So I am a few weeks late on this post. I sold my 2.5rs to another member on the board and picked this up. Some people have already seen this so here is the car’s official post. MPD and I took the journey out to Indiana and picked it up. On the way home the radiator end tank snapped/water pump went about 5 miles short of Ohio. We had to wait til morning for the U-Haul to open to tow back to NY. Runs beautifully now, but what irks me is that the P.O lied right to Mike and I about the water pump being swapped out for the metal impellar (which in the picture you can see was not done), but did include a binder packed full of maintenence records. ![http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a130/ryanmcell/pump.jpg](http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a130/ryanmcell/pump.jpg) Anyways, since I haven’t taken any photo’s here are some pics from the P.O. ![http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a130/ryanmcell/07292006_013.jpg](http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a130/ryanmcell/07292006_013.jpg) ![http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a130/ryanmcell/04292006-007.jpg](http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a130/ryanmcell/04292006-007.jpg) ![http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a130/ryanmcell/07292006_004.jpg](http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a130/ryanmcell/07292006_004.jpg) ![http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a130/ryanmcell/04292006-014_101.jpg](http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a130/ryanmcell/04292006-014_101.jpg) ![http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a130/ryanmcell/07292006_014.jpg](http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a130/ryanmcell/07292006_014.jpg) ![http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a130/ryanmcell/07292006_019.jpg](http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a130/ryanmcell/07292006_019.jpg) ---

[/quote] This is going to be my winter monster. Already ordered some new tires, got some shitty rims, and plan to order some rubber floormats. Also the trim is non-lux version, it used to have black leather vaders and black leather rear seats but 2 owners ago sold and bought this M-Tech alcantara interior which imo is ballllllin’, just need to get the switches for the heated seats.
