Washed and sold it to Carvana. Amazing car, had it for 10 years, loved it. Lot of good memories and fun times. Bittersweet, but feels fitting that I replaced it with a 2nd gen.

Switched back to e85. Car feels and sounds great! Amazing how a few mods transform the FA20.

Put in new headlights. Bought these used (Winjet with morimoto xb35), restored the housings with Sylvania restoration kit and mounted them today. Pretty happy with how it turned out.

Nice, post up a review if you get them. At that price it's hard to go wrong. I was actually thinking of getting 595 RS-RR's, but to use as track tires.
