So, it's all but official- I have insurance on it, and I have cash to buy it... All I need is to drive down(still need his address) and pick it up...

Right now, I'm excited, and a little panicked... Tomorrow is the last day I can do this, and ideally I would leave early in the AM(like 6 or so), but I have yet to get the address to which I am supposed to drive... I work early the next morning, and it's like a 6 hour drive each way, so I can't leave at noon...

So, this morning I set off in search of treasure, lol... As I reflect on my current streak of luck, I can't help but think: insist set out to get an IRL... To be honest, I did want an S series car... I still feel that an SC2 would be the ideal balance between sport and economy... In fact, I had a vanity plate in mind-(3C0 R4CR)...I feel like the passenger that usually flies coach for the economy of it, and getting offered a first class upgrade, half off... Not entirely free, or without compromise, but a nice and well received upgrade nonetheless...

Wish me luck guys, I'm going in for the kill...

PS- Goalie- I'm gonna take your number with me and communicate via text...

Well, it's not a picture, but yes I did get the IRL... It has scratches on the body panels, and the inside of the trunk is slightly crunched(where it's been rear-ended) but it's not bad at all... It runs pretty good, but the CEL lights up, P0172, I think the tune needs tweaked, as it seems to load up with fuel if you let it idle too long, and run like crap afterward...

If I remember correctly, that code is for the intake/throttle body. Or the intake needs to be tuned in.

It's a "bank 1 too rich" code. The PO said that it's a conservative tune causing the CEL... But, it still runs in closed loop, so I'm not gonna worry too bad about it right now, just try not to idle too long... Probably need to get a hydroshield for the CAI, or change to an SRI... I'm a little worried about the puddles around here, I've seen deep puddle+splashing+true CAI=hydrolock before... Not fun, lol...

A hydro shield is the better bet. The stock intake is good for up to 300hp, but itll hurt your performance when the car is tuned for that one.
You definitely don't want to have to worry about hydro lock though.
