Glad to see your an owner of one, after all that shoutbox convincing me and Pat were doing.

Gotta be a fun little car forsure!

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I really like driving it so far, but I haven't even come close to pushing it yet, both straightline and in the corners. I really like the manual steering rack, so responsive.

For power, these made something like 180-190 at the wheels stock. It has a smaller pulley, tune, and some other small stuff and is probably making in the 240whp range. I would like to get this up close to 300whp (max recommended on stock motor/trans) but will need a bigger intercooler and even smaller boost pulley. Also the roof scoop doesn't provide much airflow, so new intercooler ducting from the side vents will be necessary. Maybe this winter.

I'd just drive the wheels off it and leave the power until you do some events, I bet it scares you around corners.

So when's the k24 swap? :D

Like, i need to find a rolling chassis.

I want that feeling of being harnessed down and my insides pushing against my bones from the forces of the turns and intense braking.

Come to a MAC Test N Tune next year and you can ride along with me (and I assume any of the other Evo guys that are there too). I usually put down better raw times than the Exige S that's a regular at events, and Toothy and Matt D. usually put down better raw times than most everyone.

Brandon and Matt would put down better times than most in a Diesel Jetta wagon...

I've only been to regular auto-x's, I'm a noob at that shit.
