We get it man.. You like your car. That's good. "True drivers car" is subject to personal opinion. If I was going to get a car like yours.. I'd rather have an s2000. I know we have a reputation of FYHN.. But I'm guilty of liking those s2k's. Glad you like your car though bro.. I can understand why you do.

I know I'm quoting an old post, (sorry), but a friend of mine worked at a tire store and I asked him about putting summer potenzas on instead of all seasons because I knew I was moving down south. He told me it was a waste of money and "why put on a tire that isn't good year round?"

Now I realize really would've been better off with the summer tires. Based off what I've researched summer tires actually have better traction on wet roads than all seasons.

your tire guy should be fired.

All seasons should be left to daily drivers who rarely/never drive spiritedly...

Downpipe - $200
1000 cc injectors - $350
Walbro - $100
Kinugawa 20g - $800
Open Source Tune - Free
E85

Everything else stock.

Sold my stock turbo for $600. You do the math. I ran 12's at 6000ft altitude with a ridiculous 8500 DA that day. At sea level it would be very close to 11's. Like I have said the WRX blows the MS3 out of the water in the bang for the buck category under 400whp.
