The hatch still hasn't grown on me but I can't say it's ugly!

*UPDATE*
I took out the STi last night after I got done playing basketball and man that thing is a beast! I was really impressed and I'm definitely going to scoop it up! I was breaking traction on 1st and 2nd gear!! That turbo spools up like no tomorrow!

He's not leaving till Aug so he's willing to hold off until then. He doesn't drive it much anyways since he has his Taco and CBR1000RR thats why it only has 23K miles!

You fugging military doods have so much disposible income it's not even funny!

It's a done deal!!

Thanks! I'm still working out the details but since we are not in an absolute rush, I'm starting to get a bit closer/excited about the car even though the title hasn't even been completely transfered yet!

Here is some pics I took the other day. You can barely see my Taco in the back!

Seeing it more in the morning, there are some obvious surface scratches but its not like I'm going to toss it in a car show. I want to take it to the track; Willow Springs, Streets of Willow, Horse Thief mile, Buttonwillow etc and drive it there more than anything!

I could get some later on but the thing is by the time I get out from work, it's already dark. From what I saw, the interior looks completely stock, no gauges, factory stereo, oem shifter etc. The COBB Accessport was tucked away in the glove.

I also wanted to take some pics of the engine bay but my phone cam wasn't picking anything up the other night.

Cool man, sounds good. In any case, it's a fine addition to any garage.

I decided not to get it after all and it turns out he just sold it.

I'm still going to keep my eyes open for a clean MKIV.

Also I read on the iwsti and nasioc about ringland issues on the 07-09 STi's.
