Any videos of that thing? I always thought it would be cool to do a super 7 replica with a f20.

Get to know your car before you start "improving". Then you'll know what you need/want to do. Spend time improving the driver. These are always overlooked. Nothing causes a facepalm quite like a modded car with a driver that obviously doesn't know how to drive it.

Agree 100%. $500 towards seat time will always be better than $500 towards upgrades, especially power upgrades.

So we ended up getting them for really cheep. Had it not been that type of situation with a discount involved, I doubt I would have changed anything for quite awhile longer.

Same here...

For about the first year, aside from replacing the head unit & speakers....all the running gear was stock.

If you look in my sig you'll see I still have not done all that much to it. The FlashPro makes a huge difference, but that is just for 06+.

Just drive it for a while....see if there are any local groups that meet. Talk to and see other cars that may help.
