so i got my car in april of '04 on lease figuring id move on to another sports car when the lease was up, but i was thinking recently i just can't let her go, I love this car too much. The lease company sent me a letter offering me an unsecured loan to buy the car. So I called her up, told her basically I wanted a discounted price off the residual value or else they can have fun writing off the difference when i turn it in. Shockingly that worked and she gave me a deal (about $1k off which aint terrible black book wise). At 6.64% apr, my cars title, and not having to pay my overmileage charge (4k miles and counting) it was hard to argue against it so I pulled the trigger and have openned the door to modification (i started a few months early with a bunch of brake upgrades though hehe). So hooray.

 

Congrats - this is probably the most addictive car on earth!

 

Congrats! Gonna get mine soon.

 

I assume you already have a 12 page list of parts to get since you've had it so long. Have fun with it!

 

pretty much
Enkei RPF1s with Goodyear F1 245 40 18s go on in April
Tein Flex Coilovers go on in May
Mazdaspeed Exhaust V.2 in May
front and rear sways and strut bars (still undecided on which to go with, go on soon after that)
then by years end and cash availabilty some sort of FI
and after that and only all that i'll consider my body kit options.

 

dont forget your blinker fluid...

 

i think i'll go aftermarket with the blinker fluid, the $1500 she quoted sounded shady

 

make sure you get jdm blinker fluid. thats what the cool kids use

 

congrats feras, thats good to here.

 

Just couldn't let her go could ya? I know the feeling.
You can have it when you pry it from my cold dead fingers.
Congrates on the deal.

 

Good deal!!! Make sure you do the before and after picture when you start throwing new parts at it

 

there is no escape...

 

Congratulations! I bet this means we will be seeing you around a little more this year!
