Kosovo is a pretty safe place. We are just keeping the peace. This is nothing compared to our brothers and sisters in Iraq. The Kosovo people are crazy drivers though!! The old men are the craziest sometimes. big culture difference.

I was checkin out the IX's and they are nice, but i was thinkin of getting a used 04. im going to have a pretty nice piggy bank by the time i get home. I'm trying to set assisde a nice budget to make some improvements... plumbing, cams, coilovers, AEM EMS... any and all recomendations are welcome.

Aikido, your from harrisburg? I live down the highway from you!

here here!

For the changes they are making to the IX it might just be worthwhile. Of course, the prices of the older ones should drop a bit when the IX's are out. So you could find a deal.

Any of you PA guys deal with SlowBoyRacing? That's close to you all I think. He's got Evo stuff/ upgrades. Just curious. And could probably hook you up if you need to pay for all that work.

You might just want to get an 05 and up car. They have a front limited slip (unlike the open diff which was prone to braking) and a little more horsepower. I understand your financial reasons, but the 04 is really not much different than the 03.
