I haven't updated this thread in a while. April 2016 I drove from Alaska to Mahwah, NJ. Lived there until March 2017 where I...

I don't do heavy mechanical work on my own car. The hardest thing I'll tackle is swapping struts/springs. I had a trusted performance shop do it. I didn't even look at the bill since I prepaid...

That's my dream right there. The only time I've ever paid off a car... is when I sold it. :( I'm determined to keep this one until it's at least paid off though. Good job!

The FA20DIT is purpose-built to handle more power over the NA FA20, so what makes "sense" might differ from person to person. One is made to take more power, while the other isn't, but is just...
