Never thought i see a post like this on TST. Thought that car be with u for years to come. Sorry to hear of the sale and hope things work out for you for the future.

I'm kind of like you right now where the car thing is getting old and I rather use my $$ else where. I have been focusing on buying a home and the car thing is the LAST thing on my to-do list anymore.

I hope you are able to work something out and maybe keep the car.... I can't see u being in anything else lol.

I'm confused. Didn't you ask for a refund and compensation for your time because of how terrible they are? Yet you've kept them on the car for 6 months and are now selling the car with them on...?

And for those 6 months I've been messing with them adjusting the height (and preload) to get them to perform as best as I could and still achieve the look I wanted.

Already have my eyes on a new prize. It's a reliable, grown up, yet youthful sports car from the 90s. Has enough performance for my liking yet still has a lot of comforts that I'm looking for. Going to check her out on Friday and if all is well, I'll be doing all the paperwork on Monday.

I'm excited to see where my pending buyer will take my car, and I really believe that he has the time and money to make this car better than I ever could. The agreement is that I will be able to "celebrity drive" the car when he's done with it, it will stay on TST and in the Tri-State area. I will keep things updated.

Be like CarDriverX or DisturbedFan and rock a cheaper 1.6L with boost.
A bit of a step backwards though after the Mazdaspeed.

Great!, I've still never seen it in person in the new setup. I spotted it back in the BBS wheels.
