The passion is BACK! Not since my highschool days in my (obnoxiously loud and dropped) Del Sol have I felt this passionate about my daily driver. This is what a car should be (well, minus the anemic stock engine power)

Couple of questions off the bat:

The engine ticks at idle. Sounds like a belt/cog is tapping something. Not horribly loud but noticeable, especially for less than 100mi so far. Anyone else?

It's a lease but I def. want to mod. A local friend is parting out his BURZ and offering me first dibs! I'm considering his barely used Berk front pipe and Perrin cat back. Not sure if the header and subsequent tune are worth it for a lease. Thoughts? Anything else that's easily bolt-on/bolt-off you would put on the must have list?

Dealership claims the spoiler would be > $1k painted & installed. JESUS. Anyone selling a halo white spoiler?

Short ram intake. Worth it? Easy enough to return to stock?

Anything you wish someone would have told you at the beginning?

TRD intake helps keep warranty just in case and helps smooth shifting imo. Worth it over stock.
