The car runs great, but shows some smoke through the exhaust--which is in part due to the fact that it is tuned rich, ready for high RPMs pushed by its oversized turbo. The DSM-link tuning software and laptop usb connector is included. and is sold as-is, no warranty. There is really only one small dent in the front right fender--the rest of the body is pretty clean. There are a couple of chunks missing from on the bottom plastic rocker panels--to be expected from normal gravel-rally use.

It runs great, right now. It HAS had various problems at races causing us to withdraw. In the last two races, the pressure built up at redline and blew off turbo hoses, which just needed to be hose-clamped back on--killing our time. A real bummer. I think that probably the best thing for the vehicle as it is would be to replace all of the turbo pipes with either custom hard-pipes, or single-length braided hoses (right now a couple of the key hoses have 3 sections)....other than that, the car is ready to roll.
The car is sold as-is, with no warranty. For pick up only (SLC UT) --no delivery.
