Default thats a lot of work from Jan to Aug 2002.

What's up? :-)
Are you selling the car or are the mods not what you expected? I have noticed that you've had some problems with some of the mods.

I'm just curious.

Default well my warranty was up a few weeks ago and i find...

the stiff suspension setup to be harsh on Houston roads b/c I work in Med center/downtown area(and so does my GF.....esp my GF :-) Also I dont think the FWD is as much fun as quattro or RWD. I love my car (some ppl. think I'm obssessed w/ it) and I had big plans. But reality comes that German cars w/o warranty are a little like gambling...........and i suck at gambling :-)

Default I hear ya.

If its something you drive alot, I'd have the same concerns. Unless of course, your mechanically savvy. Its still just a car with german parts instead of domestic.

So your going to strip it and sell it?
Or just strip it back to OEM?

That car in OEM makes a great daily driver in Houston. Perhaps you could nab a older simpler dedicated car for sporting.

Default thought about it....was gonna keep this one w/ K04 kit and get 91 MR2 turbo but

i'd rather get something new and get warranty again. I'm mechanically okay w/ very limited tools...i can do ecu, intake, BPV, etc but not exhaust, susp., turbo, timing belt etc.
