Hi I'm Stephen. I am in the process of purchasing a used 1998 2.5 RS. I'm flying to Detroit to purchase a 1998 2.5RS on November 17th. It only has 41k miles on it! Here are some details about it: FHI V5/6 Front Bumper, Front Lip and Rear Spats Painted side skirts FHI Fog Lamp Covers FHI Pink Star Emblem STi Pedals set Prodrive OZ P1 Gold Wheels 17X7 Toyo T-1 Proxes 215/45-17 (1 more season of use, due to neg. camber) Brembo F/R Slotted/X-Drilled Rotors Mintex F/R Pads (currently OFF vehicle) Painted Calipers Cusco 19-21mm Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Cusco Rear Strut Tower Brace UR Underdrive Crank Pulley STi Titanium Shift Knob FHI Leather Shift Boot Carbo Fiber imitated Center Console and Shifter Trim Prodrive WR Bilstien/Eibach Suspension Set FHI Group-N Strut Top Mounts Prodrive RB5 Spoiler FHI Red/Clear Tail Lamps Sony Roll-down style CD-Player FHI Compass Gauge FHI F/R Leather seats Custom Mash Grills for hood scoop, vents and F.Bumper Stainless Steel Brake Lines and premium DOT4 Fluid Kartboy Short Shifter and Bushings Kartboy Drop links Kartboy Hangers Apexi Turbo Timer Apexi S-AFC Greddy EGT/Boost/Oil Pressure Gauges in OEM modded housing J&S Safeguard + Knock Sensor Ludespeed Stage-II Turbo kit (currently OFF vehicle) Brullen Catback 3" Dual-tips Exhaust, Medium noise level STi Motor Mounts STi Tranny Mount ACT Stage II Street Clutch Whiteline Reverse Front Strut Tower Brace Differential Protector FHI STi Clear Side Markers FHI Clear Corners Trunk Light Add-On The seller is also including a LudeSpeed stage II turbo kit, that was used for 12,000 miles, but is currently off the vehicle. (I may sell this to fund for a swap project later on down the road) I'm pretty stoked, I think this will be a good car to lightly modify, and just enjoy driving.

Good luck with the pending purchase, looks like a good excuse for another group meet and photo op. Alex? Matt, looks like you have some competition
Thanks for the warm welcomes. I'll keep that white RS in mind in case my deal in Detroit doesn't go through. Though I don't think there should be any problem up there.
welcome to the site. loving the miata and that RS looks pretty clean. when you say swap i assume you mean you're going to do a full STi drivetrain right? that would rock. also, where in acworth you live? i dont remember seeing either of those cars (miata or cooper) when i was up there (live off of hickory grove and baker)
Thank you. I appreciate it. Yes, I'd love to do an entire STi engine, transmission, diffs, dccd, dash, etc... I live closer to Kennesaw, but my mail says Acworth, so I stick to that. I live over off burnt hickory and mars hill rd.
I will be in that area today at my brothers house! Also there are several members that live that way. Lingered live right around the corner there. Welcome to the boards and good luck with the purchase! :wavey:
Thanks! Oh rock on, that was a fun day. Looked like hell to get some of the cars on that dyno pack, especially the older Celica.
Welcome! As you can see, I'm new here too. Hahah. And awesome deal on the RS. I saw it in your other thread, but still awesome.
