This engine is amazing. Its probably one of the best 4-cyl ever made tbh. I had one a few years ago, slapped a turbo kit on it, made like 350 whp and ran this thing on track with absolutely no issues at all. It's not a torque monster but that what makes it great imo, especially on track, very easy to drive. Congrats for real.

But I'd say you got a fair deal on an extremely low mileage Si. As for the RTV issue with the GR86, I'd say you made the right decision, assuming that Toyota doesn't recall the and fix the issue in the near future. Either way, congrats.

Just last year in the summer I found one for 7k CAD and it had 170k km, sadly my first 2 shifts in my new job was scheduled when I wanted to go see it and it was sold🙁.

The most frustrating part of owning that exact same car is how low the headroom is. Almost nobody can fit in there comfortably with a helmet on. Buying a low racing seat becomes mandatory and not everyone has the budget to change out stuff before any seat time. The car should've came without a sunroof from factory for that extra headroom.
