I purchased the kit in 2015 and built it over a couple years. It's been sitting in the garage ever since. I bought it to build but not to drive. The valve train is from a 2002 Sarburu WRX. It had 130,250 miles. I freshened it up with new timing belt, fly wheel, clutch, pressure plate and throw-out bearing. New Factory Five wheels. New tire and breaks. The wire harness was built by Iwire. Car runs great and has a clean Illinois title. Note that this is not an everyday driver. This is a sports car with no heat or air. It's more of a go-cart for the street.

VIN is FSR1000036ES, Ebay doesn't recognize it so I put it here.

Note: This card does not accommodate people that are 6 foot plus. The last person that won this auction is 6'2" and chose not to purchase for this reason.
