So, I'm in France (congrats Toyota, Porsche, and especially Aston Martin... I'm biased, what can I say?) without cell service since Friday.
I finally got it back about an hour ago and what's the first thing I do?

 

Make sure you look that thing over with a fine tooth comb. They have a history of seriously f'd cars.

 

So, I would have had a 1:01:X at Lime Rock Friday if I hadn't have let off to let this Mustang pass. I'm too nice. Oh well. next time! Getting closer to my sub 1min goal.

 

Congrats! hopefully its a tuneable 21 model! Looks to be modded already, like a decent amount of stuff (found the carvana listing). Like Bryan said, definitely give it a very good look over.

 

Looks like the car is no longer trying to kill you haha. I think its time you start tuning. That by itself will get you into the 59s.

 

Always. The black sides have me curious already. Looks like other cosmetic stuff too. I'm hoping it all fits back to stock decently.
The Fit I bought from them was great. Can lightning strike twice?

 

Based on my calculations, if your vin # ends in 38XXX, there is a good chance you can tune it. Hopefully it turns out to be a good buy. Still blows my mind what these things are selling for.

 

Yea I am back being comfortable and no longer feel like a newb again. That day was basically all advanced drivers and I was hanging with most of them and even keeping up with some of the cars on hoosiers.

I think just moving to the Nankang CR-S will help me break into the sub minute there. I was driving the hell out of these Conti Forces on Friday. Serious slip angle going on at times, lol.

 

I'm at 34328, so no go. That's okay, though. Not looking to mess with anything smog related.

 

Other way around. 34328 should be way in the clear. I'm in the 42s with a 01/21 build date.

 

So why can't the nontunable cars go standalone?

 

​​​​​​Ooooh. 38000 and below. Check. Good to know. I'll look up what a tune can do with stock stuff. Maybe a test pipe?
I'm Really not looking to do much for horsepower.
Now suspension? I'm doing all the suspensions.

 

Sorry didnt make that clear at all haha. But a tune does wonders. I really hope you get an unlocked car. That makes it worth the price. At a minimum get a good quality catted DP. Then tune. I got a MAP downpipe and have had no check engine light.

Suspension wise, for what you do, look into @razorlab build over mine. I'm mostly auto-x.

 

how would I know?

 

Got to pop the ecu out and look at the date on the sticker. Takes a whopping 2 min.
