It only LOOKS like a 5spd. The previous owner was so embarrassed about owning a Sissy-Stick that he purchased a 5spd boot and knob. It's still an auto with the stick merely in the Park position. Funny ****.

thanks got half way thru looking at ebay. Buying a 5 spd
i paid less for my 01 ebp sh....good choice looking else where. if those exterior mod are what you want youll have way more fun doing them yourself and take way more pride in what youve done. i hate it when kids buy these cars and run em into the ground not giving two $hits.
Nice to see another aspiring Texan Luder. Good decision you'll be so much happier if you wait and get the right one. I live in Austin and it took me a year of solid searching to find my one owner, bone stock, old lady driven 5spd at 103K. I pretty much paid retail for mine at the time $6500+ taxes.
Crazy thing was I found it at a small dealership literally a 5 minute walk away from my mom's place. Who'da thought?
^^ same here but i go lucky after a month and a half.....old lady one owner. poor woman had a stroke and couldnt drive a 5spd anymore, needed the money for a different vehical. paid 6200 at 107k. she cried when she signed the title i kinda felt bad drove it home in an ice storm lol
looks nice.
I wonder how he got an extra 16HP by adding the following things?
ACT Organic Street Clutch and Xtreme Pressure Plate- Street Performance
Fidanza Aluminum 8lb Flywheel
WaveTrac Differential because of this both front tires spin instead of just one.
TEIN Super Street Damper to adjust height and 16 settings for stiffness (Car is lowered 1.1 inch in the front and 1.5 in the back.)
ARC 140 degree thermostat
Sherman Radiator

It does look like an incredible deal, but even though it has the low miles I would be concerned that engine is dieing from abuse. You don't take out the back seats and put on a nice clutch, lightweight flywheel and worst of all LSD so your burnouts are even.
Also why has the rad and thermo been changed.. possible overheat?
I realize I may be being a bit critical, don't get me wrong those parts are awesome, but this kid has FLOGGED that thing, without a doubt.
Having that in mind, its still probably only a bad deal if the rings are shot and is burning oil like a mofo, the head gasket is bad from overheat or the tranny is grinding/popping out of gears.
Something you aren't considering. LSD = removal of ATTS = no longer an SH = engine/transmission swap.
