New here, introducing myself and my VII

Hey,
My name is Dan and I just purchased a 2001 VII RSII. I am in the process of cleaning it up and getting it ready for autocross, track days, and hopefully some rally cross as well. The car is fully registered and insured here in the great state of Indiana. Registering the vehicle was amazingly easy (I purchased the car from out of state, where it was registered as well).

The car has Cusco Coilovers, Antiroll bars front and rear, Blitz exhaust, and a fair amount of bracing. I daily drive the car and plan to keep it streetable, stock turbo, A/C and power steeing. I am in the need of a new clutch, I plan to do twin disc, debating between Quartermaster and Exedy. I also need a new undertray, planning on going with Beatrush on that. Any comments and suggestions are appreciated. Thanks a lot for looking.

Thanks for the responses. From my understanding, the car is a Ralliart UK model (the UK models have standard VINs), it was imported here, sat in a warehouse in California for sometime, then the previous owner found it was available, and titled it as a rebuilt vehicle in Kentucky. He put it up for sale, I took the title to the BMV, and 20 minutes later, everything was titled just like a normal car.

Wow. The 5's and 7's are the best in my opinion. Thanx for the idea, lol. Very nice car and welcome once again.

Luckily, I work at a dealership, so car washes will be the norm... I can't wait for a warm day to buff out the entire car though.
