My Comments

Sold 8/17/11 - MDORPHN sold last night for asking price. I'm slightly jealous of the new owner :-).

8/1/11 Update - Added lots of good new photos. Also, a few more maintenance items/modifications/parts:

VAC-modified oil pump and baffled oil pan, Bosch 044 fuel pump, rare factory "aero kit" front bumper (org. stock piece available), Spal fan, Stewart water pump, Odyssey PC680 battery, spare brake pads

6/29/11 Update - The price has been lowered to just $22,000 (down from $25,000) and the mileage is now at 140,000 miles. I added a photo to show just how nice it cleans up for street use. The interior is not stripped and is original besides the seats (original seats are available). Neil (the seller) says it's completely streetable but does have a stiff suspension and is a little noisy due to the lightweight flywheel/twin disc clutch.

6/8/10 Update - The car is officially for sale now. He set the price at $25,000 which I think is more than fair if this is the type of coupe you're looking for.

Few cars are as well known in the M Coupe community as "MDORPHIN". Don't let the high miles discourage you, this is one of the most active, best maintained coupes out there and had it's engine rebuilt just 13,000 miles ago. As far as mods, the better question is what doesn't it have done to it. The list above does not even cover them all. It's very well sorted and probably the best built race M Coupe there is, yet still street-legal. The seller has proven this with his high finishes on track including 16th overall in this years One Lap of America. I'm as curious as everyone else to see what he prices it at. The Eurosport twin-screw supercharger alone was $10k+.
