Looks like a power wire for the amp. Maybe he has subwoofers.

Negative ghost rider..! If it turns out to be that way then that's the most jimmy rigged Turbo Timer Install I have ever seen.. you usually just splice or get a harness that goes to the ignition and tap some power cables usually the radio but never a battery..

Sound System FTW..!

Yeah looks stock to me. Nice car btw, you should get it. You won't regret it. I almost got the MR SE, I got the SE 5 speed instead.

yah, looks stock but definitely ghetto sound system rigged. Don't see any fuses on that power wire either which could be very bad...

Surprisingly nice deal? This is how much SouthCoast was selling them for brand new, and this one is over a year old with 10k miles...

It looks to be a amp power wire. Turbo timer power wires are nothing like that

Central states do no not get a Mitsu discount what-so-ever, it simply doesn't exsist the way it does in California. Also in Cali, everyone knows a car deeler, not in Texas anyway. Everyone is a stranger and these cars are ironically, hard to sell. So what they do is get a limited quantity and sell off thier stock. It's a dark business plan. "Thin the heard" if you will. I had no choice.

You had a choice - buy from SouthCoast and have it shipped like tons of other people did. There's no rule saying you have to purchase locally...
