Heeding the advice of our financial advisor, my dream car needs to go in order to help pay off grad school loans. I have owned many cars of many types (Evo, S2000's, Miata, M3, 911...) and this car ticks ALL of the boxes (relatively rare, reliable, exotic, open air, nimble and fast!). If you're seriously considering one of these I don't need to mention power-to-weight ratios, but to put this car's speed into perspective, 300whp in a 1,900lb. car is in Lamborghini Gallardo territory... with plenty of head room! Current boost level is 12psi, capable of 20psi and 475hp!This car has been heavily modified with only the best parts available. The car needs nothing to be an absolute blast of a weekend driver and/or track toy. I recently flushed the oil, coolant, brake and clutch fluids. Coolant was flushed using a Uview Airlift so there aren't any air bubbles in the system. Brake and clutch fluids were pressure bled using a Motive Power Bleeder (pics available). The only item I had on the docket left to do to this car was upgrade the brake discs and pads.I have receipts for just about all major ticket items. For a complete list of items, I have a spreadsheet that I can share that's easier to read. $21k in the engine.$16k in other performance partsEngine:Built Toyota 2ZZ (300whp on 93 octane; revs to 9,000rpm)Monkey Wrench Racing (MWR) Cylinder Head w/Stage 3 cams, stainless valves, Ti springs & retainersMWR Sleeved Block (Bored & Honed to match pistons)MWR Crower Connecting RodsWiseco 10.5:1 82.0mm pistonsMWR Rod BearingsMWR APR main stud kitMWR Main BearingsMWR Thrust Bearingsnew front main sealnew timing sealnew gaskets everywhereMoroso/MWR oil panRadium Auto Fuel Rail, Surge Tang w/Walboro FST and FPRInjector Dynamics 1,000cc injectorsRadium Auto cast turbo manifold with brand new (<300 miles) heat wrap, mounted using ARP studs and nutsnew piston oil squirtersAEM EMS Series 2 Engine Controller (tuned at DB Performance conservatively at 12psi)Garrett GTX2867R 475HP Dual Ball Bearing Turbo, built with APR components (<300 miles) w/3" V-band exhaust housingVolcanic turbo heat blanketTial external waste gateTial Blow Off ValveAN water and oil line fittingsCooling:Radium Auto Dual Catch cansRadium Auto Coolant Expansion swirl tank with Cosworth high pressure capSector111 OneCooler and coolant lines/fittingsType 2 Water To Air Intercooler kit with pull fan, Bosch water pumpSector111 all-aluminum radiatorRadium Auto oil and water linesGeneral Performance:Black Watch Racing x Penske double-adjustable coiloversBlack Watch Racing adjustable sway barSector111 toelink kitSector111 DsbraceSector111 SportinsertsBlack Watch Racing x Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 wheels (16x7 17x9)Bridgestone RE71 tires (205's 245's)Quaife limited slip differentialACT XTSS Street clutchMWR forged steel ultralight (8.8lbs.) flywheelTrueleo LETSLA shift kitSSC shift cablesJubu Racing 3rd & 4th gear upgrade (harder, longer) + full synchrosLow-tush front splitterHawk HPS padsLug to Stud conversionSector111 stainless brake lines + QWKBleed front linesHeavy stainless steel shift knobShifter braceDifflow 5-element diffuserEXHAUST:custom Ticon Industries/7th Gear Fabrications full 3" titanium exhaust (<10 lbs.), V-band connection(or)custom stainless exhaust with Borla ProXs twin tip exhaust (quiet), V-band connectionLotus 3-hole gauge clusterInnovate Oil Pressure & Temp gauge (programmable - includes cable)AEM Serial Multigauge (programmable)AEM A/F Ratio gaugeECU map switch on shift consoleECU data logging switch on shift consoleOther:Radium Auto Modular Rear Clamshell kit (takes about :15 to remove rear clam)HID headlightsTransforged rare carbon fiber mirrorsLotus Elise Cup R wing (currently removed, holes filled with brass fittings)will include GTX2863R tune maps (12psi + 16psi)will include GTX2867R tune maps (12psi) Cosmetic condition:Driver's door looks to have been hit with an errant door opening and poorly touched up. It's never really bothered me enough to do anything further with it. Pics available. There is some rash at the bottom, front of the rear fenders, which is common wear areas for these cars considering the rear track ad fenders are wider than the front. Pics available.It still has the original Starshield on it, but it does have what I'd call normal pock-marks in it, but no significant chips in the paint. Pics available.The previous owner had wrapped part of the sides of the car with a black accent. I removed it because I thought it was 'tacky'. Along the edge of where the wrap was, there's a fine raised line that is only noticeable until you're within a few inches of the car. I was meaning to have a professional detailer look at it to see the best way to remove it, but never got around to it. I much rather just drive it :)The trunk lining was removed for easy access to the bolts that are part of the clam kit.
