Yeah, it's time. $3500 for GRMers & we can work out the receipts to keep it Challenge friendly.
The build thread is here. The FB marketplace listing is here for way more money.
The reasons I'm selling are 1.) I hate working on cars, 2.) I've realized that I just don't enjoy autox like I used to, nor find it a good value of my time/money, 3.) that means I don't have any use for a non-running car, that I'll unlikely ever finish, just taking up space in the garage.
The only possible trade I'd consider would be a 1999-up Tracker/Vitara 2-door, 4wd, automatic, with A/C. Bonus points if it's already setup to be used as a toad.

Just want you to know that I'm ignoring this and it's taking a lot of effort.

Point #1 is a given for 90% of us....

Good thing you don't currently own any vehicles I'd want.
Man I wish you had posted this 6 months ago before I bought that stupid Saab

Actually I might consider trading for one of those too. The car, just to be 100% clear.
If I bought this back I think my wife would question my sanity. And I'd have to beg Pete to drive 3 hrs north to help me tune it.
In reply to AnthonyGS (Forum Supporter) :
Oh I don't know anything about that! Fortunately another forum member helped me remotely, though it's tuned conservatively for now.
Edit: and towing it up to you is certainly a possibility.

I would buy this, but I must be discipline lol. DSM's were my first go-fast cars.
That looks like an insane amount of car for the money. If I didnt have the challenge integra in my garage I would be all over this. Always loved the 1g DSMs
Well since a canoe bumped this up I might as well remind everyone there's still time to get this ready for the Challenge this year!
Can't believe this hasn't sold
Bump - I need this thing gone.
All the parts are here to put together a good, running, engine. If anyone is crazy/ambitious enough & are considering a last-minute Challenge entry I'll sell you everything for $2500 - but you need to have it picked up before the Challenge this year.
Wow that is a steal! Sad to see it go, wish I was closer...

The name people use for vehicles to tow behind a motorhome.
I want this. Really bad. I was a tech at a Jeep/Eagle dealer starting in the late 90s and had way too much fun in this, and the next gen Talon.
Goodness gracious I want this. I am truly grateful you're far away because I really am not in a situation where I can take it on. Still trying to get things back to almost normal after hurricane Ian ran over us lol.
If I can help tow this thing your direction, let me know. I do not have the space myself. I need to downsize one car :(.
I have a DSM expert friend who might be interested if you can meet closer to MI somewhat.
In reply to engiekev :
I just now saw your post. How coincidental that I messaged you about it not long after you posted.
I can probably help Pete get this up around St. Louis or something like that.

Thanks Anthony!
