nice, but what makes you think this 13 year old 130k mile car will be any better than the one you traded? At least you know what you had with the last one...this is a bag of unknowns.

because this 13 year old car doesnt have a leaking roof, blinkers that suddenly stopped working, cel thrown (02 sensors), horrible oil leak... etc. this car has up to date tags (11/13) and in just better condition flat out than the 17 year old cobra... of course i dont know if this thing will croak on me tomorrow (knock on wood) but id rather take my chances with this one than the other.

Nice! Welcome to the New Edge territory :) I love my 2000

BTW those are pro-kit's on there if there Eibach's. I have Sportlines on mine which sit way lower than the Pro's do. Good lookin car man! Hope it doesn't give you too many problems lol. Mine has 140k on it. If you hear a strange popping that sounds like an exhaust leak STOP DRIVING IT! And check to make sure your spark plugs are tight. Mine started popping then popped the spark plug out.. Now it's sitting in the garage torn down to the block.

Enjoy it man!

Thanks bro! I appreciate the heads up, but with the open headers it is one big exhaust leak...lol! That sucks that the ride's down, but now you have a good excuse to build that bit**!! I looked at the springs from behind the tire the best i could without jacking it up and noticed the eibach stamp. They are blue, i tried researching blue eibachs and couldnt find anything more than the fact there should be a refference number on there that i can use to look up...
