kakabox

THE CAR IS SOLD!
THANK YOU RPR!

All,
It's an end of an era for me. The infamous Kakabox is up for sale!

The Kakabox was a labor of love for me and has provided me a wealth of pleasure; building it, running it and 'blogging' about it! It's been a great run...but now it's time for another of the faithful to continue on with it!
I'm currently pursuing other non-automotive interests.

The car is complete and needs nothing to be run at an AX or Track event. In it's current set up, on it's Kuhmo V710 race tires, it's quite fast on a ax course and is capable of posting ftd, or very close to it, at the local club level. It is street legal and can be driven to and from the track (and even carries it's own race wheels!). It could be driven to it's new home by it's new proud owner too!

HOWEVER, although this car is street legal and can be driven on the street, it is an extremely stripped down 3g Si w/zero creature comforts...no heat, no side windows, no carpet and plenty of 'exhaust note' (I wear earplugs when driving to the track). It is a 'hobby' car built for local club AX-ing or open track...IT IS NOT A DAILY DRIVER!

Please note, I built the car for my pleasure and paid no attention to any sanctioning body AX class rules during the build, so I have no idea what class it would qualify for. I usually ran time only so, it didn't matter. I would imagine the car would need to be de-modded a bit to qualify it for some class. Please don't ask me about this, as I have no idea...you'll have to do your own research.

Please read all about the specs and mods here: http://www.redpepper...e...st&p=307594 ...and in the long running Kakabox thread here: http://www.redpepper...e...st&p=194556

It was built from an extremely clean and rust free (zero) '87 3g Si over a 6 year period. It has proven itself time and time again on the AX track and it thinks nothing of driving 200+ miles on I-5 to get to the track (all while delivering 36 mpg). This is probably one of the best driving/running modified 3g's on the planet.

The Kakabox has one of the most developed 1/3g suspension on RPR sporting a 100% spherical bearing suspension featuring firstgencrx's (David's) spherical bearing front suspension and traction bars, full TEIN SS 16-way adj shocks and coilovers, adj rear sway bar, 29mm tbars. The chassis is very rigid by virtue of a Autopower 4pt roll bar (modified to 6 pts) and various custom chassis braces.

Again, please review/research the attached links for full details. It is currently riding on a brand new set of FALKEN 195/60-14 AT615K Azenis mounted on '99 Miata wheels (those are it's street tires) Comes w/a set of Lenso VPD's: 13 x 7.5, +25 mm OFF, 9.5 lbs/wheels w/215/50-13 Kumho V710 tires mounted, however, at my last ax, I chorded two out of the four. You could probably get by w/replacing the two, and running the two 'aged' ones in the rear. I was going to replace all four this season w/Hoosier A6 rubber.

I've priced this to sell as a whole car, hoping one of the faithful (RPR member) will purchase it. It has lots of life left in it.

If you are seriously interested in purchasing the whole car (plus spares), the price is $4000 cash, NO TRADES. This includes ALL of my 1/3G spares (everything goes! HF rear axles, custom stabars, headlights, body trim, rear hatches, hood, rebuilt D16 trans, etc, etc, etc)

Please check out the build thread...think about what the car is and what you'd use it for...then, if you're still interested, contact me here (PM).

Thanks RPR!
