Still is.  Pre 96 is safety only.

I also would like to add the vertical link mounting ear on subframe has been strengthened with the "new" plates from Ronin.  The "mighty" stick four cylinder ripped this off in 3 launches on slicks :)

I can't believe this hasn't sold already. That's a legit car for 5K and a great platform to work from.

I agree the components (rear, swap, suspension) are worth 5k...

Makes me sad these are at this price point... I guess I'll keep mine forever haha. (I think you should have started at 10k! Mine makes 330 and I would start in the 10-12k ballpark if I listed it.)

Perhaps I underestimated value, but certainly no offers.  If I don't get at least 5k I definately keep it.  I am just getting the urge to build something else, and I don't have $ or garage space to keep it.

Someone should buy this because it makes mine look like a ripoff.  :D
