I agree. Even the ACD in the IX can be unpredictable during something as simple as an autocross. Depending on what the car thinks your doing and what you want to do it can sometimes start locking up at inappropriate times. I hate ABS, I hate the ACD, and I am glad as hell my IX didn't come with AYC. I'll be stripping the ABS and ACD as soon as time allows. Both those systems have pissed me off at times so out it goes.

I put a tre tranny in my car and granted it only has 400 miles on it so im still breaking it in, it seems strong so far. iv heard alot of good things about them.

as far as the plate

def made me laugh. i agree with u 100%, sure my 03 rattles, bangs, loud, rides wicked rough on lowering springs and stock shocks, ****ty interior etc but its got that raw race car feel that i don't get in cars that even have way more power. many think my car is faster than it is cause of that raw feel. i love it

I think this works on multiple levels

STi's, X's, faux Evo's

REALCAR might also have been fun to get. Why limit myself to an inside joke within Evo's...I could t'off Vettes and everyone else too
