there's an exhaust on it that was installed by the previous owner... don't know that kind it is cause the brand plate is facing up towards the bumper (probably some POS)

here's the engine shots as requested

Cleeeeeeeeen. Nice car. Leave it the way it is, no mods. Drive it for a couple years and save your money for a Carrera gt. Once you start modding, you can't stop. I think a Heroin habit would have been cheaper than owning one of these.

You might as well have stolen the car That's a pretty amazing price for what looks to be an unmolested FD. Congrats and welcome to the club BTW, is the engine OG, or rebuilt/reman? At that milage you gotta wonder......

Welcome to the headache and empty pocket club!! To minimize the headache, you don't have to deal with someone else's attempt of modding the car. I hope you're somewhat familiar with the car and know about the reliability mods to perform.
P.S
When you go into work tomorrow, ask your boss for some extended overtime hours. You're gonna need the money!

i don't know. i wish i did, but i don't. the independent dealer doesn't have service records. the only thing he provided was a carfax report (clean title). the engine still runs strong, but i would like to have it rebuilt out of my satisfaction.

i've considered the car for quite sometime. as you can see, i registered in sept 04 doing research. it was an accident with my previous car that gave me the "push" to actually go and get one for myself.
as far as overtime goes, i'm on a salary. i'd be the "jack-***" of the month if i asked

Looks nice and clean -

Question for anybody - what's the black ribbed cylinder sitting right off the drivers side shock tower? IIRC that is not stock.

That looks like the horn/siren for an aftermarket alarm system
