If you plan on modding the shit out of the car, buy an 03 and have at it. If you want a daily driver that can go fast with minimal mods buy the IX. Electric blue is the shit!!! Don't get the MR 6 speed if you like going to the drag strip. 5 speed is where its at so you won't have to shift into 5th gear.
Spoken for the truth !!!! I also have a LY03. You don't need the MR's 6spd.
It's a hindrance on the track. Plus you can find 03's for a pretty good price...
put on the ix hotside or even the whole turbo...have it tuned and have a quicker car for a song !!!

ps: I wanted an EB V/// but already had the LY so I painted the Sup EB !!!!
