Just Bought A 5th Gen!

Hey guys, I just bought a 5th gen, going to go pick it up tomorrow. It's a 2000 SE 5spd. Forest green, with tan leather. It needs some body work...got some surface rust, but thats about it. Picked it up for $2800, and its got about 210km in Canada, or 130k miles in the States. I came from owning 2 4th gens. One, a 95 SE 5spd....sold it. The other a 98 GXE auto...for sale right now. I missed having the 5spd so I had to buy another one, which happened to be a 5th gen.
I have a few questions. First I have a alot of 4th gen parts lying around, can I use some of them on the 5th gen? ie. K-Sport coilovers, fed spec y-pipe, cat back, cold air, and FSB. Sorry for being such a newb, but I'm happy to part with my 4th gens, and welcome a 5th gen. I have lot of plans for it, can't wait to get modding!

Good to see another manual 5th gen owner on the boards. Sounds like you got a decent deal on the car assuming the body work is minimal.

The SSIM and VIAS + IM spacers are great.

Everyone says congrats on getting a 5th Gen. Well, I do too. But congrats on getting back into a 3-pedal. I bet your left foot was getting bored in your last car.
