It's a 2005 9-2x Aero. Already has stage 2 on it and a set of winter and summer tires and runs great. The stock suspension has a bit of body roll in it, but should have that fixed before the end of the year with some upgraded sway bars. It's fun to drive, I'm looking forward to testing it out in the snow soon.

My friend who, I think is on the forum, just got a 2006 Red 9-2x with the 2.5, exhaust, and a tune. That thing rips!!!

Nice car, buddy has an 05 aero as well. Accessport stg 2, 3.5" turboback, STI springs, some sort of aftermarket sways. Fun car, he's had some emissions (bad o2) and oil consumption issues lately, but he drives it pretty hard. Enjoy!

Nice car! I really like the black 9-2x's.

Take great care with the paint... I bought a new '05 Linear in black and discovered some rock chips on delivery. I asked them to take care of the chips... they buffed the whole car and filled it with swirl marks that would not come out.

They ultimately ended up replacing the car with another, but could not find any black 05's anywhere close, so I ended up getting an Arctic Silver instead.

It was a great DD, but I regretfully sold it after buying a truck -- I needed something to pull the car trailers loaded with broken 9000's! :)

Enjoy!

Hey ERP, nice 9-2x to have gotten. If you want I have a set of BBS RKI's for the 9-2x. I tried to sell them before I was deployed last year and had no luck. Still trying to sell them. Shoot me a PM if you'd be interested.

An inch of fresh snow and a 9-2x in an empty parking lot is the most fun I have had since last night. Its amazing how easy it is to control in a drift. One hand on the wheel, one hand on the e-brake and a foot on the gas is all that is needed for hours of fun.

I have been keeping an eye out for an 06 aero for a few months now. But they are so rare they call then 'unicorns' on the 9-2x forum. This one showed up on the forum just over a week ago and the owner works just down the street from me. My last two cars came from texas, so it was nice being able to see the car I want to buy on my drive to work.

The sad part about this is that the 9-2x renders my NG900 obsolete. I have a fair weather car, I don't need two bad weather cars.
