As of right now, I'm not to sure yet. I still need to get used to the way it is now before I start throwing stuff into it. The only thing I do have to do, is whoever owned it before me I guess was really tall and modified the seat so it sits super low. I'm only 4'11'' so I have to sit super close to be able to push in the clutch. Now I'm to low so I can't see out of the rearview mirror so I need to fix that. I also have Takatas that one of my friends sold me so I would like to put those in over the winter. That's it so far. It will come along, just slowly.

Prob has lowering brackets a couple company's have sold them over the years. You should try to swap them out with a local who may want them. Win Win

The evo was priced at 22 but I got it for 20 with 22K miles on it. I still have the celica since that's gonna be my daily. I still love it but it was time for me to move on to bigger and better things although it has been an amazing car to me. I can't really complain lol

I know!!!! I'm crazy for paying that price too lol but that's the price in the market...there's Evo GSR around the same year goes for $30k around same mileage as mine n that's not even MR, so with tax n everything it going to come out to be somewhere $33k. If I didn't get extended warranty then I would be paying $28k total

Yep all original miles. Whoever owned it before me did a great job with taking care of it. I did get it from a dealership and that included gap coverage. I didn't take the warranty because it would of bumped my payment up a bit and I didn't want that. When I saw the mileage plus price there was no way I could pass a deal like that up. 6.5 hours away or not lol

WHoever told you to drive it during the winter just wants to see it become a rusted hulk of a car. Fresh snow the night it drops and leave it in the garage.

I'm from Toronto......its not worth it. Congrats on the purchase. Its easy to get carried away with these cars, Have fun.
