The majority of users, i'd guess 95%, drive this car to work and around town. What does it mean to be unbalanced that everyone keeps talking about? does 10HP do it? 30HP? 50HP?

Of the small percentage of people who race the car professionally, amateur, track, autocross, drift... I'm guessing at least half of them have at least one power type mod.
Would a 230 BHP 86 not be balanced?

What makes 200 the magic number when the 17s have 205 with not much other changes to the chassis.
You pretty much summed up my feelings on this issue,perfectly.

I wish some of the people that have the car boosted would chime in with detailed first hand descriptions of how the balance differs,or maybe I missed those posts.

I've always felt like 225 hp to the wheels without any,or minimally added weight would be perfect,but it would have to have no narrower than 225 wheels.These shitty 210s wouldn't cut it would any more power.
