This needs a BP+T swap, ground controls and 205/50R15 sticky rubber ASAP

 

I mean that would have to be vicious at autocross and scary at rallycross.

Funny about the ad not mentioning it. Maybe he doesn't know it's not supposed to be that way.

Yea that's interesting. Not even a mention in passing. 

It's freaking amazing though. 

If anyone should have appended "I know what I have" to the CL ad it's this guy. I kinda want to know the story behind it. 

GRM should by this as the editors entry in the challenge or just as a project car then dissect it and write about it.

And trail braking and scandanvian flick fun with that wheelbase.

Side profile makes me think late 90s Mercedes SL now. Interesting.

Well, the original CL ad is gone.  Who bought it?  I assume this will appear, completely unaltered, at the challenge this year?

In reply to The0retical :

If the GRM staff purchases it as a project car, in addition to turboing the BP, I suggest reaching out to Jim Pierce regarding front control arms, rear subframe, rear arms (both control and trailing). There's a coil on plug kit that plays nicely with boost and megasquirt, and a modified EVO8 intake manifold also plays nicely with boost. 

Such a setup would be an absolute hoot on dirt and around an autocross course. I'd be in to help and hopefully to purchase said project if they were to decide to part ways. 

 

(Who are we kidding though, we all know that I'll be reaching out to the seller tonight).
