Description:

Hey Guys-

Putting a feeler out to sell my baby. I love this car but my wife is pregnant again and we just moved to an insanely overpriced house, so... I think it's time to say goodbye :(

I just had it built and tuned last year by the legendary Jan himself on-site in LA at RMW. Rebuilt engine/TVS900/E85 kit have around 3K miles on them. I wanted this car for the last 10 years so it really hurts to have to sell her. 

Car has 89K miles, no accidents. Excellent condition overall. Tons of mods, all very tasteful. Please contact me for details if you are interested. 

OE Features:

HK Stereo, Xenon headlights, Slicktop, OE Floor mats

Engine mods:

RMW built 1.62L Engine (RMW Pistons, Rods, etc)

  • RMW Custom Mahle Motorsports 77.5mm pistons w/grafal coating
  • RMW forged connecting rods w/ ARP 2000 3/8" rod bolts
  • King Main bearings and Race rod bearings
  • RMW oil baffle
  • new oil pump
  • Cometic head gasket, seals
  • new timing chain, chain guides and tensioner.
  • New factory rockers.
  • Hot tanked, bored, honed, balanced and professionally assembled. 
RMW Big Valve Head
RMW Dominator Camshaft
RMW Street Header mated to Milltek Resonated Exhaust
RMW installed Harrop TVS900 Supercharger kit
RMW Billet Tensioner Arm for TVS900
RMW installed Link G4+ Standalone ECU
RMW installed E85 kit (fuel pump, fuel lines, injectors, etc.)
RMW Installed ported intake manifold w/ RMW spacer/gasket
RMW Tuned
ATI SuperDamper +2% crank pulley
AEM Water/Methanol Injection kit (Boost controlled, utilizes headlight washer reservoir)
OEM LSD Installed
M7 Intake
New Clutch (Southbend Stage 2)
VIP Racing engine brace
Powerflex transmission mount inserts
Powerflex Lower Engine mount inserts
New upper + Lower engine mounts (OEM)
M7 heat shield
Aluminum coolant expansion tank
New OEM Intercooler
DDMWorks Intercooler Air Diverter

Suspension:

Powerflex lower control arm bushings
Whiteline 19mm adjustable rear swaybar w/ poly bushes
New inner/outer ball joints
New OE rear trailing arm bushings w/ powerflex poly inserts
OE Sport springs w/ New Bilstein B4 Shocks all around (surprisingly tight / stiff and very comfortable)

Others:
17x7" Konig Control wheels in powdercoat
New Hawk HPS brake pads
New stoptech rotors all around
Fairly new Firehawk Indy 500's all around (~1K miles)
Bluetooth receiver wired to OE HK stereo
Megan racing short shift kit
Mechanical boost gauge
Cup holder Phone mount
Tint all around
Almost all exterior chrome blacked out
New OEM Tail lights (replaced due to fade)


I didn't put it on the dyno but Jan estimated around 280-300WHP on e85, around 260WHP on Gasoline. Car is super reliable, starts right up, and runs very smooth. You can run either 91 Gasoline or E85 and the ECU automatically tunes for the ethanol level. The ability to run gasoline is extremely convenient for long drives (range is better with gasoline) or if you can't make it to a station that sells e85. Jan really knows what he is doing!

I included some pics, please contact me if you are interested or if you have any questions.

Nice build and congrats on the new baby!

off topic. But the e85 kit? You mentioned ecu will know when it’s e85 or regular gas? Is that from the kit or the Stand alone ecu?

Would you be willing to do a partial trade? I have a 06 r53 and 13k? Or a flat trade for a 2011 BMW 335is?
