I usually post on BON but think this board is pretty cool - especialy the 03 forum. Anyway, I took some photos of the 03 I just picked up and thought I'd cut & paste my post here:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Picked up the 03 (silver coupe) and put some pictures up on Webshots: http://cards.webshots.com/cp-28181124-UDSw-album/41693158qgkAoN
The car is awesome! TONS of torque! The clutch is a lot stiffer than the 99. The shifter is tighter than a stock 99 shifter but it sometimes feel like it can't find the gear you want. Aftermarket shifter needed. The exhaust is quiet but it allows you to hear the blower. The blower sounds sweet! Blower noise is a huge plus!
On a side note, when the car first came in a few days ago and I checked it out I noticed it had 34 miles on the odometer. There was a sticker on the window saying 19.9 miles were put on at the factory. Nobody could say for sure where the other 14 miles came from. I said fine but I don't want another single mile put on - no one is to drive the car. The salesmen gives me his word. When I go to pick the car up, I check the odometer - 41 miles Now I'm pissed. I take another look at the tires and see that there's some wear on them. Not much, but most of those little dots on inside part of the tire are worn off...Salesguy is turning red... Seems the only time the keys were out of the managers office was this morning when Service had the car (apply paint sealant) for about 3-4 hours. They're looking to see who drove it and claim the violation is grounds for dismissal. Salesmanager says I can have my money back if I want (yeah right). I let of some steam at them for a few minutes. They're ordering me a set of Cobra floor mats to say they're sorry... I'll call them tomorrow to see what they found out. We went and looked at another 03 that just cam in to compare, a red convertible with just 9 miles - tires were perfect. Only other thing we noticed was one of the front headlights had a couple of scratches and some condensation inside... They're ordering a new light to replace.
Again, the car is a blast. Different personallity than the 99. This one is more of a bruiser. The 99-01 have their own strenghts thought... It's all good!

that ride is Sweeeet. Could you do me a HUGE favor and take a look and let me know how hard you think it would be to remove the windshield washer fluid tank and hoses and what processes would be involved in doing so???? Im going to remove it to save on some weight, also do some other weight saving mods so I would really appreciate it. Have a great one and get off the computer and go enjoy your new baby :beer:
