I've only had it for two days and put 250 miles on it so I don't have a lot to say yet.
Because it's the MR edition, it has the Berstein shocks, aluminum roof, 6 speed tranny, BBS wheels, along with a few other things. I have to break it in until 600 miles so I can't truely enjoy it yet. But just driving from 3000-4000 rpms, the turbo spools and you get a sudden head jerk back. I can't believe how fast this thing is. It handles just like the S around corners but not so harsh because of the upgraded Berstein shocks. I had espelier springs on my S to lower it and it made it feel just like stock which was a little rough. You know what I mean. Also, the color is Charcoal Grey and only comes on the MR.

I do have to admit, I do miss some aspects of my S. Even my squeaky brakes.

Yeah I feel the same way. I guess we're destined for skin cancer.

I have a couple freebies for anyone in the S.F. Bay Area that wants to pick them up.
1. I removed the Comptech CAI and I have a brand new carbon fiber lid and brand new UNI Service Kit for the filter from Comptech.

2. If someone needs the OEM sidemarkers and bulbs.

3. The amber signals from the headlights after they were cleared. (not sure why someone would need these?)

4. OEM Hood and Trunk "H" emblems

PM me.
