No I have done all my own composite work. These are the stock VD side pods that I modified to work and cool properly. Water and oil temps have never been an issue with this car.

I could deliver to the Junesprints.

I bought this car but and just ran it last weekend but in the process of acquiring another car so I am over stuffed. Currently three.... soon to be four racecars in a two car garage is getting a bit cozy.

Full Disclosure: Car photographs better than it looks in person. Lots of time spent tuning and checking over, hardware replacement, and tune up for a successful weekend (started dead last and finished 3rd overall with 10(?) cars. Personal best after being in the car for just a couple laps. PI Dash is less than desirable (Opinion). I cant take credit for the build. Dan Robinson built a solid car. Clean solid and straight chassis. Awesome diffuser and rear wing mount (Carbon). Takes to adjustments well and holds them. Body is rough and not to my standard.

Runs true, straight, solid, and neutral. The Novak conversion is spot on and much easier to work on than other FB for sprocket changes. Very nice craftsmanship. Excellent Taylor Diff. The great part of these cars is off the shelf parts available virtually anywhere!

Asking price is lower than asking price above. No hurry to sell and dont NEED to sell. If it doesnt sell I will work on upgrades, tuning, and more updates for 2020 in FA.

Picture is post race at impound at 1011# with the ultra heavy nose. Beat multiple FA's. SCCA regional.
