I say yes if you have spare car to reliably drive. Its not that much of a dog, but teh S5 tails have got to go

 

Why wouldn't this be a good daily driver, besides the fact that it gets crap gas mileage

 

HEY! S5 tails are sexier then S4 tails by far, or are you just dissing them because there on an S4?

 

Both! I have an S4 that rocks S4 tails. I think S5s are ugly on S4s and just OK on S5s. But why did you put S5 tails on your car? Most people I have found do it because its 1.) The popular tail light choice. No one likes to be unpopular. 2.) It fits with the whole Initial D look. Like thats a valid ******' reason to buy $150 used tail lights. 3.) To "update" the look on their car. This in my mind is the stupidest reason, because I've been to meets where SE's with S5 tails get confused with Tii's and real S4 Tii's with the stock tail lights are brushed off as beaters.

I'm not saying you fit into those three categories, BUT I will rocking S4s till the day I die. Keeping the S4 tails is kind of like a Sleeper-From-the-Factory mod.

 

Uh, unless my glasses are fucked (its possible, its possible ) it has idling problems and few "kinks" that need to be worked out. Granted I just glanced at the ad, but it looks like the dude is military, and while he may be able to work on his car for cheap, he may not always have the time or the knowledge. And who buys a sports a car and worries about gas mileage?

 

Set the idle down and it sounds like that is the only problem. 15 minute fix after the car is warmed up.

 

**** I knew it. I didn't study for my eye exam....are you still there?

 

I'm still here!

I saw it the other day and it took a little to start up warm. Would that also be a problem?

 

As a matter of fact, my t2 came with s5's installed and s4's in the box. I prefer s5's not because they are popular, in fact I dont give a **** that they are more popular, its just in my opinion s4 tail lights are boring and ugly. Plus s5's look great at night.

 

@_@ Please don't fight in this thread. Else when this thread gets off topic it will be the 3rd thread I've made that has gone off topic.


So just to steer us back on topic, does anyone else have opinions?

 

Dude, you dont even have to think about it ..... I would buy this on the spot.

 

True, but all I worry about is the slight hesitation on the start of the engine

 

+1 one, to answer your question this is a good buy.

Trav, thats cool, but I still think S5 are the boring ones. I'll be rockin S4s till teh day I die.

 

great looking s4..rebuilt motor and pretty clean inside...looks great to me...im a s5 taillight fan though...and your local so another t2 closer to me is a win...love seeing other rx7 any gen going down the road...gets me everytime
