My car is my DD and only practical car (GF has the other car which is an MR2 spyder, lol). I autox only and would run full seasons if budget allowed. Honestly i like getting parts and am looking forward to "finishing" my first car. I go to a handful of events per year and spend a bunch of time in the mountains. This forum has helped me develop a higher standard for suspension with the topics covered that go above my head most of the time.

I am currently on RCE yellows with bridgestone S-04s with around -2 camber all around and zero toe. I also have the whiteline rear subframe bushings and rear uca bushings (PITA, but soooo worth it). I plan to install Konis and maybe sways eventually. I'll add sticky tires and wide wheels last or close to last so I can learn more on semi-sticky tires. By the time my skill gets to a level needing them I should have saved enough to make a big jump like Tarmac IIs or similar when I jump to chasing trophies and the track.

My main focus has been suspension with only a catback and intake added for power and I don't regret it a bit.
