UPDATE ON PAGE 3

Hey CL,

I've lurked around here for quite awhile now, researching what car I wanted and then what mods. I've learned a great deal from all of the community here. Anyhow I found my dream car a little over a week ago and bought it on the fly (Low mileage, bone stock, RSP/black). Here's a couple pics from earlier tonight, sorry for the quality I took them with my phone.

I agree. If it is.....the ULTIMATE SC!!!!! If it's not, it would certainly be worth the swap....

An original 5-speed 97 RSP????
You're better off hunting for bigfoot or trying to catch unicorn tears.
I've seen a handful of RSP auto's for sale in the last couple of years but none were 5-speeds.

It is an auto, but a swap is definately in the distant future. I've got some Fortune Auto comfort series coilovers on the way and am saving for set of polished CCW Classics. I really want to make it handle and stop decent before I go for big power. But for now I really love just cruising around town in it.

Thats the way to go
I am almost in the same route as you, addition with the R154 swap though. But other then that I got that same exact SC as yours. But Red and tan inside.

That's nice. I was just on ebay the other week or so and was looking through the ad for that car. Looked so shiny in their pictures. Congrats.

I was looking at the ad for it on Craigslist! I had even planned to go take a look at the car...until I looked at the dealer's website and saw that it was sold.
