Private party sale. Got a coupe thousand more than I would on a trade. I'll have to bring the speed3 by for you to do a once over. Its a matter of finding time to do it.

^Nice car man! I've heard those are very fun and because they are factory boosted it's really easy to see 30% power gains with not a lot of money spent. I'd be willing to bet a catless turboback and reflash adds at least 25whp. That's a gain you'll definitely feel.

I hope you come out and autocross it or something. They are more than capable of being very fast. I know there is/was one local here that surprised the heck out of me.

Thanks man. Yeah they have really good potential from what I have read on the forums. The only down fall is the fwd but hey that doesn't mean the fun factor doesn't exist. I've already got a few Cobb items picked out. I'm researching the best bang for the buck when it comes to the turbo back.

I miss the fun factor of the S but at the end of the day, I needed 4 doors. So it meets the criteria pretty well. The low end pull is nice from factory. I can forsee a ticket or two if I don't stay out of the throttle.

Ill have to come spectate a autox event as I have never entered into anything like it. Maybe once I see a layout or how the event works, ill join. I've always wanted to try it but just never had the guts to like you and Jeff.

Well if you come to an event and have a helmet to bring you can almost always go for a ride. Most people are willing to let others go for the ride although if you don't want to feel overwhelmed don't go out with the fastest guys on the track. My experience with that has been fun but it makes things look so much more challenging when you're moving that fast.

Don't think that FWD will hold you back. Most of it comes down to driver. Usually a good rear sway bar makes a night and day difference on the handling of a FWD car.

You'll never go wrong with Cobb parts either. My STI had their full turboback and it was such a nice quality piece.
