LOLz..I have my reasons... First off it's a 5-speed, Japan built SE--- Not many were made..
My folks bought it brand new in December '03, and I bought it from them with 75k miles. I drove it with 9 miles on the odometer so its kinda sentimental lol. It currently sits at 180k, with such little maintenance that its kinda silly.. All I've had to replace was an o2 sensor - $175, and the speed sensor - $250... Other than that, I've changed the oil.
Ideally, I'd be rockin an STI, but since I commute 100 miles a day, the suby just isn't as reliable or practical (as if less than 2 inches of frame clearance is practical)

So this was her first look -- Eibach Pro-Kit and Enkeis
then I got 19's for almost nothing with brand new PS2's
finally, how it looks today, err, when I was moving lol
^my dad and I, this was just after he got off the dyno--- bolt ons + tune = 400whp!!
I hope you all like it.. I know its not for everybody, but it's been so reliable that I'd be an idiot to get rid of it, especially since it's been in a wreck and is worth pretty much nothing, lol... I figure, why not be different, and accept the haters with open arms
