when I say that I'm referring to the fact that it doesnt look like the engine or tubo have been removed (radiator fins are intact, etc).

Also how do these cars hold up in winter? I told my friend I planned on driving it as my daily driver and he thought I was nuts. I really would hate to have such a fun car sit over winter (even with a winter setting on the dash). However if they dont hold up in the snow it would probably be a good idea for me to start searching for a beater.

I guess I'm going the roof rack route since hitches arent reccomended.

 

Congrats, here is a link that has some helpful info.

Just search before posting something, odds are it has been answered.

Also, why question if you got a good deal or not? You got it now so obviously you felt it was a good deal.

Congrats and enjoy.

 

they hold up great in the winter I live in Colorado. We get some decent snow when it wants to snow and I drive mine every day snow rain or sun oh and I don't do the hole summer/winter tire swap just run mine on some A/S all year long

 

Thanks. Lol just wondering if I made a good decision, its my frist car loan in like 6 years so even though its about the cost of most people's cellphone bills since I put alot down I still feel like I was irresponsible. Getting assurance that I got a good deal on an investment helps me sleep at night

on a serious note did you see anything in the engine bay that I missed?

 

Nice

 

These are great cars in th winter I would say get your self some blizack snow tires on and then you will really love driving it in the snow. As far as the engine bay goes I didn't see any one mention that the intake is a aftermarkert one and your question about the intercooler piping is it is the stock piping

 

looks like u got a real nice ride

 

I just looked closer at my tires and they are all seasons so I dont think I'll need to get the Blizzaks...

 

great car...

 

Congrats!

 

next question

I have 3 guage pod holder under the stock radio. One is the boost guage the other 2 dont have anything in there also it didnt look like there was ever anything there unless it was voltage and stuff which wouldnt make sense to remove. If I want to fill the other two on a budget but also want to have important guages which should I get? I know I should have a wideband (ugeo) but I'm thinking that's getting away from the praticallity that I wanted from the car.

Thanks in advance!

 

Congrats my friend, take care of it.

 

Welcome, one more wisconsin guy whoot!

 

wow what a steal @$21k! i hope its not all screwed up. the stock exhaust is nice. it give a nice deep sound when idling yet it remains nice and quiet when you get on it. snow tires will perform much better than all seasons in the snow.

 

Welcome
