Default Another Coupe GT joins the club
Well after months of lurking and learning about these cars I decided to pull the trigger and now am the owner of a 2005 Coupe GT that I found locally here in the San Francisco Bay Area. It has 14K miles and is still under warranty till March of next year. Let the modding begin...

This weekend I put in the Larini Mufflers and BMC filter. Coming next week the FD Springs, DBW, Brake lines. Jeff has been awesome to deal with, but we all knew that already...

Driving impressions so far. Sound with Larinis, intoxicating. My 6 year old complains that she wants to listen to music and why do we have to ride with the windows down all the time...

Handling in the stock format leaves much to be desired but I have high hopes with the FD springs and DBW.

Radio, CD Changer, Navigation. All I can say is what were they thinking and I leave it at that.

Just be careful there....usually warranty and moddings don't go hand in hand
