I say this in jest.....

I would have liked to do something with mine, but my car is totally JDM (it's not rhetorical because I am in Japan, the car, a 99 Saber / TL is US built, but has the JDM 2.5L motor). No one builds anything for it.

lol....

wide, expensive rear rubber (the beauty is that the S14's can easily take a 285 in 1. the rear)...something along the lines of a Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 or a Bridgestone Potenza RE01-R

2. Be easy on the throttle.

I'm not going to drive it daily with 1000 whp

I'll use a boost controller to turn it down to say, 650 whp on low boost, and close to 1000 on high boost.

Launching the car will require a bit of care and effort, but it will be explosively fast at any point over 80mph.

Scary fast will be a good description !

I just moved to Renton now...i'm going to settle in Issaquah though. If Seattle is cheap to purchase a property, then Cali must be insane. I have several homes in Georgia and my largest one was about 6,000 square feet with 2/3 of acre of land...it cost me about $500k.

500k here buys a small house with no land that are close to each other. You can shake your hands with the neighbor. And I HATE the fact that EVERY home is wood. There are NO brick homes here. Wood wood wood wood.

Other than that I really like it...the weather has been quite crappy so far, but I'm assured it will eventually clear up once spring comes around.
