First vibe..this is the coolest little car I've ever owned!

Post by sikvibe »

Just purchased an 03 from a buddy of mine for dirt cheap..He has two subaru wagons and did't use it much anymore..230k on the tac and it still runs great, new trans and clutch so i don't need to worry about that. Already bought new rims and tires for it with all the money I saved..Tein springs and GM supercharger are on there way..I will post pics with details on installs very soon...

Yes sir, a bargin imo, as long as it is in the condition he says it is..I'm a little reluctant putting it on such a high mileage motor, but if it will get me through the summer I plan on rebuilding the motor and rebuilding the blower for more boost
