Thanks guys! I love the car! As I sit now I can take a lightly moded (turboback exhaust, y pipe, bov) from a roll by a few cars easily......oh yeah the Lancer was a hell of a lot slower.

I actually have pretty big plans for it. For only owning it for 4 weeks now I have lots done (see sig). These are my plans for the car:

Engine: 3" Perrin Turboback Exhaust, S-Pipe, TurboHoses Sleeper SMIC kit, MPI Stand Alone Engine Management System, Perrin Intake, NX Intercooler spray kit (with a purge), MAM Tubular exhaust manifold, MAM Stage 3 Fuel kit (pan,injectors, pump, rail, lines, socks, etc...everything I need)

Exterior: Carbon Creations cf lip, DG painted eyelids, DG painted grill, JDM HID headlights, 17" LE37T's, DG cf hood, cf canards, 2 sets of tires (one for the twisty track, one for the strip)

Interior: Stock with a few gauges........oh yeah and partial monkey bars with some Takata harnesses and full cf interior kit

Suspension: JIC Coilover kit, Rear titanium X brace, dg cf front strut bar...wont need anything else

This is just a preliminary wish list that is attainable by the time this coming winter is through. But you know how things change, new products come out, etc etc...

Yeah the motor has a few issues if you try and overboost it on stock internals. But if you do it right low 13's are very attainable with forged internals.
