NEW DROPPED PRICE!!!

Selling my car and need it gone by saturday if I actually let it go. Gets a little over 30 MPG on the tank (combined mileage) since I removed the cat.

Mods:
Custom Pearl White Paint job with Blue Pearl
15" Borbet Type BS wheels with Kumho Ecsta Rubber (Treadware %50, not included but will for an addition $300)
Stock 14" 5 Spoke wheels with 20% left
Shaved Hatch of all emblems and wiper

1 of 2 suspensions that I will later decide on to sell with the vehicle
KYB struts with H&R Springs
or
JOM Coilovers

Magnaflow exhaust with new downpipe and testpipe (test pipe causes a CEL)
I will include stock catalytic converter
Short Ram Intake
Sony CD Player
Infinity Kappa speakers on all four corners
B&M Short Shifter
Tinted Eurospec taillights
Tinted front signals
"Joey-Modded" Hella MK4 headlights and smoked "dummies"
35% "Grey" tint on the back 3 windows
Removed spoiler (will include with sale)
Badgeless PAINTED front grille

Recent maintenance (last 2-3 months) .:
New timing belt
New timing belt pulleys
New "updated version" of timing belt tensioner
New serp-belt
New Waterpump
Will include fresh oil change but it is changed religiously every 3k
New exhaust gaskets
New plugs
New PS belt
New ball joints up front
New tie-rod ends
New PCV Valve and pluming
I will include new exhaust manifold gaskets and an extra set of tie-rod ends

I will be very open with potential buyers
The cons:
Drivers seat needs to be re-upholstered
Small dents in the hood by the release (Common MK3 problem)
Hatch has a small area of rust (can barely see it)
Hatch release is kind of finnicky sometimes (you have to hit the button a few times to get it to release)
Drivers side rear 1/4 has a small spot of rust (barely noticable)
Car is so low that the exhaust vibrates on the rear axle (If I picked the car up a bit it would no longer do this)
Keyless entry battery is dead
Passengerside exterior doorlock tumbler doesn't work (I'm planning on fixing this)
Passenger side front seat wobbles a bit but can be fixed with a $5 part from ECS
Car needs to be re-aligned since it was re-lowered but it tracks well and tire-wear is fairly normal

Car currently has 158k and runs and drives perfectly. I will be doing a compression check on the engine tonight to verify that the engine is still great (I already know it is by driving it) and will do a final detail on it as well and take updated pictures

Asking 3k without Borbets OBO. Borbets cost an extra $300. Price is somewhat negotiable.

why you selling??

Got a different car I want to pick up. Don't get me wrong, this car is very solid and it does everythign that a college kid needs it to, transportation, doesn't break, and it gets great gasmileage (~34 Hwy).

The car is very tight and it's fun as hell to drive. It's not very fast in a straight line as it has the 2.0L, however, with as light as it is and the handling setup it has it can carve corners like crazy.

I've always been one to have something fast. I like dinking around with engines, not just suspensions. I've pretty much made this car as fun as it can be without dumping at least 5K into it
