Daily Mine as well. Only thing super annoying is car doesn't get fuel from tank at after about 10 gallons of fuel used (1/4 tank left, still not sure why). and Drone most likely caused by "Y" Pipe from headers to greddy catback.

Nope, why would you need the nanny stuff?.....all driver input, keeps you on your toes as it should be......no radio to distract, forget talking on the phone to loud with engine noise and windows down because no AC.....wouldnt have it any other way.....makes for safer driving......think motorcycle.Not for everyone but if your a purist at heart you would get it.

Whats your fuel tank set up, have done extensive work with this, been in my tank so many times its ridiculous,have had the tank plates on and off so many times now i run a rubber gasket and installed bolts and nut plates on for tank plates instead of the messy black tar shit,... had a dual pump set up, now running the Radium system.....you all stock?

I admire what you guys are doing with your engine swaps. But unlike Texas, it is snowing here in winter and I drive my FR-S in winter. Don't you think it would be good to have ABS and traction control especially with a 400hp FR-S?

Learn to drive without it. Everyone did before it was invented, and your family lived all those years to produce you.

Honestly it would be a bear in snow or ice, im from Northern Illinois so I know what your talking about......you would just have to be extra careful, but I do think it could be done.....even though its a cheap car, after all is said and done mine isnt cheap anymore and I think I would park it in winter just because of rust from salt.

Yes it would be good. Although many people never had it and didn't die, there where many others that did have trouble that could have been saved with the "nannies". If there's a technological advancement, why not take advantage of it, I have been in a few situations where ABS has saved me from an accident.

It can be done but pricey with Pure Automotive Motec plug and play package.

Ah hell! No AC in Houston? That would be impossible for me. Swap just might not be the best idea with that missing. Deal breaker :P

My family's car was just 45-60hp Ford. Didn't need any nannies. (hey! it rhymes!) We are talking about 400hp here. BTW, I am adopted.
