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.

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.
