you did good for a noob getting thrashed there, congrats. youll learn to fit in if you keep that attitude. full exhaust is my first concern right now, outside of getting rid of the potenzas on it.

on mine, i had an equal length header, catless uppipe, 3" catless turboback exhast, and a boost controller set at 17psi. after i put in the exedy stage 1 clutch it was rippin off 13.15@105 :y they're fun little cars man, i hope you have good luck with it

no. oddly enough someone with a 2" receiver hitch on their car left an indent in my bumper, i had my car on the alignment rack today and saw it. very well hidden, the screwdriver pry marks gave it away though.

i havent really taken any pics other than the one of it in the employee parking lot, and when i took it after it was off the lift, spending the night inside. ill try to get some pics later, maybe danno can crew the camera.
