Here's the ad for it. Seemed like such a nice car at such a fair price (I actually paid $6500), I flew from the SF bay area to San Diego to buy it. Normally I wouldn't bother, because it wouldn't be worth the chance it was a pos, but the seller seemed very cool and knowledgeable, plus he has a few videos of it on the internet that show the car well.
The car was just as described, and ran great on the 500 mile drive home. I bought the car as an autocross and track car, but I found it was a nice long distance GT car too. Maybe I'll take a few weekend trips in it on Highway 1 or some such thing.
I can't wait to have a chance to drive it 10/10ths. I pretty much just cruised it home other than a couple of blasts up to redline, but I could tell that it's a nimble and good handling car - an over-sized Miata. Something that pushed me over the edge when trying to decide to buy an RX, were all the reviews of the car that mentioned how great it handled. One guy said the handling was "stunning". I'd like to be stunned by handling that good.
I don't plan on doing much to it, it needs tires now, I'm definitely getting some of those, Rivals probably, but other than that it needs no immediate work.
Here's a video from The Smoking Tire of the actual car. The guy in the passenger seat is the guy I bought it from:
