Welcome!
I’ve always had a soft spot for IS3’s. IIRC in 2001 they weren’t even offered in a manual, and in general do collect quite a premium when you do find one that doesn’t have the partial alphabet displayed on the dash with letters such as D,P,R.
We’ll see you at the cruise!
If you have any big plans for the car start a project thread and keep us updated. :thumb

Wish I could afford to do both, but I decided to only put money towards stuff under the hood :). I’ll be starting a project thread in about a month hopefully.
