04 MSM
Picking her up Saturday. Im quite sure I will be around the forums a decent bit. Ive dealt with low build number cars before so Im already aware of the headaches they come with. It also doesnt matter much since any hard to find stock parts will be upgraded anyways. Found a low mileage gem and decided to jump on it. Considered getting a base and putting a KLZE in but figured turbos wouldnt fit as well at that point. And I dont really feel like ripping into another ZE at the moment to address the oiling issues with the number 6 rod. We will see where it takes me though. Purists will hate me, I dont generally make collectors of rare cars happy either. Aside from that, Im into competition car audio so if anyone needs advice on audio related things feel free to hit me up.

Good, the impulse RS guys threw a **** fit when i started swapping motors and swapped from awd to fwd since there werent any awd parts anywhere to be found. I couldnt wait till tomorrow so i went today and made the trip. Shes in the driveway now and about to head to get a scrub down. Was wonderful to drive aside from tirning 4k in 6th on the freeway. Thinking ring and pinion need to drop down a bit. Ill research and see what i find out works best. Intercooler was upgraded at some point for a much larger one. Once i get uer all cleaned up ill snap some decent pics. For a 14 year old car with 49k on it I am really impressed by how well it was maintained.

Welcome. Also own and 04 MSM and also used to do IASCA SQ comps back in the day. My DD Lexus has a halfway decent CDT/Image Dynamics/PPI ProArt setup that I've had for years now in a few different cars. Not nearly into car audio as much as I used to be, but still enjoy it since it's what got me into cars.
