Looks like the new owner painted it and did a few other things. Discuss....

Making that 'remanufacturer' in Texas look a fool. 

 

There is one of these Michigan builds in Cincinnati..

 

[mikesmith]

There's one in my garage too.

I really like the green one. All of them actually. Lol. The green one just needs another 1 inch drop and to me that would be perfect.

The Ultrafly Ultimate is a real trooper. That one's about half PU+Elmers at this point, but it keeps on keeping on.

So what happened with this car? It was pulled off ebay...

Anybody else notice the lack of a snorkel on the green car?

[Dev02]

Yeah, I was wondering why they didn't do the intake from the front area.

The snorkel was removed to fit the radiator in. Beyond that, the snorkel is a little small for the necessary intake. Also, the air-flow meter (AFM) needed to be mounted upstream of the turbo, so reusing the snorkel would have been disadvantageous.

Most of Rare Rides' (spif100) auctions end that way (early).

I guess he found a buyer off Ebay maybe.

I'm still trying to work something out with RR, but basically "looked good in pictures, very rough on arrival, keeps getting worse as I dig in further".

[M3M3]

like all the RR 2002 "redo's" the pics do look good...of the outside.  they rarely do anything performance oriented to the cars.  basically appear to just clean, paint, resell.  pump out one every two months or so.  here are the most recent 7 of them.  didn't find the green one.
