My intake and lightweight crank pulley really increased my throttle response.
My <insert brand here> catback sounds AMAZING. Really brings out that boxer rumble. It's how it should have sounded stock. My <insert sub 1k coilovers> handle so much better than stock. I'd buy the stock tires over and over again even though there are superior Michelins for considerably cheaper. When I shift it grinds. HELP! I need financial advice about if I can afford this car. People on a car forum should be the most reasonable to ask about that. You are missing the point of this car. |

"Hey, I saw you had an accident, and I'm glad you're ok, but your car is totaled and you should get a lawyer and sue the pants off the other driver, because I have a roomate who is a law student and said that it would be a good idea. I'm sure you'll win!"

I always turn off traction control, the computers that make several hundred calculations per second are inferior to my jet fighter pilot reflexes and will cause me to get in an accident.
Even though I have never driven my car at it's limit for more than a single powerslide on my way to work three months ago in the rain that was totally on accident. |

I totally bought an aluminum driveshaft and I can definitely feel it has increased my power going to the wheels because rotational mass is really high ratio of benefit compared to sprung
