EVERYONE - I'M JUST GIVING AND THROWING THIS SILLY ROTARY STUFF AWAY. PEOPLE WHO KNOW ME SHOULD COME OVER HERE AND GET SOME OF IT.

Chris (Kai) came over two weeks ago and left with a packed FC, completely full. More people should try this.

Interior is in great shape, door dings on the doors and a small dent on the rear pass quarter panel (not really visible due to the exterior color and size/shape/location of the dent unless you get up on it).

Debating on parting it out or selling it as a whole, just trying to get rid of all the extra **** in the driveway and recoup the cost of buying the motorcycle...which looks something like:

I can take pictures, I'll have to wash it a few times

Everything that's in it:

ACT S/S clutch/PP w/5k on it
MicroTech LT-8
TurboXS BOV and DSMBC (with interior toggle switch, unwired)
IIRC, I have a new slave cylinder and stainless steel line, maybe the master too.
3" DP/MP (thunderfabrications, one piece).
Apexi N1 exhaust
Still have the S5 ECU in a box
Full tank of gas That pissed me off the most I think


Then of course, all the bits and pieces of a 91 Turbo with every option like the hatch cover, all the leather, perfect dash and interior bits/etc.

Pretty firm on the price, if anyone knows of anyone looking for a good platform, just let me know. Of course, if they offer more, I won't refuse (hey, jacket and helmet was ******* expensive! )

and so the saga continues
the FC's junkyard trans didn't hold up
so it's been up in Stuarts Draft for over a week now
the trans shop finally pulled the tranny and took a look
the 1st to 2nd synchro totally grenaded and some of the berrings are shot as well
this time I'm going for the rebuild - thats what I get for going cheap last time
the FD should be going in for paint and body work as well this week and then directly into the Autotrader

It is a lot of fun, it is taking some getting used to though. Having 300 ft. lbs of torque at just over 2k does not quite seem right in this car...!
I still have some stuff to take care of before I can autocross it, tires, new spring for front driver side shock, and I need to tie down the battery.

I will take some pictures tonight and post them up here tomorrow.

Niburu rode in it Sunday, what did you think?!

That was FUN!!! the looks on peoples faces was priceless.
You have no idea of the power of the darkside.
Which rearend is in that thing? you definetly have traction issues (wish I had that problem) I was think a torsen rear or a KAAZ racing diff might cure that plus better tires
The quality of the build is very good, you definetly took your time to do it right.
And like I said before I think the Racing Beat springs would be a good fit for that setup.
I really don't see any issues doing the V8 swap into FC's since there are so many of the NA ones out there. FD's I would take issue with because of their rarity and you have the same amount of power as an LS1 anyway.
I'd love to see a final tally of the build cost when you're done.
Well my FD goes in for paint and bodywork today, I'll let you all know if they do a decent job or not - cause the price was awesome.

Haha, aight, let me get some decent tires on it and we will have at it...!

Niburu, It is a stock TII rearend, the 4.10 ratio does not help with traction but it ends up working well in the top gears, 6th gear ratio is .5 so I can cruise at 60mph and only be turning 17-1800 rpm.
