I would love to pick this up myself, it's local to me (maybe 20 mins away), but I already have a project. Someone get it!

Somebody ran low on oil.......Cue SF1 in three, two.......one.

That is a mighty nice shell.

New turbo? Look for evidence of a boost controller.

Not that it matters at this point, since the motor is toast.

That looks to be a super nice starting point.

So... just how hard is it to get one of these running again?

Only known example of a broken F2T!

Damn that looks nice. I have 2 or 3 of everything needed to fix it. Why does it have to be so far?

Nope, I blew one of those engines up fairly well years ago. I still have the baggie of crank bearings in the garage. They looked like potato chips, but thinner.

I'm sure Swank has an extra motor or 5 laying around.

Shh. Don't encourage me. Seriously. One of these would probably make a KILLER rallycross car.

Not a scientific measurement, but there's enough suspension travel to scrape the stock mudflaps on the pavement.

You are all the worst bunch of enablers I've ever seen or encountered.

If I didn't own 8 cars right now, I'd buy this.

However... if somebody had a trailer and was driving past there and thinking of heading through Raleigh, let me know.

I would love it if someone on here got this...not too many GRMers local to me, so a cool car from around here going to someone on GRM would be awesome!

I bet the motor died because the turbo died.

Swapping in a new motor should take about 8 hours. Less if you're cool with removing dumb crap permanently.

So you're saying in a weekend I could have an awesome turbo charged fwd torque steer monster for about a grand?!?!

Man I need a house and a garage...

Yeah... it takes me about 2.5 hours to remove a motor and trans without taking any shortcuts. Pretty straightforward.

Man...this ain't gonna happen for me, but it's fun to dream! Somebody get this thing!

Pretty sure this is still available. I looked on car-part.com and found motors from $400 -$900 all day long. Man I want this thing but I have nowhere to put it and I can't convince the wife to let me get another non-running project.

Screw that lol. Just grab an n/a block out of the local u-pull-it for $150 and make more power.

Haha, no, that would go very badly for me. As cool as these cars are it's definitely not worth it. I will have one someday...
