I have been looking for a while and have not seen any Black T-5R wagons for sale anywhere. Are there any in the USA?

I know of one that is in NYC, but that is the only one I have seen and it was not for sale.

Was it a '95 T-5R? I have seen several '96 R's and a few 97 R's but not any '95's.

There is a modded Black T-5R wagon for sale on SS. It belongs to Girraff3.

I actually talked to that guy a few months ago. I'm wondering if that was a car from Canada or was it originally shipped to the USA?

Almost positive it was a US delivered car. I'm sure you could get the VIN from Bob and check via carfax or your local dealer where it was originally shipped to.
It makes me wish I could afford another project but my current 850R is keeping me plenty busy and taking enough of my money. Lol.

He has done all of the mods that I would ever want to make. He claims the gets 17 mpg, I was wondering how those mods would effect the milage. These seems to be very simular to the mods that BoxPin has.

BoxPin, what kind of gas milage do you get?

If I was able to get that car, I would do 1 thing to it, maybe 2.

I'll let you know what my car is getting soon as I get the time to install my go fast parts. I'll be running almost the same setup as him. Only thing different is I'll have an 18T, R mani, different brand DP and exhaust vs. his 19T, Japanifold, and OBX. But first, next week is BBK time.

about 16 around town and still getting 30-31 on the freeway (at 55). The ECU makes a big difference because it puts out more fuel when you get on it. I noticed better around town mileage when I had the OEM ecu in when I was working on my smog test.

Can you keep 2 ECU's and swap them out without any other adjustment?
