Hi from Raleigh, Local Shop Owner

[Wheelspin]

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum, but not new to forums by any stretch. I recently bought a running 2005 SRT-4 with 135k on it for $2500. I will be documenting my journey with this car soon, but will need to wait on photos until the car comes out of paint.

I was looking for a new daily driver, and I was considering the Focus SVT, Neon SRT-4 and Civic Si because I wanted a car with all the amenities I require (manual trans, A/C, sunroof, etc), as well as good handling and good acceleration for passing on the highway. This deal for the car fell in my lap and I couldnt pass up a deal this good.

I own a shop as a side business named Urban Legends Motorsport in Raleigh, NC, and have been modifying cars for quite some time. Just to introduce myself, I want to show you my car history:

My recently sold Legacy GT Daily Driver/Project Car (Stage 2.5, many mods):






My old Honda Civic Daily Driver (D16Y8 Mini-me swap, Si Rear Brakes, light mods):





My old Mitsubishi Eclipse Project Car (100 Wet Shot Nitrous, Evo Brembos, heavily modified):






My dad's 1994 Mazda RX-7 (eternal moneypit, first car I started to work on):
