Here's a summary of the pre-purchase inspection from
BR Racing, in case you find it hard to read in the photograph.
- One wheel bearing should probably be replaced.
- Car has stock brake rotors not the slotted or drilled ones.
- Front brake pads should be replaced.
- Rear brake pads are fine (60% left).
- Car does not have the extra radiator in the center. (Not really necessary unless you live in Texas, in my opinion).
- The end-links on the rear sway bar are stock (not adjustable). You probably want to get the adjustable ones from Tarrett.
- Rear sway bar is not connected (I did so for a wet day I ran).
- Missing one of the plastic underbody panels. (I think these are about $100).
- The rear lower control arms are stock. You'll probably want to replace these, you get about 1/2 a degree more camber. I don't know the cost.
- There's a way to connect the rear lower control arms to lengthen the wheelbase 1/4" or so. It's a minor improvement, but you might as well do it since it doesn't require any new parts.
- Driver's seat was manufactured 12/2012. It will need to be replaced or have a back support created for it.
- Seat belts expire in 2020.
- Fire bottle was not in the car (I left it at home).
- The fire system on switch is next to the driver's leg and could get flipped off accidentally. Should relocate it.
- Battery is stock (heavy, 38 lbs).
- Wiring in the car is stock. You can get lighter-weight ones with fewer wires.
- There's a spare tire in the front trunk.
- The cable for the battery cut-off switch--they don't like the way it's routed. They think it would be too hard to pull. Personally, I had no problem pulling it.
- Body damage.
- Car has a passenger seat installed.
- Stock shifter on risers.
- Parking brake is still installed.
- Has stock hood releases front and rear. You might like to have hood pins installed.
- Has wheel studs.
- Has a quick release on the steering wheel.
- Windshield wipers are still installed.
- Roof not on car (I left it at home).
- No roof net (I use arm restraints).
- Has catalytic converters still installed. Straight pipes would get you about 5 more HP.
- Needs a rear tow hook.
