DCH Gardena, almost a year ago to the day. Can't recall the OTD, but negotiated price of just the car was $19,050 (EXT 6MT Coupe). So OTD I think it would have ended up being under $21k? I leased though so the only thing negotiating the lower price for the car did was lower my lease payment.
Posting for reference later. Waiting for W1 basemaps for Ktuner. Won't consider purchasing until available. W1 is right up my alley. Looking for a drop in kit that won't break the bank and can provide modest power gains. Not looking to break any records and want to maintain daily drive-ability...
18's (Budget Moda MD25) wrapped in some cheap Z rated Lauffen rubber (not a bad tire for the price, actually). Lowered on Megan Racing springs (1 inch all around).
I am going on 1k miles on Megan springs without any issues. The drop is only an inch, but I think it looks good and the spring rate compared to stock is comparable. Worth looking into if you want to go lower, but not so low that you'll need to worry about reliability.
What type of power gains could an EXT model see off this unit with the base 19/23 psi MAPS? Thinking pulling the trigger, but havn't seen any solid numbers in my searching that wasn't from an SI model.
This is nothing new and most car dealers are doing it. They aren't items which come from the factory but when a car arrives off the truck the dealers are installing the options themselves after PDI. Typically will be the protection package, floor mats, door guards, locking lugs, etc. Kinda...
I've owned two of them. Bought the first one new in 2005. Did some modest upgrades that netted 270hp to the front wheels. Had it for two years then sold it.
In 2010 I got an itch for another one, really missed that little car. So I found a used 2004 with relatively low miles from the original...
