Yup you're reading this right. click the horsepower link in my sig for deets on the car and ish...

I'm mostly feeling it out right now but I'll let the whole shabang go for $10,500 - firm.

Questions welcome. 40k on the dial. Dealers are offering me 9k for it even after i strip out gauges and shit, so i figure 10500 is good w/ all the shit on it.

Will solidify the sale after I'm 100% approved for financing on a new car.

A common question on threads like this is Why are you selling? and the answer is, simply, I'm having a baby and so it's time for me to let go of some of my toys. I need a car that's more mature, more family friendly, and safer. So my loss is your gain. There is absolutely nothing wrong w/ the car as it sits.

I'm pretty sure he threw some baby seats in it. I guess you could make your own AURA Red Line, though.

wife's opinions trump all tho... she doesn't feel safe in my ion since i lowered it.

but yeah, the mount & belt location on the XR look to be nearly the same as the 2.2 ion.... :up_to_som:

and as an update... procharger's off, DFMU's out, boost gauge disconnected, MSD Dashhawk out. that's probably all i'm gonna do for now.

I found the Aura to be sexy from day one! This has so much potential too. Maybe not for engine mods unless you get real creative. But it's classy all around. Sorry to see the QC go though man. I'm eyeballing a Sky Turbo when I get back from Korea. I'm gonna add it to the collection, though, instead of losing the IRL.

I think you could have done worse on a replacement car though. I love the Aura and would love to have one.

Like I said on IF, the Aura's do look great I have an XE model and thought it drove great for a car its size.
