Description:

I've decided to put this car up for auction one more time after my friends talked me into it. If it doesn't sell this time, I'll part it out. Up for auction is a custom built Lotus 7 knockoff, autocross car. It is NOT street legal, it does not have a VIN number and the mileage is not really known. It weighs approx. 950 lbs. The wheelbase is 79 , the front track is 53 with an overall width of 64.5. It is powered by a Gen II Suzuki Hayabusa engine with a reworked ECU and 13:1 Wiseco pistons. The first 5 gears in the transmission have been backcut. The wheels are lightweight aluminum 13X10 with slicks. The fuel lines and oil lines are all steel braided with the proper fittings. It has a HP fuel regulator and pressure gauge and filter. It has rack and pinion steering with a steering quickener and quick disconnect steering wheel. Front suspension is by Extreme with aluminum hubs, scalloped rotors and Wilwood brakes with steel braided lines. The front coilovers are new Beilsteins with new springs this year. It has a electric front brake shutoff which is currently unhooked. It also has adjustable brake bias with gauges. It has front and rear sway bars with the rear being adjustable. The gauge panel is a stock Hayabusa unit. It has an aluminum race seat and competition seat belts. The rear differential is a Toyota GTS unit with disc brakes and lightened rotors and a torsion type locker. It has a fuel cell. The rear coilovers are Carrera. It has an adjustable panhard bar. The car has been autocrossed for several years and could use a good clean up and paint job, it has dings and bruises. It is fully sorted and has more than 50 FTDs with several different drivers. It requires very little maintenance, just change oil, and plugs once a year and put tires and gas in it. I reserve the right to end this auction early as this car is also for sale locally. A $500 non refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of end of auction, full balance must be paid within 7 days of end of auction. The car IS NOT STREET LEGAL and is located in Lucas, Oh. You can stop by and check it out most any time. I'm only selling the car because I'm retiring, I've been autocrossing for almost 40 years and it is time to quit. If I were twenty years younger I would put a wing on it and a turbo. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Buyer is responsible for all shipping and or pick up arrangements.
