It looks like the fog light lenses are faded, the driver's seat has a wear hole and the trunk area is missing the insulation. Other than that it looks okay. Fog lights can be replaced with brake ducts, and the seat repaired....and insulation...that's just weight slowing it down. Now if I can just fit a baby car seat in between those bars.

I dont like it 
It looks like it has plenty of cheap stuff on and he is passing them as "mods" but in my view they are actually devaluating the car. Stock shocks with H&R springs , I bet money it drives like a brick as the shocks must be shot. Cheap "race seats", cheap rear monster spoiler( attrocious!!), cheap rollbar, cheap tires, cheap belts. From the description what worries me, besides the signs of been put together for sale so to speak, is the "new gaskets". Obviously the car was leaking to do that and God knows how much track time this car has seen... It could be nothing, but it could be valve guides etc and I dont see a top end rebuilt on the list of "mods". It makes me laugh when I read rotors less than 10000miles and I think that I had to replace a new set after only one club racing weekend...
At any rate, I DONT know the car, my gut feeling tells me its a can of worms and you can do much better than that....

On a race track, this car would be faster without the wing, without a doubt!

That "laundry rack" spoiler wing thingy has got to go.
Tools? Air compressor?
"No SAI/Valve guide issues (yet!) I'd rather buy one that has had this done. Otherwise you'll end up like me - my first "mod" was a top end rebuild to get it back to how it's supposed to be!
It has obviously been run very hard and tracked.
My $0.02.....

Is it only the pictures or does it look twisted to you guys as well? I wonder if it is straight and if the reason for the paint difference is only in the photos.. Wierd.
