    This car is demonstrably, one of the very fastest FST cars in the country. Driven by Doug Seim to many track records and victories. This car is perfect for a larger driver as the base car weighs 841 lbs as FST w/o dry sump. With a six foot 200 lb driver, 70 lbs of ballast can be put in all the right places.

    Facet Electric fuel pump
    All Aeroquip fittings and lines
    Trick air box from Carmody glassworks

    Current belts still have one year.
    Current years slicks on steel wheels
    Almost brand new mounted Hoosier Rains
    Car needs paint but that’s all

    The RGU BRD is more than likely the best and most successful FV conversions out there today (i.e. like Coops VD FC conversion in FB). As Robert stated, some fresh paint and your ready to go. Nice car, very competitive.

    Here is a link to a video at Nelson in which Doug Seim in said BRD wins a very competitive series race.

    A very nice car indeed, but isn't that a lot of money for a FST? Can't an almost new Evolution be had with that kind of dinero?

    The car does have alot of extras (shocks, dash, trans case) and has mounted rains. I am sure the price can be reduced by subtraction of the trick bits. Robert is selling a developed car that has not been stripped of the pieces that has made it the 2nd-fastest FST over the past few seasons

    PC is correct, this car has lots of extra "wizzy-bits" and a history of great results. A comparably equipt new '09 Evolution would be more than $19k.

    All those things that Greg calls “whizzy bits” add lots of cost and lots of value too. My thanks to Bill and Greg for assisting in describing the car and as I said I’d be glad to sell the car anyway the a buyer would want. However, if someone wants a great bargain in FST I would recommend the Evolution 57 car being sold on this forum. It has a state-of-the-art components at a bargain price. “Jumpin Jim” Woodsmall bought this car so he would have something to benchmark his new M-5’s against and now that he has done this and he is ready to concentrate on producing M-5’s. Someone can get a great deal on an excellent race car if they want one.

    Default Finally---painted

    Well it’s all painted and ready to go. Matt Gordon is going to give it a try this weekend at Nelson. Stop by and take a look if you’re there.

    Incidentally, a Formula High School car will also be on display
