I bought it buck-naked stock from a friend who'd blown the engine after the stealership said they'd fixed the over-heating problem. They changed the water-pump and timing belt, but neglected the clogged radiator - which popped the head gasket and warped the head a few weeks later.
I gave him $800 and had it running only $500 later. Shortly after, I tinted the windows, replaced the windshield, added some JDM driving lights, a homemade CAI, installed some GSR seats and a Momo-like wheel with a removable hub. For Christmas, I splurged and tossed on some new 16" rims and 40-series tires. After it was broken into last spring, I installed a new stereo and changed my security habits.
