i bought it off an HT member. the guy i bought it off of raced it in autocross. i don't know if he was spondsored by tire rack but my guess would be no but he was good enough to be spondsored. tire rack spondsors some autocross i think. i falkenas are in really good shape but i don't know if they are brand new. i have heard the 615s are just as good as the 215s.

i never said but that is the original paint. it shows a little age but not in the pics. i think i can make it look better with a waxing ( didn't wax b/c i want to touch up the paint next weekend).

here is the battery



it is located in the storage spot behind the passengers seat.


thanks for all the good replies. i will do my best to keep it nice.

What kind of battery is that? I have the storage compartment behind my seats I that is a great idea for a battery. Mine is in an Autozone box on the passenger floorboard, and my passengers hate it
