Hi guys,I think after nearly 2 decades spent dodging cones its time to move on(never really give it up of course,just less priority)so the scratch built car needs a new home.
I built the car to fit our previous rules plus be safe for track duty so its overweight for a true a-mod but still a blast to drive.Car is approx 900lbs,megasquirted yamaha R1,has an 81" wheelbase and uses all miata 1.6 uprights,brakes and diff/half shafts(makes it easy for replacement parts).With the megasquirt in place the turbo I have for additional power is a fairly straight forward install,included with sale along with all spares,wings,springs fresh Avons on 13x8 keizers etc etc.
I've set FTD at every single event its attended since its 1st in sept 2010,hard to set a value for these things but I feel the $6500 cdn I'm asking isn't out of line for a sorted and ready to run car this quick.For interested parties I can provided detailed info,no point wasting space here.
Some pics,vids.

Its a fast car. If I had the money I'd probably buy it.
Wow, I'd snarf that thing up really quick.

Thanks mike,I'd entertain a partial trade option for say a gutted miata.

I had asked about this car last fall. I am very interested. What is the exchange rate at this time. I live in Green Bay, Wi. You can contact me at bha57@yahoo.com
Thanks, Bud Anderson
Viking, the latest quote for $C to $US is 98.81 cents, so it's about as close to parity as you're going to get. Of course, the smaller your local bank, the bigger the fees involved in such an outlandish transaction. You might definitely want to consider just bringing US dollars into Canada and letting a Cdn bank handle it, because, believe me, (a) they see US currency every day and (b) the fees will be EXTREMELY reasonable compared to what you would pay at home.

Indeed. Even if the car is really well priced, it is above the limit for these classified. I'll say it again: racingjunk.com
Crap I'm sorry,I guess I don't read well-I just thoght it was general classifieds being the only one listed.
It's not your fault. It's just that nobody on this site has more than $2012.

That and racingjunk is just about the most annoying website in the universe meaning it's universally ignored.
In reply to Adrian_Thompson:
Yeah, I really wish there was a place here to advertise anything like there used to be. I hate Racing Junk, and stopped going there a long time ago.
I wanted to do a site like that. Just race cars for sale. Very small listing fee/commission paid in order to run the site. Just wondering if it'd be worth my time and effort...
Well, there's www.race-cars.com
No affiliation and no idea what their fees are, but I'd guess you can find some for sale there.

I'll admit that I never look at racingjunk. I was pimping the site because they support GRM. I figured that some of you guys with more money than me might use it.
Wow more interest in a proper classifieds section than my car.
Oh well,car continued its perfect ftd record yesterday besting a FAE car at the event for testing.

I went to racing junk,yeah not going to bother with that again.
I love your car but don't have space for a race-only car right now. It's really sweet and your price seems more than reasonable.
