He's big and didn't like how he fit in his old one, but mine with no sunroof and a lowered seat bottom should be way the fuck better. Hopefully I can complete my :rudy: transformation and no longer own a car by this time next week... :notsure: :excited: :butwhy: :fullretard: :dafuq: :truckyeah:
Garbage weather here has prevented this meeting, but the guy has followed up and is going to check it out this Saturday.

Our :haus: is going on the market on Friday too. Full :plac: ahead.

It'll be weird to not have my own car.

:wankel: is now $7k for DFD members since I can't seem to buy a :haus: with anywhere to store the motherfucker. Come get it.

2011 Sport with 43xxx miles, OE Mazda rotary warranty through November 2019

Northern Florida car originally until I bought it at the beginning of 2018, never seen salt. Runs strong, starts quickly, never had any issues with flooding.

Work done in February at 32k miles:
New latest revision ignition coils, plugs, wires installed
New Koni sport shocks with FCM bump stops installed
New Stoptech sport brake pads along with fluid flushed and sliders cleaned/greased
SuperPro poly front sway bar bushings installed and extra holes drilled in bar for adjustment
New passenger side engine mount installed just in case
New engine and cabin air filters
Autox alignment done with -2 degrees front camber, -1.5 rear, zero toe all around

Additionally added new BFG Comp 2 AS tires on the stock wheels this Summer and a new battery this Fall, then did a lot of detailing work to clean it up to look as nice as it does in the photos.

Includes the car as pictured plus:

Stock shocks, bump stops, brake pads, front sway bar bushings
Original coils, plugs, wires

It's great but completely worthless. I would like to just keep it at this point but there is nowhere to put it.

If I had more covered storage than I do I would buy this thing in a heartbeat for $7K. You keep nice things nice, sorry you are in a rush.....everything well kept like this sells for asking with time.

Kinda glad you sold it I had been mulling the benefits of it over the Corvette. I guess the Corvette is staying. That's a lot of car for $7500.

Congrats on the sale. I'm still bummed I didn't buy your C5.

I'm thinking about buying summer tarz since I should probably get proper winters for next winter anyway and I already have :stig: 14 lb :ramz: that fit the MKZ. Tire Rack has these new Generals on sale, $342 shipped after rebate for :225: 50/17. Of course the rebate is only good through tonight, so it'll have to be a quick decision.

:fullretard: but I do actually like the stupid car a decent amount. Dropping 10-12 lbs per corner should help it out a great deal without going all the way to RE71R's or anything.

Import Image Racing could probably have a set of BC BRs to your door in a couple weeks at most.

I mean that's what I would put on an MR2 or a Celica, but there's no point in anything like that on this car. Maybe some Bilstein B6's on OEM Speed6 springs if I really wanted to waste (even more) money, but that's about it.

Keep in mind that I think low cars are fucking stupid - and you wouldn't be able to get one in/out of my driveway anyway.

I would go for it... tires make a larger difference than any other mod and technically, it's "maintenance" . :iono:

Yep, it's not a racecar or :jeep: therefore it cannot be remotely entertaining to drive in any way whatsoever.

I did end up buying nothing for now :doe: Going to throw the sway bar and brake pads on and align it, then drive it for awhile like that before making any further decisions.
