I've been under this car before. Very cool parts on it and very cool car. 1.8 RMW stroker motor (NA) Vipec ecu. Lots of crazy expensive imported parts , Coilovers with external reservoirs, Dogbox gear set in a 6 speed. CAE shifter with cables routed internally for ground clearance. They do very well in their class from what I hear. My friend crews for them on races from time to time.

It's the classic strip everything possible, including plexiglass windows. It's not an S, but owner was thinking of adding a turbo. Full roll cage of course.

Hi Eric, long time no see!

Not driving, just doing Time Control and taking pictures, at the same time sometimes.
