    Just put a deposit down on this beauty. I'll be picking it up on Tuesday. Its a '98 with 121000 miles. Pretty clean for a 9 year old car. I have 17" wheels for it in my garage which I'm working on refinishing to gold.

    It appears to already have the following mods:
    whiteline rear swaybar
    some kind of upgraded front swaybar, possibly from 2.5RS?
    KYB, maybe Koni struts (adjustable, red strut body)
    Eibach springs
    short shifter
    rear strut tower brace

    Quite a steal, I'd say.

    Future goals:
    slotted rotors
    '06 WRX calipers
    '06 WRX long block
    '06 WRX ECU
    put PPG's into some blown up 5-spd housing
    FP green? 30R?

    I'll be demodding my '04 in the next couple of weeks and selling it after that.

    you forgot to mention the custom headerback exhaust, y0.

    It's a very clean car; nice indeed.

    Oh, yeah. Custom catless exhaust with big chrome tips that stick out too far.

    question for da' GC suspension gurus -- this thing had the front adjusters on the top (stick a flathead screwdriver in) and the rears on the sides behind the wheels.

    Anyone know offhand what these might be?

    Only touch-up. I was thinking about covering all the rock chips on the front of the hood with truck bedliner or some real rubbery paint.

    Oh, I might paint the door handles white. That's the only thing that I don't look about the look of the car.
