Just bought this to replace this because 'family friendly'. Came with a few goodies from Japan, namely intake, full exhaust, aftermarket Recaros and upsized front swaybar.

Those things are hilarious because you can drive them flat tack everywhere and they have a tonne of grip and great brakes. My mum had one for more than a decade and because of how used to the Swift she'd got other cars were dicey for her (especially when I leant her my Mazdaspeed 3 which she immediately floored in second gear and just about torque steered off the road)

Interesting definition you have of 'family friendly' though, that car had to go as soon as the grandkids came on the scene (replaced with a much more practical but much less fun Jazz RS)

Its family friendly in the fact its has 4 doors and was made this millennium. Its really just for me to get to work and back but I can take the little fella places if need be. We had a second gen Fit RS which was replaced with a 2009 Mazda Atenza as the family crap carrier. This thing handles better than the Levin which surprises me. Needs a muffler though. Its straight piped with a resonator.

Very nice! I think the blob eye might be my favorite WRX face. I used to have a bug eye (non-sti) and I miss it very badly so I'm super jealous.

It doesn’t normally, it usually is a pain in the butt to pull off and takes two people. I have a clam hinge kit from BOE Fabrication and it makes my life so much easier.

Drove this thing for the first time in a couple of weeks. It’s been in the garage behind the S2000 since the weather was so nice.

If all goes according to plan I'll have a different track toy by next weekend and the S2000 will be headed back to a more street friendly form

Miata is always the answer. Ex-S1 SuperMiata. ~2200lb, 220whp flat tune on low boost with the ability to turn it up to somewhere around 350whp on E85. I put a deposit down, heading out to California to pick it up Thursday.

I traded in my mk2 TTRS for a RS3 this past month. The RS3 is Paint to Sample in British Racing Green, and to my knowledge is either 1:1 in the US or the world. As soon as it showed up from California I immediately put H&R springs and my LM-R's on it, as well as some secondary decat pipes. I have a set of ecode headlights that I intend to put on the car this weekend to remove the amber corners. It's night and day difference compared to the TTRS, couldn't be happier.

As a BMW fanboy it makes me crazy how ugly the design language has been and to constantly have longing eyes for what Audi is doing.

This is the best looking sedan available and they are monstrously fast. :ck5:
