The RSX has the aspec lip kit on it, oem option from dealer. The Audi, make sure the maintenance is up to date, usually around 100k they have their major service and it is not cheap. Don't think the B7 is the most reliable car ever made.
Back to old-school car searching... I remember asking my dad and mom in the lineup at the grocery store to buy me the new autotrader. Loved reading through it as a kid

Also, for 02-04, Mugen has a different version for sideskirts, but sideskirts 02-06 are all interchangeable.

This is a properly fast and well sorted Miata. Any time you see Chikara Motorsport working its magic on the drivetrain, you pretty much know it is top quality work. The ITB, in particular, is nothing short of amazing.
If I am not mistaken, the car turned in a 1:53 lap time at the Ridge last year at the hands of the current owner.
Like I said, it is properly fast.

I don't believe for one second that an e34 m5 at that price and mileage doesn't need 10k worth of motor work.

I saw the white one today and it is immaculate, and well priced. Just would have to wrap my head around it being a really base car. It could tide me over until next year to get back into a 911.
Decisions...
