The Story

I first saw this car at Carlisle Import & Performance Nationals a few years ago, it was owned by a guy from Pennsylvania. It was such a nice and clean example that I told him that if he ever decided to sell it to let me know. After about a year or two he messaged me saying he decided it was time to part with it. I had a '96 850R that I quickly sold to be able to purchase this car.

Right after purchasing this car I refreshed just about everything on it to essentially get it to "Stage 0." One of the first things I did to modify it was the manual swap. Doing that is 100% one of the best things to make these cars so much more enjoyable to drive. Over time I was able to source everything else I wanted to make this a fun car to drive without going overboard.
