ok, seems like a Racing beat single exhaust to me, but im not 100% sure. the filters look like HKS, and i dont know how you think thats a front mount ic might want to get your eyes checked... thats a stock mount and im not sure about the brand.. is it worth 24k with original 35k miles, i would say maybe, and maybe you can bring them down more.

I think thats a PFS SMIC.

I remember seeing this car and being turned off by it a while back. I wish I remembered what it was.

I think that's the Apexi Hybrid exhaust, intakes HKS, and PFS SMIC. I don't think it's worth the price tag but to each his own.

No the mods are fine. UGH what was it about the car that bothered me!

If it is legit, I think it may be bit overpriced. If the car was bone stock I think the car would be worth it. Either way, I don't think its to bad. If you can get the dealer to lower the price a bit I think it would be a great purchase.

This will help with the test drive, and basic things to look for when you go look at the car

Can anyone else see what is under the stering collumn? Boost controller, turbo timer, or is it a radar detector?

I agree with Gordon. It says in the listing that it has no chips, scratches or any thing that keeps it from looking brand new. It's possible it is as close to perfect as a 35K mile can be. Only question I would have is how did he treat the engine. But it does look like they took great care. You better go buy this car before I do. I'd change it back to stock though.

This is a really low mileage very well cared for car. Snap it up for anything under $22,000. Run don;t walk. Cars where the owner did the right mods and wrote down every oil change and has the original books and is this clean is a one in one thousand car. I think this car is actually underpriced in terms of the rarity of something this nice. I know many think you should be able to buy the very best FD for $12,000. I think the better and best cars, as price outliers, are really worth paying up for.

Gordon
meaning the best mods during the 96 97's?
you think i have to change the mods to more up to date ones?
