Click on one of those ^^ and that will link to a series of pictures taken today 5/21/2014. Does it work guys??
BackroundI bought the car from this guy in cerritos that posted his evo on ebay. He was selling it because this was his daily driver (same for me) and he got a job that was 50+ miles ONE WAY. He ended up buying a hybrid while we were still doing the paper work. This was March of 2013. At the time I was working, had a steady job but recently quit work to finish school and can no longer afford a car payment. I know I know .. I'm sad too.

What has been done in the past year?
Oil changes every 3k (Master lube recently recomended every 5k) so the last two were 5 apart
A new clutch has been installed by Mitsubishi of Anaheim w/ 10k mi on it
New slotted rotors and new brake pads installed by RRE
Everything else has been left the way I bought it.
The bad???
The car came with 2 body marks. One hairline dent on the trunk (quoted 60 to fix) and the other is a scratch on the rear bumper where it meets the back R panel. I will post pictures of both. The only other thing that I would do is to get a smaller battery mount. The ETS fits perfectly but the Upiping was big so we had to re lay the battery mount sideways so that the L side of the hood sticks up less then a cm (picture provided). Poor Advans have some scuff marks on them from previous owner.
Debatable? Even though the car is lightly modded it was tuned by the previous owners shop. After talking to the guys at RRE they advised me to flash it back to stock. The game plan was to get it re-tuned by RRE. It is currently on a stock mapping.
So what do I want to trade?
Well .. I will need a car, right?? I'm really feeling the VW Rabbit right now. I feel like I can spend a small amount to stance it and just get me from A to B. I just need a car that is reliable, and if modded. Tastefully modded .. Is that a given? I'm completely open to sugggestions, offers. I really want to keep this trade and or sale LOCAL. I am in Southern OC. I'll put my number down below. Feel free to PM or even text me with any questions you guys have.
