eh, if you're a rally racer and need something ready out of the box, maybe. for your average joe, not on your life.

Yeah, if I was looking for a track car I'd be all over it. But that thing is so illegal to drive on the street.

Funny, for all of those mods I didn't see a single thing about a multi-thousand dollar suspension that would normally go into those cars....

True, suspension seems a bit lacking. Since this was a salvaged title, I wonder what frame damage exists.

One could deduce that they are selling theor one and only flagship? http://www.bmnperformance.com/rally.html

I suppose so. Funny how they state they are the one stop place for professional rally cars being that they (or maybe one guy selling the car) said it took over 2 years to make that "rally". Maybe they meant to say it was the one stop shop for making your car look like a rally car...?

Also I wouldn't go advertising pictures of engines that look like hoses that are supposed to be on something are hanging off.....

When you have removed the throttle body, intercooler and turbo, there are going to be some lines left that would normally hold on to what you just took off. That, and most of the pics on that page are of the work in progress.

In this case particular, that is the throttle body coolant line. Really only needed in very cold climates to keep the throttle from getting frozen. Otherwise, it just heats up the throttle body and the air that goes through it. I made a bypass for mine and say be damned with the occasional brisk weather. Has worked for me so far.
