ve only put 4k miles on it in that time. I have over $20,000 in receipts for work done going back to 2007 that will go with the car. (this does not include the majority of the stage 3 parts) Total investment between maintenance and upgrades totals well over $30,000 since that time.
The body is a bit of a mixed bag. It has a mint front bumper and the car has very few dings and scratches.
The negative is there are a few small surface rust spots and the trunk has rubber plugs from a deleted wing… The drivers door and the hood by the drivers side hinge are the rust areas. There is also some clear coat failure on the drivers side c pillar. This issues are mostly minor and the car looks great from a few feet away. The underside is very clean. Almost no rust underneath.
The interior is in more or less perfect shape.
The only major item that was taken care of during my ownership was the clutch. There was a stage 2 southbend installed that began slipping within 1k. I decided on a southbend steel lightweight flywheel and a southbend stage 3 clutch. Everything has been good since. I had the trans fluid done with OEM at the same time. I also added a Bluetooth audiovox media bridge to the OEM stereo.
The car is a strong runner and has always pulled hard. I just don’t really have time to mess with it anymore.
It’s currently on a Vast E85/93 tune with 80lb injectors from 2012. Would be a great candidate for a retune with ev14s. Currently having issues with the TBB blowing off under boost, just don’t have the time to tinker with it. Otherwise the car runs pretty perfect. I have only really run it on the E85 tune and have only switched to 93 to confirm that it works. Would probably be wise to trailer it instead of driving home because of these two issues. (Unless you’re within a few hundred miles.)
Car is located just outside of Niagara Falls, NY.

Full Disclosure:
- Driver’s side inside door handle sticks out a little. I think it needs a new spring. Still operational. (new part included)
