My good friend Rich has owned this car for many a years... It was originally another Rich's car who was in California also and built it. It started out as as a stock bodied FD and LS6/stock rear diff/AP 13" brakes, and freshly rebuilt T56 and was a Cali BAR'd machine. It evolved into a freshly painted Montego blue widebody car with Pettit rear flares/bumper, Ronin front flared fenders, M2 racing vented CF hood with AeroCatch latches, and a healthy wet sump 427ci LS7 running a Cobra 8.8" IRS out back with Forgeline wheels. The cars focus has always been a streetable track Gudzira!
The goods:1994 Touring model FD factory Montego blue color. This has the preferred interior plastics.... the ones that don't crack when you look at them.
427ci LS7 block, stock LS7 crank with the snout cut down, Ls7 Ti rods, wiseco 11.25:1 pistons, wcch ported LS7 heads with Ti 2.2" valves, ported LS7 intake with 56# ZR1 injectors, LG Motorsports G5x3 cam, Holley cable 90mm TB,

Freshly repainted as of 9/25/2015 bumper, hood, front fenders, rear flared fenders. The car looks awesome once again!
Front bumper and fenders have s/s mesh in them. Very nicely done and riveted firmly in place. Rear fenders riveted on for easy servicing.
100% rust free..... as in not even a spec. Clean CA title.
Flaws:small crack in paint above fuel door, some minor rock chips on passenger door, rear hatch had an R1 wing and holes have been closed up with plugs. The small plastic cover for the trunk/gas tank release is tan.... and has been painted... its scuffed.
Accusump pukes a little by the valve.... Not a big deal as per Accusump.
Cold start until it reaches 110* water temp needs some throttle input. Once warmed up its all good. ***Just retuned last week.... issue resolved***
A couple minor dings near fuel door will be removed by a ding repair guy. Tires are old and for track duty are not optimal. Either replace or learn the car with them on. The car has an aggressive alignment for handling. This can be mellowed if preferred but will adversely affect handling.
The big question is why is Rich liquidating his stable? A 2010 ZR1 is calling his name... And there you have it.
Rich has been a member of the original v8rx7, torquecentral, and now the current norotors.com forum. Dude.... we are old
He did a handful of track days with the car.... but for the most part it was just a bad ass street car.
