That's funny because i won an 05 GSR and if I were to do it all over again, i would go for an RS. An 06 though.

The car looks good, Congrats!

It takes some getting used to, doesn't it? All power to no power...

I went from 06 GSR to 04 RS

thanks guys it needed a couple things when i got it ... it had a megan manifold which was cracked so i had to replace it rite away and needed plugs etc. but it runs pretty smooth just miss all the power at the pedal my mr had... it will be back soon though
oh and yes very odd not having keyless entry that kinda sucks but whatever
heres the engine bay shot from the day i got it
