Guy made me a video of the car. Figured some of you guys might be interested. I'd be all over this if it wasnt for my scariness on this clutch.

to be honest it's your money if it's the car, the color, and the offer is to good to pass up and in your budget then get it, but make sure everything is mechanically fine..MR or GSR to me it doesn't matter unless you are gonna track it i've driven both and own a 6 speed. the 6 speed is smoother but beyond that as mods go the 5 speed is the better choice and can take a beating...

it's personal choice when said and done..

if your still new at driving a manual take a buddy, mom or dad, that knows how have him or her drive the car home and go from there..

but beware learning on aftermarket clutches are a pain in the azz, if your new to it be prepare for the worst and the repairs aint gonna be cheap

Hey Ron, Well i guess you decided to pass on this the car seems legit. as with learning how to drive it with an aftermarket clutch i wouldnt worry about it too much you said you can drive a stick but hasven't driven one in like 2 yrs.. its like riding a bike you never forget. as with the car it self... its a steal really. I own an 05 mr(OG owner) 150k+ on the car and I am just now having to replace the tranny. i love the car and have since I've had it raced it not straight line but road race and auto-x. IOW i have beaten the crap out of it and I am just now replacing the tranny.. its a tough car and if driven right and your a lil lucky as i have been i guess you should be fine. Oh well though just my input. feel free to pm if you have any questions. good luck bro.
