Default My wife's new car(non honda)

So were building a house that is a little ways away from where my wife and I work and gas mileage was killing us. We had to get rid of her pride and joy and get something more fuel efficient
From this 14mpg 03 Wrangler with 33x12.5 in tires



To this 28+ mpg Tc
#1404 of only 2500 made. It already had a Borla exhaust which has a really good deep tone to it when you get on it, and is still quiet when you want it to be.




She is going to let me drop it for her It needs it bad.

I'm pretty sure I've seen more then 2500 alone in NJ. Is it a limited edition or something? What differences does it have?

They only made 2500 "Absolute Red" TC's. My ex-gf has one. Cool little car. The special release has some differences. 18" Enkeis, maybe different audio, grille, hotchkiss strut bars etc...

Good luck with it man

Yeah the color is the limited part. Yep dead on, it has a different upper and lower grille, It does have a strut bar up front and billet oil cap and battery tie down. Yep its the 18 in wheels in the gun metal color She loves it and I really like them too

I say it faster because I have heard of a lot of people with them being quicker than a stock ej8 but I don't care about that really.

Yeah I loved the Jeep and hated to sell it it was a blast.

Yeah the suspension is really soft, I don't now if its just that im used to my really stiff car or not but it rides really well. She wont be racing it anyway so its good for her. Its got leather also which is really comfortable.

Haha we just bought the car and were building a house so it will be a while before anything like that.

^^Yeah I agree, the red is by far my favorite color on the Tc.
