Are you for real or trollin'? SMH

Everybody knows it should be done cold with the car on as much of a forward incline as possible. That way you don't burn yourself and the slop makes it easier to reach.

After that I'm thinking it should be good... for a while

My entire upgrade process has been built around two premises: (A) I want to keep the handling characteristics WAYYY inside the safety limits, and (2) I wanted a little more power. Basically, I've reached the point where the car performs fantastically, I have tons of fun with it and the next increment/upgrade is so steep financially that I doubt I will take it. BTW, why would anyone want to lower a car that already scrapes every parking concrete stop and 7-11 curb at the stock height?

Also, since I don't have a car payment (paid cash) I don't need to be concerned with a monthly hit.

I've been out for exactly one track day and immediately identified my target areas. I swore off of track days until I install a proper oil cooler. I haven't yet done it because I'm a penny-pincher for my family's sake. It's in the when-I-get-around-to-it category.

It does push at the limits but, like you, I prefer the incremental approach. It's a great platform that can be seasoned to taste. Out of the box, the suspension is nothing short of exceptional, especially when compared to anything else up to twice the price point.

At the front desk.
Me: "How can I help you?"
Patron: "I have an issue with blah blah blah"
*solves out the issue*
Patron: "You need to smile. It's part of customer service."
Me: "It's not in my job description."
Patron frowns
Me: "Now, let me tell you. You need to smile & have a nice day."

Yeah... I don't think, she liked my answer

Apparently one that doesn't require interaction with the customers. Or at least customers that expect a smile.
