My relationship.
my work and business
last but not least my infatuations with cars period.
I work hard at all three that way it does not come back and bite me in the ***. those are the three things that keeps going. those are the three things that makes me happy in life. I have no other hobbies.
when the next car whether it is the next evo or sti or porsche, etc comes out and it catches my interest, I will buy it regardless of the time schedule. We all have things that makes us happy and for me this is it.

In Japan I think the 10.5t is only available on the 6-speed RS, The 5-speed RS only gets the 9.8T. placing the 10.5T with the 5-speed for USDM must have been a cost factor for legalization. may be a real sleeper ,watch out MR! no -lag equals no-turbo. The 05 RS is different than the 04, I also think that only 400 will be available this year.

Or the RS was a weak one and the MR's he had were strong. but he still could tell the RS. was still worthy a race to the MR.

My dealer offered me 22500 for my 03 with 19k miles on it, and they were going to give the new RS for 28k.
I am having a really hard time deciding if I should do it or not. I need a new clutch and brakes right now, and they know that, so its factored into the price. I can get away with not buying a clutch and just get a whole new car

whats the best deal yous guys have seen on an RS. thinking about trading in my 03 because I ned to get another car in someone elses name for insurance reasons, and this would allow me to still drive an Evo and even transfer my mods.yeah

That is not to bad a deal, just go back try and get another $500 off. The 05 is much better. Unless you get your TC/tranny custom rebuilt.
