As most of you know Larry aka Stlwrks had a serries of strokes leaving him in a state where he can no longer drive a car, leaving me as currently the only 3g Road Racer in the world for now. After campainging for a few sponsors and getting some major work finished. Here is a list of what is now done to the car

Auto to 5 speed swap cryo treated all the gears
Quaife LSD
Evo Ecu
Brembo Brakes
FN01-RC wheels
Prothane mounts everywhere

Evo Steering pump

Custom K Sport RR suspension is currently being built

The car makes 5 psi @ 1500 RPMS to there is virtually no boost lag

My Current sponsors are

Here is how the car started

I have yet to really go out to a track event, but the car is prepped for one. I think Ill just stick with dodging cones for now. Car looks good.

Does anyone know if Larry is selling his car? If its the right price, I would love to buy it and run it at SCCA Solo Nationals in FP class.
