This is in the Minneapolis Craigslist:  http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/cto/5416082326.html

Would someone really do this to an "R"?  Too much torque for the clutch or the drivetrain. Removing the drive-by-wire is a plus, but no mention regarding traction control and computer mods.

So I wanna put this up for sale. I was using it as my winter car but I usually can drive my S70 AWD or Escape Hybrid.
Now for the specs or what the car is. It started out as a 99 V70R. It has 120k miles. Motor has just under 20k miles. The motor is fully built with aftermarket rods and pistons, it has the lighter 2004 and up crank. Custom sheet metal intake manifold. The turbo setup is very unique and it runs a twin turbo compound setup. It will push 15psi by 2.5k and 45psi by around 4500. I have not ran it any higher then that as it will strip the T cases pretty quick after that. Small turbo is a 16t and big turbo is a GT35R. I also swapped a 6 speed from 04 and up R. The car is ran on Megasquirt 3 and working AC and gauges run off stock computer. Car was drive by wire but now cable. Mostly ran on E85 but I did make a gas map so I could run it on the coldest days of Minnesota but it could still use some work on gas tune. Has the usual supporting mods like massive intercooler and such. The radio was stolen and I keep meaning to put something in but just never do. I also have 3 t cases to go with it. I think 2 are still good and we can confirm. I would like to get 5k for the car but I know my market is limited so we will see. I just really want to sell the car. I pretend like I will drive it more but it just sits and I forgot about it for a couple months. I think if I parted it I could get more but time is more important than money for me. If anyone wants to check it out or drive it let me know. My shop number is show contact info and you can call or text with any questions. My cell is show contact info but I wont answer that during work hours. Thanks everyone and pass it along and share it. This car needs a good home to someone who can love it as much as I did years ago. Car currently has a stockish clutch so my wife could drive it. 2 years ago I had clutch masters make me a $2500 custom twin disk as I couldn't get a clutch to hold the power but the clutch could use a rebuild and it's around $400 in parts from clutchmasters so I replaced it with something my wife can drive.
