I live in Louisiana, we do not get snow, but the potholes are just as bad!! I have not bottomed it out, but the occasional dead animal is an obstacle in itself!

Of course, I am, I mean how can you take an 85 hp car at the wheels and make it fast without ruining its functionality?? Keep in mind that I put over 100 miles a day on this car!! The look is for shows, and if painted correctly, with the right treatment before hand, the panels will not chip unless you try to do that. That is'nt your average krylon treatment. I compete in sound quality events, so my goal is not to be fast, but to be showy!! By your comment, I am achieving that. The four inch drop was accomplished by reforming the springs, courtesy of a local machine shop that works on suspensions. I tell ya, that drop is not all that it is cracked up to be. You loose most of the play in the front springs and struts, so its like riding in a logging truck. I am about to go to the intrax springs, and gas struts to soften the ride. If the weight of the hatch sags, then I may go with air shocks for the back to help support the weight. As for the interior, wait until I post the pics of the new sub box and floating amps in the hatch!!! And of the purple inserts in the seats and doors!! I am very very careful with that car as it is on the show circuit. My view on show vehicles is that what good is having one if you can't or don't drive it??? Anyway, will be posting new pics of this install, and of the new candy yellow paint, with just a touch of purple pearl in the clear. Also, going to use lace on the sides, with purple pearl, as soon as I can find a pattern that I like. Slamming third takes some getting used to, as the shift pattern is closer together. At first, expect some second to fourth shifting. After that, it becomes second nature, and you will actually find that your shift times have shortened!!

Wow, in my catagory you're a prik! Just because he realizes (as many are now on the forum) that our little cars ARE NOT RACE CARS, and NEVER WILL BE doesn't mean you have to bag oob him for wanting to add some personal touches to his car. These cars are very well designed for one main purpose, Comfortable During Commuting. They are not made to be fast, and without a TON of work, reinforcements, and nearly whole new drivetrain setup, they won't be fast. That's just the way it is. Back to the Topic: Nice car man, I'd like to see more photos of it, there only seems to be the one on the Cardomain site.
