I think I'll be doing that this summer. I don't use it and now with the front mount and mishimoto rad it's barely cool air.

well hopefully someone worthy of the car will recieve it. be sure to tell them about the forum.
That's what I'm worried about. I have put so much effort into this car. I would hate someone to get it and not fully appreciate it.

i installed my s204 lip finally what you guys think.....
Been six years, man.
All the rest of the mods left to do cost big money, and I have had two kids since I did the bulk of the mods. Less money, and new goals has led me to want something else. I rarely drive the car, and only take it out to run through the mountains, and autocross, and if that's what I'm going to be doing, I want something better suited for it. I just want a racecar basically, lol.
Yeah, it's a hell of a deal when you consider I bought most of the mods new, and had them professionaly installed. Aside from the Microtech, the Perrin, and the Injen intake they're all new parts.
Yeah, original diff. One of my first mods was the mounts though.

Do you have 2 12" slim fans? The AC still won't work well with the Mishimoto rad? After I installed the FMIC my AC only worked well on the highway and i'm hoping after I install my new rad and 2 slim fans it will work better.
I like it man it looks good, i'm getting the exact same one when I get my tax return check.i installed my s204 lip finally what you guys think.....
I do and on the highway (or above 45 mph) it's not bad, but I hardly use it as is and my main driving won't be on roads above 45mph.

I think you're too low on the price. You've cared for the car well and used top-flight parts for your mods. Unless you're in a hurry, I'd bump it up another $1250 and put it up on Auto Trader. Ignore the KBB and lowballers; Japanese used car values are up right now, owing to Obama's car mashing program, a large Tsunami, and fewer lease vehicles coming off lease due to the major lease companies down-sizing their fleets in this economy. I had a man fly out from several states away and pay 10k+ for mine.
