Perfect starter car to get yourself in a low budget car and get out on the stages. RA legal for the novice driver. The car has ran 3 rallies with previous owner (NEFR 2000/2001, STPR 2001) and 4 rallies with me (LSPR 2008, Sno*Drift 2009 (3rd in G2 on Saturday), NEFR 2009, Sno*Drift 2010). Perfect starter car, quick enough to have loads of fun, slow enough to not get yourself into big trouble. Was pulling plenty of top 3 G2 stage times when I was driving it, so it is quick. Just looking to do a Honda project, thus reason for the sale.
