Got out of civil engineering, paying for aeronautical school and need the money. Car is in excellent running condition and an absolute steal for someone in the market that is serious. 18k takes the cake, non negotiable.

Do you think it would be best to just start off with a stock FD?Ive driven a 425-430whp Eclipse GSX but that was 4WD and that alone was a bit much power for my driving experiance.Plus I never driven an FD until this wendsday at 10:30 am when I take a look at one.I should buy a boost gauge right?Well I cant just go out and buy one because of how much working ive been doing,dont really have the time.Ill just borrow my brothers.Is it alot different than hooking up the gauge in a 99 Eclipse?If not please fill me on how to do it.Thanks alot,peace bro.

Honestly, if I were you, i'd start with something stock. No way do I recomend a driver with limited experience starting with a car with this much raw power. Its not something you can just jump into and take off in. Its much safer for you and the car if you upgrade horsepower in stages. That way you can gradually get a feel for the car, learn how to handle the car as you add power, and help prevent a nasty wreck. A good running stock FD will feel fast to you. When the thrill isn't there, upgrade a few things and you will feel the thrill again. You've got 20k to spend, plenty of stock or sightly modified FD's in good condition in the 12-14k range. That gives you 6-8k to play with later on, or use it for things that might break.
