Talking Finally Got My RA....

Well, I finally did it. I went to the dealer today and ordered my 2006 Graphite Grey Ralliart. It only took me a year to do it. But I had to wait till i got married, which was over the weekend. So, back to the car... I got a graphite grey as i had said with the Sun and Sound package. They had one on the lot so it made it an easy choice. Unfortunately I had to get the Auto seeing as my new wife dosen't drive stick and has no interest in learning . Ordered it with the Evo Spoiler, Vortex Generator and the Sport Gauge Kit. One thing i didn't realize is that the auto RA's come with the sport peddals, i knew the Stick did. So that was an added bonus. I will post pics when i pick it up but that could be up to a month seeing as I told Mitsu that i woulden't pick it up untill they have all the parts that i requested installed (they said that i could take the car and come back later and get the parts installed, not interested in that idea) seeing as i still have 2 months left on my Neon RT so no hurries but i will be sure to post em up when I pick up the car. Well thats all for now, see you on the forums.

I'm pretty sure the 06 Auto RA's are 5-speed but not 100%.

And all of the 06s come with the sport pedals (the RAs anyways)

Ok, I have to ask. Were you more excited about getting married or the fact that you could go in the next day to order the RA? I hear you about the wifey wanting to get the auto, that's why I'm driving an auto. To tell you the truth, I'm pretty happy with it because I have run a 5-speed and kept up just fine. He had every mod that I have plus a piggy back. If you are going to do any mods on your car, my suggestion is that you do the UD pulley first. That is a tremendous help for the auto to get those RPM's up faster.

My wife can't drive a five speed, so it looks like she can't drive my car. Good choice on the ralliart. Now it is time for you to VOID THAT WARRANTY! I am working on it slowly but surley.
