Mileage: 41,xxx

I bought the car on Jan 13th from the original owner in CT and drove it back to Chicago. They didn't salt in CT so it has no rust like seen typical 2004 cars in Chicago. It barely saw our chicago winter conditions (minimal driving in winter) so it's in great cond still!

I've done a ton to this car to make it a roadrace track beast and it would be fantastic for an autocross guru as well!

- Powerslot front rotors (just installed)
- goodridge SS lines front and rear

Engine:
-------------

- Stage 1 ECU
- MSD ignition Wires (red)
- AEM CAI (soon to have brand new air filter)
- NKG spark plugs just replaced
- Boomba Motor mounts
- Bwoody Trans mount

Exhaust:
------------
- SS downpipe w/blockoff plate (forgot brand)

Interior:
------------

- OMP race seats and brackets custom installed to fit (both front seats yes)
- G-Force 5-pt 2007 dated belts (current belts)
- driver still has factory seat belt usable as well

Exterior:
------------
- Carbon-by-design Carbon Fiber hood (vented)
- 3 sets of wheels n tires (snows, race and street)
- front driver fender damanged from tirewall kiss on memorial day
- front repairable damage to bumper cover

"I bought the car on Jan 13th from the original owner in CT and drove it back to Chicago. They didn't salt in CT so it has no rust like seen typical 2004 cars in Chicago. "

I thought CT stood for Connecticut. Most cars dealers here have lifetime powertrain warrantees since the body is only good for 5 years of the salt and sand. I can't see how IL could possibly be any worse.

yes, CT for Connecticut

It was only sand in the area of CT from the Prev Owner.. and she didn't drive it in bad weather anyway so that was a bonus for me.

maybe she only drove it within a mile or two of one of the many reservoirs around here

I'm curious, do you know why the roll bar builder took the extra step to put a hole and weld in the tub at the hoop-crossbar gusset. It looks interesting...in a good way.

He did it because he wanted to try it I guess... I never asked why... I thought it looked cool though... lol ( I remember him saying about 'wanted to try this out' but that's all I remember.. sorry)
