Will get you some interior pics shortly, the newly built RMW motor only has about 1600 miles on it. The car shows 171k on the odometer. The exterior is mint, no dings or scratches.
I also have a set of black OZ’s w/o tires

The car is in Fairfield county area in a heated garage at my office.
I have a cat and a cat delete pipe that can be swapped out, it has V-band clamps, easy to swap out if your on the street or going to the track.

Thanks. Any chance of posting more interior pictures? I'd like to see how stripped it is. Also, how loud is it? Can you run at Lime Rock's 86 dB limit without modifications to the exhaust?

the interior is pretty much totally gutted, head liner, door panels & rear seat.
I left all the carpet in to help keep road noise down.
Obviously the dash is totally intact w/ airbag, I also have a spare dash top as my next project was to move the pro-comp gauges into the dash rather than on top.
Steering wheel is stock.
I never had a problem at Limerock until they had someone there actually checking db, then found out I was lightly over the limit so had to lift coming across the start/finish line for the rest of the day.

if you can deal with the stiff ride and the race seats, yes it can be a daily driver. Otherwise I might put some of the poly bushings back in and take out the stainless spherical bushings. I have a blast driving it to work on occasion but bumpy roads could get a bit noisy

The front lower control arm bushings and rear have been replaced with stainless bearings, no rubber at all, makes for superior steering/ turn in response.
RMW did the work.
i use the direzza's on the track, they work great when warmed up temp.
I have ave a set of OZ's w/o rubber Also.
