Default Round 3: final round

As some of you might have expected I'm back again. This time it took me even less time to realize I didn't want another STI. At this point I'm pretty confident it will be my last time in one unless it's an addition and not replacement. I loved the car but it just wasn't a s2000. I had the last two STIs for a combined total of less than a year.

This time around I decided not to blow all my money on the nicest, lowest mileage s2k I could find. I got very lucky and found one with decent mileage and it's definitely in very good shape.

Car is a 2006 with just a hair over 79k miles. Previously owned by another Mid-A member. Thanks Chelsea It's completely stock except for the Espelir springs and upgraded speakers/head unit.




Don't expect this car to be modded much different from the last two. First things I'll be buying are another Recaro, some new suspension, and summer tires. Just trying to make up my mind which coilovers I want.

It's already clean but I plan to do a once over and really get every last crack and crevice on the car. Stay tuned for more pictures!

I'm glad to be back

I've always been a fan of silver. I still think I like Silverstone a tad better but I've never had anything against Sebring. It does look a whole lot better with the OEM HT.
