This car is a project. When it was purchased I had to trailer it home. I got it up an running and it has a street tune done on the EFI system currently.

There are many things which need to be worked on, an incomplete list is below;

The exhaust is just mild steel which is crush bent and the front of the exhaust connection is stainless steel flex.
The wastegate piping needs to be finished.
The car will not pass emissions due to non factory ECU.
The intercooler piping needs to be changed at the throttle body (too close to the brake master cylinder)
Rear suspension has the normal clunk from the bushings
The rear wheel tires will rub under hard acceleration or with passengers in the back seat. The rear wheel wells have been rolled but it needs more.
The battery is in the trunk but is not secured properly.

The car is really fast under boost.

If you add up the parts they will come close to the $5500 asking price so you get a free Protege with the deal. PM or email with your telephone # if you have any questions about the car and I can call you back.

I know I am forgetting some things and I will update as I remember them. The car is in Vancouver WA.

If someone doesn't buy the CS car...someone is on crack.
Wish I had $7500!!!
GLWS.
 
If anyone had the time they could buy this, part it out, install a stock FS engine and sell the car and come out ahead or even if they kept all of the performance parts.

If I was in the states I would grab this. I have a few months left before that can happen though.
 
At 10 psi around 260 at the wheels based on how the car feels under boost and wheel spin.
 
wtf why is no one buying this car. looks like this guy did his research and modded it properly. im sure anyone would love to drive this car around not having to worry about its reliability and having decent power aswell.
