Nice F$%^en car bro, you are lucky because the mods for that thing really are endless. I saw the HKS on the power block the other weekend and that thing was sick. They modded every possible engine component but most impressive was turbo they dropped in, fuckin smokah. they flew in a special driver from japan to drive just for the competition. It blew the doors off of all the other completely modded neons, sti's, civic si's, lotus', and even a really sweet hondata lotus elise (i think, that one was really close though) there was a turbocharged toyota tacoma with a supra rear end there too from Maine. Anyway enjoy the car and you'll definetly be going through some tires with that fast ass machine.

2003type-s6, I just read your intorductory post on evom.net. I've been reading on there for about 8 months. Wartalon comes off like an a-hole. But, he really knows alot about dsm; and the most cost effective/ highest horsepower mods. Anyway, again, cool car......enjoy.
