N00b, hopefully soon to be owner
Hey all. Not a NEW member technically, joined a year ago when I was researching a replacement for my '03 WRX. Well the time has come. WRX is paid off and I'm going to go look at a SUPER clean '05 MR next week. While I'd LOVE to know who the PREVIOUS owner was (he did most of the go fast bits and got tuned by AMS), the real reason I'm here is simple:
1) To say herro (herro!)
2) The car has Espilir GT springs...which will have to go because otherwise I won't get it in my driveway...the Do Luck carbon fiber lip will probably need to go too. :sadbanana: So I want to see what stock springs are going for, hell I'd consider a straight up trade. Need to participate more...my damn post count is zero.
So hopeful this works out.....

Update: Bank approved me. I'm stoked. One important step down....now we go look at it. Yeah I seem to have done it backwards, but he's 4hrs away and I'm not making that drive twice.

The suspension will be a pain in the *** to change out (will NOT fit in my driveway as is), and I need to research meth injection since that's part of the tune. Here's the mod list:
Meth injection, boost between 23-24lbs. Meth kicks in at 20. Dyno says over 330 at the wheel. Said he tracked it twice, total of 12 minutes of driving but it was a granny weekend car otherwise. Hasn't been drag raced or launched in the two years that he has owned it. Previous owner to him did the mod work, tune by AMS here in Maryland. Does this list look familiar to anyone?

If you're in Baltimore then I'm probably a solid 2hrs south of you. If the deal goes through the springs would need to be changed ASAP (no place to alternatively park it) and I'd straight up trade the existing Espilir springs just to get it done.

Now that I'd probably keep since it's not that big, whats it worth? I would see if I even HAVE to once the suspension got changed.
I'm putting the cart in front of the horse, we can talk about it if/when I get the car.

Just picked up my new '10 Octane Blue Pearl SE yesterday. I'm OFFICIALLY part of the family. 
Just shy of 150 miles on the ODO right now. Bought it with 26 on the clock, after a 13 mile test drive.
