Tim,

Congrats on car. Let me know when I can check it out. If we meet in maybe 1 1/2 weeks I will have my stage 2 software. I already have an exhaust, diverter valves, and airfilter installed. That way, you can drive the car when it is at full stage 2. Let me know

I would stay away from the metal camber plates if you are looking for everyday comfort!! they make the ride really rough...

My understanding is that for the track (primary focus), 18" wheels are the better way to go. I don't spend much time above 130mph right now (infrequent road america) so do you need the aero kit? I am more interested in performance than appearence.

I take it you have driven with them. I wouldn't think they would be that much rougher unless you end up replacing all the rubber with hard inserts. Is this what your talking about?

Will contact you. Now if I can only break it in faster!

I am looking to do the engine tune next winter. I am interested in area under the curve so Evo stage 4GT or fvd sounds better to me at this point.

I had a Seal Grey TT and painted the lower front spoiler, side skirts, rear bumper lip, and bumperettes to match. It's amazing what a difference it made. Here's a link to some pics.Pictures

Nice

I really like the look. How bad does it lok when you scrape the front? How much did it cost to have it painted?
