Finally got one!

After lurking around here, checking the BM and autotrader ect. for 2 years I finally got one. 2007 Type S 6mt. Im from Nebraska and the car was in Albuquerque, NM.

Just so happens that we had a huge blizzard in the midwest delaying my flight causing me to miss my connection in Denver. Then after sitting in the Denver airport for 5 hours the next flight to NM was delayed. So I ended up buying another ticket from another airlne in Denver so I could get to NM at a decent time

. It was one of the worst/best days Ive ever had.

It was really fun driving it up I25 through the moutains

Congrats on the find and the purchase! At least you got the A-Spec out of the way for more important stuff like wheels and coilovers.

Congrats, that ride looks sharp! color and a spec look hot. Well worth the wait i must say so myself. You give me inspiration. i have been looking for quite some time now for the same combo(type s, 6mt) still haven't found her yet but you just show that with some patience, it will come. How many miles and price if you dont mind me asking?

I'm super jelly about your A-spec kit. I want it for my '08 6MT TL-S, but I can't seem to find a CBP kit.

AckTL05 has a group buy for A-Spec right now and you should be able to grab one for a very decent price right now.

Nice find and congrats! Looks super clean.. whats the mileage on that thing?

I have a new-found appreciation for the A-spec kit after spending 5 hours last night putting mine on... and tearing my fingers all up.
