I'd recommend getting the car a clear bra to preserve that nice paint correction.

Modified SST in your neck of the woods. If you want to check out what a built block SST feels like hit me up.

It's "great" but short of amazing. If the Evo X came with a 6 spd manual option I would've gone for that.

The sst has it's pros but also a lot of cons..

- EXTREMELY jerky when it's not warmed up completely
- has a tendency to shift up too early in normal but in sport mode it holds the gears way too long.. wish there was a setting in between

more cons than that but I can't think of them right now

With the S-sport, it really shifts fast, loving it! But I still miss the stick, and yeah, if it came in a 6speed manual, I'll be all over it.
