[thebarber]

hey guys

im back

[aspro]

Welcome back man. Nice RS. You going to keep it stock or work on it a little?

[thebarber]

It already has a CAI and I have prokits sitting in a box in the car...both of om previous owner.

Otherwise, I'm not sure yet. I bought it for my commute...so maybe cruise control

[aspro]

Nice, I have an 05 blue RS hatch 5 SPD as well. My youngest brother is driving it now, he's 17. We have owned it since new and it is running strong even after 300k km's. It has seen 3 new drivers learning to drive stick and only 1 new clutch haha

It is pretty much stock except a Borla centre exit exhaust and an aem CAI.

Awesome to have you back, what'd you end up doing with the Vibe?

This post reminds me I need to hit you up this summer for extra ballasts and hid bulbs...

[thebarber]

No tach? My RS echo came with a tach. I thought all RS models came with it.
