Nice! I moved from the midwest a few years back, but these are still as rare as hen's teeth, especially in any decent condition now that they're past 10yrs old. Even ours is looking rough after being outside in the southeast weather now for a couple of years. :cry:

I haven't seen one of those yet (thankfully), but some spots that were just chip now look like they may be getting rust. The good thing is that a vinyl wrap will restore the appearance quite easily and is cheaper than repainting. As far as the tranny, we have a really good member on here that knows all about the tranny as well as the whole car as he's got experience with them as a tech--probably the most knowledgeable person on these cars in the US. :drive:

Yeah, it's been really good to us. Once I get a chance, it's going to get a complete clean up and then will join Kuro's in CA (if that's where he is now--I forget as he's moved at least once).

Yup, I'm in OC now. Been here six years.
My Kizashi now likely looks pretty different due to some accessories on it. I keep forgetting to take and post photos after a wash.
