• Declarations

• 2 decs

• 1st was in 2010: minor paint damage to the rear passenger quarter panel ($900 - repaired at No. 1 Collision).

• Someone clipped the back end of the car as they were attempting to make a lane change without looking to see if there was anyone in the lane.

• 2nd was in 2012 when someone lightly scrapped the front end of the car. Again this was paint. While in for painting I had both fog light lenses replaced, had the sheet metal holding the kidneys replaced, and had the hood re-spayed as there were a number of small rock chips ($2,500 - repaired at False Creek Collision).
• Modifications

• Intake manifold and Dinan software

• Dinan throttle body

• Besemer short shift kit. The original shifter comes with the sale.

I kindly ask that test pilots stay away. I’m a busy guy and don’t have time to take people for joy rides.
