oh ee em.

maybe resize and relocate the battery, grab an Hclip for the stock belts and TRACK it.

After the first weekends sessions, maybe save the OEM wheels and tires for street duty, then mount a lighter, stickier (still DOT) set for the events.

Upgrade brake pads and fluids from that point and -hopefully- thats it.

Ive had too many vehicles go the extreme route now!

As for NA exhaust set up, I'm not sure bout other NA engine, but for Boxer (NA 2.2L~2.5L) a lot of ppl prefer 2.25"~2.5" exhaust set-up. I myself has 2.25"~2.5" exhaust system: Borla header, HFC, SPT AB exhaust (want Stromung CB exhuast).

I'm really not sure yet. I will be autox'ing it - but will probably want to mod it (suspension at the very least). I might end up running it in stock form for a while to get used to it. Then depending on how it does in whatever class it ends up in, I may mod it or may not.

At least would probably end up tinting and doing some minor cosmetic things though.

Knowing Toyota and how they like to keep adding little stuff here and there, I'm probably going to wait too!

My ultimate goal would be to buy a new one and keep it mint and buy a used one to fix up! I think that's fairly relative.

Strip it, cage it, race it!

World Challenge or Grand Am, whichever series looks better the season after the car is released. If neither of those works out, Redline Time Attack.

If I do end up getting one, I'll probably just put some nice wheels on it and maybe an aftermarket exhaust. It'll pretty much just be a DD for me.... At least until the warranty is up.

My goal is to create a very balanced and reliable daily driver / weekend warrior.

*220 hp to the wheels
*170 lbtq
*N/A
*HID's
*Volks te37s
*A GC / Koni yellow like suspension feel
*And an exhaust tone that puts a grin on your face everytime you spark the ignition
