My twin brother had one. They are cool but unfortunately FWD. His had a pulley reduction and a few other go fast bits too. Just dont forget. If it had a an accident in 2005 when it was 2 years old the accident was bad. Unlike if it was totaled a few months ago. Old cars get totaled out for nothing. New ones its usually a bigger hit.
I was thinking more along the lines of, it's been driven/owned by the same people for nearly 60k miles since the crash, it there were crash related issues they'd likely have dumped it much sooner. But, who knows without an inspection?

Thats a good possibility too. If it makes you feel any better in Wisconsin to get issued a rebuilt title you need to go through an inspection.

This one is located in Illinois, so I don't know exactly how that works here.
The more I think about it. He seems very open to offers as it's been listed for a while, but it looks clean for the age as most seem to have rusty hatches at this point in their lives.

That is true. My twins had rust bubbles on the hatch.

Ah, makes sense! Is that your DD? I'd definitely be interested in trying it out, I remember even the stock supercharged version being an absolute blast to drive.
It's a friend's car but I've done all of the work and it's not his DD. He'd hand it over to me no questions asked.

Yet another selling point for those extra switches you have laying around.

how bad of a beating does an auto-x put on winter tires? I assume it will be pretty rough on them.

I did it on all seasons but was the only person of 45 without snow tires. The track was snow and ice covered so I cant imagine it being too harsh on them. The next one I go to will be with snow tires and I shouldve known better but you live and you learn

Not snow tires... Those are done in a production run with units forecasted then that's it, no more until the next season.

If it’s clear asphalt they’ll get chewed up relatively quickly.
don’t have to worry too much about snow/ice covered asphalt. -
Worked them a couple years ago - they are tons of fun. 10/10 recommend
