-MSD 8.5mm superconductor plug wires

-Transmission Fluid replaced with Redline MT90
-Fuel Filter replaced
-OPSU Replaced and still leak free
-More to come as I remember...

Upgrades:
-Painted WRB by the previous owner, paint is approx 4 years old and still looks great IMO, Waxed with 3step meguires wax treatment at least 2x a year.
Exhaust:
-SS Autochrome Headers
-High Flow Magnaflow Cat and Resonator
-Borla Muffler with magnaflow tip (very stealthy)
-2 1/4inch Crush bent piping throughout. (Sounds good IMO)

Everything
-Spec Stage 2 Clutch
-Lightened Flywheel
-AWR Engine mounts (F&R)
-B&M Short throw shifter
-PRM Cold air intake (Can't find these anymore)
-Megan F&R strut bars
-All red tails, sprayed with stained glass paint.

Wheels
-One of a kind! 16inch RSX Type-S custom machined to fit! You will not see another 2g mx6 with these wheels
-Sitting on Cooper Zeon tires with plenty of life left (as you can see)

Ignition
-MSD 6A box
-Blaster 2 coil
-Plus HEI mod
-MSD 8.5mm superconductor wires
-Setup cured disty problems and has been used approx 1.5years without failure.

Music
-Infinity 5x7 in doors
-Alpine Type-s 5x7 in rear
-Panasonic MP3 Headunit (burn CDs with mp3 files, can fit 100-200 songs)
-MTX 250 watt amp (Mounted behind backseat)
-MTX 500 watt sub (Not overwhelming to the music)


The bad:
-The previous owner did not have the trunk and jams painted to match the car. I never got around to it either so they are hunter green.
-A 2inch dent on passenger side door. No paint damage. Difficult to take pics of. I'll see if I can capture it. Typical 14 year old wear and tear on top of that (A few dings here and there).
-Antenna mast does not move. I just leave it half raised at all times.
-Trunk struts work at times, do not work other times. Usually hot days are the only problem.
-Driver side leather seat has the typical tear in the bolster. However, the leather has been treated regularly so its still fairly soft.

The Good:
-I feel like I've taken excellent care of this vehicle. I'm the type of car owner that performs maintenance before the problem becomes worse or before it's absolutely necessary if at all possible.
-All electrical connections that I have done in this car are the best quality I can perform. For the MSD ignition I used solder, a bit of electrical tape and then shrink wrapped the connection to make sure it was absolutely water tight.
-A/C does work surprisingly well. I'm not really the A/C kind of driver normally but I've just moved south and started using it more often.
-I'm the third owner of this vehicle and can email a carfax to seriously interested buyers that I received a little while ago.

If you are interested and want specific pictures feel free to post or pm me. I am more than willing to help you get a sense of my vehicle before making arrangements to come take a look. As previously stated I am living in Northern VA but would be willing to work out somekind of arrangement with buyers from further away.
