Thanks for the reply! I'll send you a message. I'm definitely interested in seeing the car.

I guess I should introduce myself. I am a long-time Seven fan, and have had one on my list of "Dream Cars" ever since I was a kid. It's always kind of awkward when someone asks me "What's your favorite/dream car?" and I always have to reply by asking them if they've even heard of a Seven, and then try to explain what it is after that... I have been an avid autocrosser for many years, having a '96 Miata that progressively turned more and more into a racecar. In the end I had a car that was still registered and insured for street use (barely) that weighed about 1950 lbs but only had the stock 108 whp. That car was a riot and so much fun to drive, but I was always yearning for a better power-to-weight ratio, and had plans to supercharge the car, but sadly it was wrecked and parted out. Since then I tried to cure the driving itch with a supercharged BRZ, but that never fully did it for me. So, after a lot of pondering, spreadsheets, google searches, and introspection, I decided recently that a Seven is likely the car I need to have. I say likely because I have never driven one or even ridden in one, so there is still a miniscule chance I may not like how they drive, but regardless, my journey has started to try an obtain a dream car! Regarding my new-found journey, if anyone in the greater Salt Lake City or surrounding areas has a Seven and would be willing to entertain a fanboy to come look at it, please reach out to me. And if anyone at all has any suggestions on resources and must-do's regarding buying, owning, or racing Sevens, I would be happy to hear any input. Thanks for reading! -Gregory

Hey Rick, I have a few questions that I hope you could answer for me as I am new to Sevens and Birkins in particular. 1) Was the engine new when dealer built? Or is it a used engine out of a donor car? 2) What kind of engine management does it have to control fuel and ignition? 3) Do you know what differential and/or final drive is in the car? 4) How is it titled? And is the title clean? 5) Is the 203 hp mentioned crank- or wheel-horsepower? Was it verified on a dyno? 6) If I were to make a trip down to Las Vegas in the near future, would you be open to show me the car? (You can respond to this one in a private message if you'd prefer) 7) Did you participate in any auto-x or track events with this car? 8) Where was the car located with the previous owner? 9) Do you know who built the car? Thank you in advance. I only recently started lurking here as I have begun my search for a Seven, and yours is the first that I've seen that is relatively local to me (greater Salt Lake City area). Cheers! -Gregory
