I like the color.

Once upon a time I wanted an SC2, 3 door. In 06 there was a 2000 5MT for $5k, but it apparently had transmission issues.

I think the clutch was going, but I never had a chance to get near it.

Those are some seriously good tires, holding that car on the wall like that.

Maybe it's a phone tablet/ laptop deal. My phone and tablet are showing it correctly.

Might be inconsistent EXIF tag handling across different browsers.

Orientation via EXIF tag is such a great idea, and so mangled by inconsistent implementation. :(

Another thing that I don't get is how uncluttered that garage is. Did he rent a vacant garage for the photograph? My garage looks like a whirlwind came through and blew everything into heaping piles all leaning up against the walls.

Nice car anyway.

A clean work area says a lot about the type of work a man does. I work on cars so my work area is pretty clean. It's actually kinda dirty here in the picture. Floor needs swept and the electrical cord is a mess. If you drive in to a shop and his tools box is a disaster and the area looks like a slobs haven you wouldn't want your car in there most likely.
I want people to respect my work so I try to stay and work in a decent environment. Whether in my home garage or anywhere else.

Thank you btw I'm really liking the car. But I do miss my old one. The old one had the Dohc it was a little more spunky.

Well if I ever move to your neck of the woods, you can be my mechanic. Great that you take the time to keep it clean. It does help not having to trip over junk to make working on cars more efficient.

As for the SOHC, well maybe some kind of performance mods are in order?
